Wakajawaka is just a classic...period.
Had Sal Marquez in our postal van after a show. He told us if Frank ever caught him he`d be fired....I told him not to worry and to pass it over.

Great story. My brother and I were both serious horn players back in the day and we both idolized Sal.

More 70's goodness for the rhytmically challenged

Le Orme - Aliante

Generation X - From the heart

Sparks - This town ain't big enough for the both of us

Zappa had a deep hatred for postal vans?

Three of my favourite bass players

Chris Squire, powerful and complex

JJ Burnel, tight and melodic

Mick Karn, fluid and smooth

Hard choice but from my many favorite songs those 3 stand out for me:

Genesis - Fading Lights:

In this Tony Banks seems to play a Korg Wavestatiopm most of the time (still used it Live in 2007).
The Lead sound used in the first part and also later seems to be a slightly modified factory preset called "Mini Lead" (Performance 04 in the ROM bank of my Wavestation EX).

Tangerine Dream - Kiev Mission:

original version:

Also a huge Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze fan here (RIP Edgar Froese...).

Iron Maiden - The Clansman :

Back in the 90s up to the beginning of the 2000s i listened much more to Hard Rock and Metal than i do today and around the last 10 years...
This was also due my mother was working in a promotion/managment company for rock, hard rock and metal bands and i got lots of free CDs and also some free concert tickets there (Iron Maiden was one of those bands...).

Tony Banks stuck with his synths

Live in '87 he still uses Arp Quadra, seeing how much stick that synth has got for being fragile like porcelain, it is amazing that it has survived all the gigs Genesis have done

concerning ARP quadra i had pericipated in the factory presets of the Quadra kontakt instrument by Synth Magic:
http://www.synthmagic.co.uk/sounds-of-the-quadra.html

Due to some great scipting this offers an interface like the original synth (and some more).
Jean Michel Jarre seemed to have replaced his broken Quadra with this Kontakt library/instrument.

Also got the Wayoutware TimewARP 2600 plugin since several years.

In the 70s Tony Banks mostly used an ARP Pro Soloist (i also got a Kontakt library of that) and the mor sophisticated ARP 2600 synth. Later both seemed to be replaced with the Quadra , at least for Live use.

Synth instrumentals that for some reason or other got to be quite big hits, then got on peoples nerves, but in hindsight are not that bad really:

70's - Popcorn:

80's - Axel F:

90's - Swamp Thing:
