I really like sound of this version of 'Blue Monday',
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHLbaOLWjpc
but there are many, many things about the video that annoy me. A small sample :
- that's a cruddy monochord (I made one as a pressie for oor Nigel, much more practical & prettier)
- the sig gen looks at least late 40s
- voice short delay effect - how? It's generally taken that the first time an artificial reverb effect was used was in 1947. The producer's bathroom, for this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BIuX7IsdE8
- where is the vocal chorus coming from? (Ok, magnetic wire recording had been around a while, tape was just emerging, you could overlay - but they were all really big machines, valve/tube electronics, I don't see one)
- NO-ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS USES RUSTY STRINGS
However, all these are coumterbalanced for me by intrigue on the 4-stringed hammered thing (what is that called?) and most of all by imagining - Stephen Morris drum roll, tss tss tss...
Peter Hook playing a banjolele.
(I've actually got one, they are probably the most ridiculous instrument in human history. A meeting of the best engineering and craftwor., The end result having the worst features of both banjos and ukuleles. I'm guessing me dad found it in a charity shop. Has been desperately in need of repair for decades, this might be motivation for me to get around to it. Also the mandolin sharing the same cardboard box I got from a car boot sale years back, which had no back and a broken front, which I did resurrect - so badly it has needed gluing back together since a week after my fix- accursed kerfs!).
How does it feel?
