dementia13 Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 I can't believe this has been overlooked, it's such a definitive lick that one of my synths has a patch for this, and I always assumed that dB had programmed it: "Perfect Strangers".

I agree with your choices off of it especially "Hand of Truth". This album usually gets totally lambasted by most people. There are no stupid questions but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots!

Geoff Grace Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Wow there are a lot of great intros listed. These aren't necessarily my favorites; but I don't believe they've been mentioned yet: "Proclamation" Gentle Giant "Shes A Rainbow" The Rolling Stones "2000 Light Years From Home" The Rolling Stones "Change" Tears For Fears Originally posted by [ ¾ ]: When I did get time booked on the 2500 at university, while I was supposed to be working on my composition project, I just had to dabble with the sounds and did get that huge "Angry Sawtooth" sound so famous in Funeral For A Friend. That wouldn't happen to have been at Arizona State University, would it?

Ionian Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Hmm...Some of my favorites to play have been: POLICE - Every Little Thing She Does is Magic Billy Joel - Miami 2017 Bruce Hornsby - The Way It Is (Those lines he plays during the keyboard solo still sound great) Not an intro, but I do love whoever played the keyboard solo during The Theme to Baywatch. I can't seem to find out who that was. I've called the TV Station and the Record Company. They don't have any idea who was on the track... T-Square : Beyond the Dawn (Actually, anything Hirotaki Izumi plays is amazing) Anyway, that's all I can think of right now... www.frankperri.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neelsn Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Hmm... all you Elton, Emerson, and Banks fans deserve a round. But what about that great ARP rock tune that really popularized the machine... Baba O'Riley by The Who. And if you want a short and sweet spin on that formula, Slowburn by Peter Gabriel.

Chip Curtis Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Jan Hammer's solo on Freeway Jam on the Jeff Beck Live with the Jan Hammer Group kicks total minimoog ass. Tony McAlpine ring a bell?

Chaso DeChaso Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I don't think this one's been mentioned yet, its a little obscure... The fuzz organ (I think it is) intro by Dave Stewart (not of the Eurythmics, a different guy) to the piece "Dreams Wide Awake" by the late seventies English Progressive jazz-rock band National Health. [The original version is now on the collection called "Complete".] Stewart just kills on the organ. Maybe my favorite non-classical, non-jazz keyboard player. Does anyone know how he got that awesome organ sound? Anyone who hasn't heard National Health I'd recommend checking them out and hearing Dave Stewart on organ battling wits with the late Alan Gowan on synth, who is an astonishingly fluid soloist. Stewart is particularly harmonically interesting. Although in some ways comparable to Mahavishnu Orchestra (and even superior in the keyboard department), this is more prog rock in terms of compositional complexity and being less improvised than jazz. These guys were playing 14-minute pieces with insane metrical irregularities in an era when punk was the new thing, so obviously they were a minority taste. Stewart went on to Bruford's band with Holdsworth and Jeff Berlin - talk about good musicianship. Chaso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamis Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I like Steve Winwood's beginning to "The Finer Things". I don't know what keyboard he used but I think it was a DX7 and his expertise in using the pitch bend wheel. Yamis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yannis D Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Toto-Hold The Line. I don't know if that's rock to your ears, but anyway it's a great song and a nice intro. Deep Purple-Child in Time. Well... a reason for many of us (mostly in hammond-less Europe) to start searching what is this "Hammond organ" Ray Charles-I do not remeber it's name, but the song is part of the "Blues Brothers O.S.T.". The one with the Rhodes intro. Pure magic. David Bowie-Lady Grining Soul (if i'm correct). Mike Garson's superb octaves solo. Queen-Bohemian Rapsody. A multi talented singer/pianist at his best. Jethro Tull-Locomotive breath. ... and many many others I don't remember right now.
