STUDIO NOTES:
This has to be one of my favourite remixes. Such a pleasure to work on such a classic track. I can remember buying the 12" - how scary is that!! I always loved Yazoo for the same reasons that the rest of you do - luverly synth sounds combined with Alf's smoky vocals. What a winning combination.
If only they had lasted a little longer...
I kept this mix reasonably simple, I didn't want to clutter it with too many bleeps etc. I just stuck to two main synths for the remix - the Jupiter 8 and SH-101. I decided to do a remix using only hardware synths for sound creation - and with the exception of the choir sound in the chorus, which is mixed really low anyway - I've done just that. I created two similar bass sounds from scratch on both the Jupiter8 and SH101 and sampled them into Halion.
That gave me the best of both worlds - lovely analogue squelchiness with the precision of sampling.
The drums again were taken from MOS, and my assistant, Juan, helped out with the additional basslines.I kept the structure intact, with the addition of an extended intro and outro. I have also created a videoclip for this remix too, which uses the original Yazoo promo.I sometimes think that the vocals could be a bit louder, but you all know the song, so I figure that your brains would 'fill in the blanks' and let you enjoy the new instrumentation.
As with all my remixes, I like to include a few extra surprises in the mix and some of the samples I've used are blatantly obvious "Get ready for the show!!" whislt others are mixed with a little more subtlety.
Samples include :
Alphaville - The Jet Set
Depeche Mode - Ice Machine
Propaganda - Dream Within A Dream
New Order - Confusion
Yazoo - Situation
(take that sample spotters!!)
Get set! for more Yazz mixes in 2008
Update (OLD) : I'll be going to UK in June 08 to see Yazoo play LIVE!!! I'll be going to the Brighton & both London shows, so I hope to see you all there!
