- I was planning originally on uploading another cover but I was recently asked if I could upload this song instead.
I focused on implementing some of the elements from the album version into this early demo/prototype of the song, which in my view is a reiteration/continuation of the sound the band had during the Trans - Europe Express days, a very elegant, mellow and romantic sound, which they lacked in the later years.
The coloured bars you can see are an adaptation the the colours used on the TRS Color Computer from the early 80's, as I was also trying to fit the Technicolor theme in a way or another.
VSTs:
E-mu Emulator I
IK Multimedia Sampletron 2
Native Instruments Reaktor
Native Instruments Kontakt
KB Polly
Vako Orchestron
This kind of sounds like, to me anyway, what the demo could have been if Ralf and Florian had confidence with what they were making and had direction when they made the demos of Techno Pop and Sex Object, since it was their uncertainty that got that version scrapped for do-overs that used then-new music hardware from what I recall being said by Karl and Wolfgang in interviews.
I do wonder though if they do have the demo versions in archive, they just don't have a need or desire to release them, since most bootleg recordings sound like the beginning is partly cut off, plus it'd be nice to get them in high quality audio after so long.
As much as I enjoy the 1983 and 1986 versions, I always thought that we lacked a transition version that combined elements from both.
@@EWormMusic I think I feel a similar deal with House Phone, though it's more similar to your shortened version of Techno Pop, where if I was covering House Phone, I'd maybe include elements from the later half of the extended version of Telephone Call so House Phone doesn't feel so empty.
But all that'd really be is just adjusting House Phone to fit in the automated error message voices from that later half of Telephone Call, since there's not much else to include.
