What are "porn fake 80's instruments"?

[Hans25]

Sounds like Bootsy's Rubber Band meets the Edgar Winter Group!

That's something of a muddy mix .

I'm 62 going on 63 and those were the best years of my life...disco,funk,new wave, punk, and skateboarding.....it was paradise!!

I love funk/disco too. Especially late 70s/early 80s. But I also love the synth-like 80s funk-pop-breakdance genre. The pulse, dynamic, energy and rhytmic feeling in that "genre" are quite unique.

When it comes to Euro synth pop....you can't dis Tears for Fears, A-ha, Human League, Bowie, Roxie Music, and Kraftwerk.

Well now we are going off topic. Where's the porn?

You school him Hans....

Yes my mother allways told me that I had to stand up for the glory(....) 80s porn-music-like-genre.

II still think that Roland isn't quite sure why it's great instruments were great. They often seem like they were on the way of creating something lame and accidently hit great along the way. (x0x boxes, for sure) Early ROMplers could be especially cheesey considering the technology was still too expensive to be done well at a price point where most people could afford it. But artists are great at taking what they can get and making it work.

Regarding the synth development what you are saying is probably right.

About Roland the random success of their products probably also has something to do with changes within the company itself. Sometimes we forget that the people in the companies come in and go out and while some of the original content is preserved there are also a lot of changes over time due to different personnel. Some crews are just better than others but off course everyone makes mistakes even the best crews.

Roland also today makes fantastic products and horrible ones. Their electronic drums are fantastic, their keyboard, samplers, midi-stuff and workstations etc. and then there was the fake Jupiter-80 that sounded even worse than Arturia's version.

To you I say, "BOW CHICKA WOW WOW."

Thanks. I need it!

The early 80's to be more precise, the Sabrina song someone posted is terrible.

What are you talking about? This is cheap porn music synth-stuff at it's finest . And even if you dislike the instruments the song is quite good in my opinion - melody - chorus etc.

Why am I suddenly "someone". Are you suffering from memory loss? You nicknamed me "Hänschen" and now I'm jus someone in this thread .

Unbelievable. Everyone on this thread is pretending they somehow don't have access to the actual medium they are talking about through the magic box they're viewing this thread on.

Here's a hint. It's not Sabrina, or Sexercise rock, or even MJ or any other legitimate record you may have heard. Oh, they may emulate the sound, but it's not THE sound.

Google porn. Then search for vintage or retro, and try to find some from the '80's. To save time, just go with stuff from the US.

Then, pick one and and play it. Close your eyes if you must, but I'm betting you won't.

In any event, you should recognize it right away. Instrumentals with a lot of 808's on an endless loop with an M1 playing chords over it. Usually no guitars, though on those occasions where there was something resembling a budget, you will actually hear guitars and vocals.

Recent studies show that 97% of all males pleasure themselves to porn, at least occasionally. The other 3%...are liars.

I had read many posts, and didn't remember who it was that posted that Sabrina song...

No idea whether or not that song bears that label, either way I think it is horribly primitive music. Euro trash music.

I forgive you then.

Now you hurt my feelings (once more). Of course it's not Bach or Mozart but it's entertaining and as a popsong it holds maximum. It was a hit back then . I can come up with hundreds of horrible songs made in the 80s but this one holds in it's own right. And if you compare it to todays pop-songs Boys is almost as good as Mozart . Furthermore it has an ironic distance and that's something most stupid pop songs lack.

Well, it's just another world of music that I have nothing to do with. I am the opposite of eclectic, I only like a very narrow range of music, the rest is trash to me, including Mozart

"Trash" is a hard word to use. Taste is different. What is your narrow taste then?

As long back as 1994 I made a cover of Depeche Mode's Behind The Wheel on my Roland D-20 - there's a sequenzer aboard.

Anyway, some hard rock fan at the time heard it and said that it sounded like porn music.

I wasn't sure what he meant by that. If it was a reflection of the kind of movies he watched or if it was an actual statement of the music. If that good or bad?

I've not came across that sort of comments until I read thsi thread. And so, yes I'm also interested what that really means.

Maybe he was "turned on" by it.

Hm..I'm afraid that's impossible.....I was sining on it.....

Ok, a serous atempt to ansser the question.

That music is generally very simplistic and monoton. Most of the time no more then one synth have been used. I guess the DX7 and D-50 and similar synths are popular here.

Back then and later in the 90s before when minimalst-techno and ambient music was still fairly rare I believe that statement reflected music that they considered as poor.

I guess that's still what those peopel mean with it.

However..or eventually, when stated by a young person of today it might very well mean something else.

Making some sort of parallels bweten modern music of a similar style and the somewhat simplistic music of that eras porn movies.

Now, some might say that minimalist music , of varous kind, did exist even in the 80''s. Well that's true. However I do believe that those who, at that time, brought up the statement rarely heard much of that. Other then in those porn movies.

In the 80s, at least in Swedne wher eI come from, there was an ever going battle between hard rockers and those who liked synth music.

The former, who in their arguments had some support from the general musci commkunity at tha ttime. argued that synth music in generall wasn't real music. It was dry, dead, poor and to simplistic.

And so, refering to porn music form that point of view makes sense for anyoen who wanted to describe synth music as bad.

But, again, I believe young people of today don't know much about that and might therefore eventually mean something else when they refere music as 80's porn kind of music.

Hm...I think I'm saying the same thing over and over..just with other words...well I like to type
