- THE SYNTHIE REVIEW
- ------------------
-
- Yeah, as a contrast to the metal review, here is a review of the
- other kinda music I hear . Let's start :
-
- (first maxi-cd's)
-
- LASERDANCE : COSMO TRON (1989)
- Great Tune with great instruments . very good to dance .
-
- LASERDANCE : POWERRUN (not available anymore)
- Wonderful rythm and drums . very good to dance, too
-
- LASERDANCE : THE MEGAMIX VOLUME 1
- wonderful maxi including 8 old tracks in one 12 minutes track .
- Peter Slaghuis did great remix-work . Very good max-cd, you must
- have it as a computer(sound)freak . VEEERY good to dance .
- GREAT BONUSSONG : "YOU AND ME"
-
- LASERDANCE : THE MEGAMIX VOLUME 2
- including 9 songs in 1 12 minutes megamix . GREEAAAAT, nearly
- as good as the first, a little bit softer, but also very good
- to dance ...
- Very good cd-bonussong (6 minutes) called ELECTRO BASED
-
- LASERDANCE : THE MEGAMIX VOLUME 3
- With another 8 songs, but not as good as the others . Not very
- good to dance, the rythm canges too hard. Great bonus on cd :
- "FALL OF THE WALL" (DDR - Space mix .....)
-
- LASERDANCE : CHANGING TIMES (ALBUM,1990)
- The first album from Erik & CO, with 8 very great tunes that
- all sound a little the same . The last two songs are too slow
- and too ballad-like . Nevertheless a must for fans ...
-
- LASERDANCE : "new cd-album 1991"
- I heard it at the shop one time . All songs are too slow and ballads.
- Let your fingers away, take the old stuff from them but not the
- new ...
-
- KOTO : JABDAH
- The hit from KOTO, actually the best song from KOTO . Typical
- KOTO-instruments and rythm. Nevertheless greeeeeat song but not so
- good to dance (like all from KOTO) .
-
- KOTO : TIME
- Again a very good song from this group with new instruments .
- Now the songs sound nearly as LASERDANCE . Buy it !
-
- KOTO : THE KOTO MIX & JABDAH MEGAMIX
- A full 6 minutes remix of JABDAH, overgreat song and a megamix
- of their greatest hits so far (JABDAH,VISITORS,CHINESE REVENGE and
- JAPANEESE WAR GAME) . Great, if you have JABDAH, you MUST have this
- maxi-cd .
-
- KOTO : MASTERPIECES (CD-ALBUM 1990)
- All great KOTO-Songs together : TIME,CHINESE REVENGE,JABDAH,JAPANEESE
- WARGAME and many more . THIS CD IS A MUST !!!
-
- KOTO : KOTO PLAY SYNTHESIZER HITS
- Many Synthesizer Hits played by KOTO with their typical instruments
- ans rythm etc. Great CD if you have the other ones .
-
- this is for LASERDANCE and KOTO . As a computerfreak you should know
- this groups, because they make that music that the musicians make on
- computers (LAP has converted some KOTO-tunes ...) . There are many
- more LASERDANCE maxi's, but most of them are all not available .
-
- Now for a special topic : POPCORN and it's Remixes .
-
- 1973 : POPCORN from Gerschon Kingsley and MOOG Synthesizer
- Single with a girl eating (what ! guess !) on the cover.
- 1980 : POP-CORN from Altranity. Sounds like the original, only
- better quality and better instruments.
- 1984 : POP CORN special DJ's mix from M & H Band . maxi-Record with
- 2 great Remixes in great quality . GREAT !!
- 1985 : POP CORN from Anarchic System (version originale chantee) with
- nice lyrics (!) . Good
- 1985 : POPCORN from MISTER K on ORIGINALE OLDIES (France) . Sounds
- extremely like the Original
- 1986 : POP CORN from MISTER K with another song by the master of it,
- Gerschon Kingsley called 'HEY HEY' . Sounds extremely like the
- Original '73 tune
- 1988 : THE BEST REMIX ! POPCORN'88 BY TIC ! With guitars and vocals and
- much much more . I have it only on Tape and want it on maxi-cd or
- maxi record . I will pay very good ...
- 1989 : POPCORN on Synthesizer Greatest Hits . Good remix but bad
- Lead-instrument (too high - BAAAH) .
- 1990 : POP-CORN on Synthesizer Hit-collection . Not very good .
- 1990 : POPCORN FRESH HOt MIX 1990 by COBA : GRRRREEEAAAAAT !
- As good as the M&H-Band's remix . GREAT . On the maxi-CD
- is also a great song called PANCAKE (?!?) . BUY IT !
-
- Also heard : 3 different modules (SOUNDTRACKER, you know ...)
- POPCORN : Good Remix but a little bit boring .
- POPCORN 2 : Nice Remix, bad instruments .
- POPCORN 3 : Original tune with original bad instruments and a
- wrong refrain . Nice .
-
- This is it for POPCORN . Let's text the Synthesizer Samplers :
-
- KOTO : Great quality, new mixes .
- DDD Synthesizer Greatest 1-4 : old mixes, old instruments,
- good songs . Good but not Great .
- World of Synthesizer Album : Single album with some famous and
- some shit songs . Old mixes (like in 'FILMTHEMES' 1-3)
- World of Synthesizer Singles : 1-8 Quite good, but altogether
- too expensive . 9-12 Shit !!!
- Synthesizer Greatest (From TV-SHOP) : OOOOLD Mixes and some new
- songs . Too less new songs for toooo much money ...
- EURO-DJ Sampler 1-7 : Great ! Actual songs, new mixes and
- instruments .
