Same for me, although I bought the 12", and didn't get the album till a little while later.

The crazy thing about 'The Tube' was that it went out at after-shcool, tea-time hours (Before 'Monkey', if I remember correctly :D ), and all songs were performed live. Considering these performances were not the clean-cut, BBC, TOTP fayre, it's amazing that it managed to ever get to series five. It took Jools swearing to finally end it, but where were the prudes when Holly Johnson cavorted with a lingerie-clad model, at 4pm in the afternoon? :scared:

'A Secret Wish', 'Pleasuredome', and 'In Visible Silence' were like the holy trinity. I didn't make the ZTT connection till quite a while later, but the specific sound they shared just completely grabbed hold of me.

Ended up finding it isolated on 'Owner of a Lonely Heart'... doh. From 'Kool is Back' by Funk Inc!

Oh yes that drumbreak. I guess this was one of the first time a pop song used a drumbreak sample from another production. can someone with insight confirm? (I'm not talking about single shot drums as the kick and snare from Led Zeppelin 'when he levee breaks' )

It's one for another thread, but early rap and hip hop were freely using all sorts long before Art Of Noise... interesting question about the tech though, who was using samplers vs tape loops or vinyl. Always been in awe of the skills of those early DJs.

Fun thoughts... must be a thread on this somewhere already...

Didn't he do an album with them playing bass? Tormato, I think?
Both Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes fresh off their Buggles album joined Yes on their Drama album as they had no keyboard player and John Anderson had abruptly left. The album and tour was as long as that lineup lasted, and Yes was "supposed" to be finished until the name was reluctantly revived for the 90125 album. The Chris Squire/Tervor Rabin project was called Cinema until they brought Jon Anderson in and the label went "hey it's a large portion of former Yes-men, call it Yes it will sell more albums!" And Squire still being friends with Horn brought him in to produce.

Does anyone know the story behind that sample? Who’s voice is it? Any processing? What was the context of its original creation?
It supposedly comes from the 90125 Yes track "Leave it" as a vocal sample used in the opening sequenced acapella part. Probably who ever had the deepest voice was sampled. (possibly even Horn himself?) In fact they were unhappy with the original sequenced opening and thought it needed more vocals so they did more live harmony vocals on top of it.
