ABECK Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 +1 on Fletch. Great beefy sounding tracks! I taught my son to play the tune from Close Encounters on my little Casio SK-1. I put little stickers on the right keys for him. He thinks its the absolute coolest thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkKeysStuff Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Faltermeyer fans take note: He's back in the bidness, and did the music for the new Kevin Smith movie, "Cop Out." I was planning on giving it a pass until I learned that, but now I might go see it. (And thanks for reminding me of the Fletch tracks, which I remember learning by repeatedly rewinding the VHS tape back in the day. I was surprised they're not available on iTunes, but I tracked them down on YouTube.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfD Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Looks like Faltermeyer is still getting calls to perform his 80s hit: [video:youtube] Axel F is one of those cool KB-centric tunes that has traveled well.

FunkKeysStuff Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Here's something weird about that song: I had the original sheet music, and it was written in F# minor, even though the recording was in F minor. I could see putting it in a different key to make it easier, but this did just the opposite. Years later I saw it in some "best of the 80s" collection, and it had been moved to F minor. Any ideas in the story behind that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
