I am doing an essay for uni on prolific electronic instruments and wanted to do it on the CR-78. So far I have...

Blondie- heart of glass, atomic
Elton John- little Jeanie, song for guy
Gary Newman- remind me to smile
Genesis- man on the corner, duchess
Hall & Oats- I can’t go for that
John Foxx- burning car
Maze- joy and pain
Mike Oldfield- Indian lake
Orchestral manoeuvres in the dark- enola gay
Phil Collins- in the air tonight, tomorrow never knows, hand in hand
Radiohead- the numbers (live), present tense (live)
Roxy music- same old scene
Ultravox- vienna

If anybody knows anymore that'd be awesome. Also I'd love some used after the 70s/80s.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah that was a great song. Confused the hell out of most people when it charted.

I believe this was a PAiA rather than a CR-78, though it does sound as though could easily have been the Roland.

I did not know that - and I still play that album quite often, mostly for my fourth-graders. I love the CR78, and I mostly think of Ultravox’s Hiroshima Mon Amor when I try to replicate it. John Foxx is an icon. But Tony Mansfield is, as well, in my book.

Soft Cell, Tainted Love.
