Something key is that for the 16th note repeating synth sound pattern, the tone or note that is playing changes subtly up or down OR a background sound changes which makes it feel like the note is changing. It is a key to the songs magic and often left off on covers or even live by the band themselves. It can be heard most clearly during the intro. The filter changes during the sound also which may be what makes it sound like the note is going up and down. I would love to hear the original part isolated.
Guys, I do not have a musical bone in my body (although I was an IT consultant at Zomba Records in the 90's) but these deconstructions of 70/80/90s tracks are gold dust! I am in my 60's so can relate to all of them and this one really hits home. I am from Leeds so the end of the 70s, early 80s was Yorkshire Ripper time, so why is 'Don't you want me' significant? Because when he was caught in January 81 the DJ at Foxes nightclub played it every other track for most of the night. Anyone can dance/sing to this and after years of the DJ bringing the lights up at 2:15am and saying "Ladies, remember the man you are with could be The Ripper - do not go home alone", when this was played the Saturday after he was caught brings back so many good memories. Keep deconstructing!!!
This was incredibly well done, your sounds are spot on! wow. I have re made this song using Jupiter 4 sounds as used in the original but this was so good!
The part you refered to at 3.42 was just the Arp, there is another part to this song that you missed out and that is the funky gated synth triggered by a guitar which is the one your mate was talking about, i'm currently doing my own versions of all the tracks on the Dare album and this is the one song where i can actually listen to each track individually as the stems are available, it's a masterpiece, so busy, so many little bits and bobs going on, Martin Rushent was a bloody genius 👍 great video lads, a good watch 👍😄
Still watching in 2022, The creativity in that track still holds a great big lantern to many dance and electronic music produced to this day. Iam sure it influenced many across all types of dance,and could well have had a big hand in the early Chicago house scene.
Totally amazing FFL i missed again... Guys, thank you for all those unvaluable moments, Merry Christmas to you too! (being as much drunk as you were here) I LOVE YOU ;D Serious mode on: Make an FFL every opened day = big success
OMG!!!!! I love you SOOO much for doing this!! 😍 Thank youuu!! I don't even know you, but I wish I was your cousin or brother to be able to say "someone related to me actually did this video"!!!! 😆 Fucking master stuff in here...! I just can't stop watching the whole thing over and over, and trying to learn from it... So pleasing!!!! 🤩 *UA-cam programmers: please, give me a BIGGER 'thumbs up' sign to congratulate these lads. Keep at it, guys; People like you make many of us have one more reason to put TV aside from our lives 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I've just found this video - nicely done, guys! I must add that those drum sounds aren't quite right, even though the patterns are. You say that's a NI Battery Linn kit? The kick, snare and toms don't sound like the LM-1, even though they're in the same ballpark. There's some awesome free TRUE LM-1 samples out there, and I myself would've used those for more authenticity. Still, it takes nothing away from your pretty damn good dissecting and reassembling of the song.
I agree with Phil Oakey. The Overall sound the Dare album is quite dark but this song is a bit of an odd one on the album. I am bit curious to how the dark version of the song would have sounded like. It be cool if a version of that still exists in Virgin’s archive somewhere and get released. I can see why the record company decided to go with the lighter version as it became a big hit. But still a bit out of place on an otherwise darkish album.
well, i for one feel the christmess when i listen to the words. ;) quite a dark track indeed. also THANKS for the excellent deconstruction. classic track
Always amazes me on how the separate components sound like nothing and then when combined there is complete magic...did they use a Jupiter 8 on the original for the pads and stab sounds?
Would love to hear the darker version too as this was my least favourite dare track.interesting to hear the funky guitar sound was in fact two separate sounds as I always wondered how they got that sound when no guitar is listed on the album.
This is brilliant! The only constructive criticism I would make is that the 5th on the Odyssey part on the choruses is too loud in relation to the main note.
Hi, Point Blank School. This is not the first time i find the links in the description are dead. Could you make some legacy Google Drive/Dropbox folder with the project files or other great content these links once provided? These songs and their recreators deserve it!

2nd! yayyy!
merry christmas!
This was incredibly well done, your sounds are spot on! wow. I have re made this song using Jupiter 4 sounds as used in the original but this was so good!
I would love a deconstruction of the legendary "Human" when they all fell out with Jam and Lewis or an indepth look into " The sound of the crowd "
sound of the crowd!
Wow, this is really good with a real accurate replica. Surprised you missed the brass stabs though. Looking forward to watching more of these vids.

Where did you find the stems? Can't find them
@@roelvanoosterhout624 I forgot where I found them but I know I have them

Ski, you are a bloody legend...And at 21:16, there in lies the gold for all times!
Merry Christmas, and thanks for the great FFLs this year
This is awesome, great job!!
thanks for written notes, screen right. really helps. there is more in this song than i imaginrd, great stuff
Woo-hoo! Merry Christmas, Point Blank! Thanks for being awesome. :D
Woooowww I love it
I'd really enjoy seeing the deconstruction of another Christmas song - Always on my mind by Pet Shop Boys.
very nice deconstruction guys. Happy Holidays !
I love watching you recreate songs and I love this song.. You should try (Keep Feeling) Fascination!
+Dylan Cataldo Tune!
+Point Blank Music School what about caveman head? :)
Totally amazing FFL i missed again...
Guys, thank you for all those unvaluable moments, Merry Christmas to you too!
(being as much drunk as you were here) I LOVE YOU ;D
Serious mode on:
Make an FFL every opened day = big success
The party's on
The feelin's here

This time of year

This is great. Released 40 years ago TODAY! 📣
Nice one guys, really good! That new ARP and Push are sexy as hell. Merry Christmas!

well, i for one feel the christmess when i listen to the words. ;) quite a dark track indeed. also THANKS for the excellent deconstruction. classic track
i believe you forgot the bright stabbing synth chords coming in the second part of the verse. great anyway! love it
Glad you liked it. Yeah, I also forgot the chugging synth in the chorus!
Amazing job! You make it look easy! Could you do Sweet Dreams sometime please? I want to see someone actually re-create that amazing dual bass line...
+Pete Hughes Great shout!
@@pointblankmusicschool Great deconstruction! +1 for Sweet Dreeams and when you have done that could you do Donna Summer's I feel love?
Great video. Great song. And merry xmas to all at PB.
Excellent Deconstruction!! I know you used the Arp Odyssey for the pads. How did you create that 16th pluck sound and the drums?
WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY, WHYYYYYYYYYYYY THE HELL HAS A S.O.A B. DISLIKED THIS GREAT JOB!?
I really enjoyed that. I'd love to see a Love Action deconstruction.
that's beyond Ableton capabilities
Always amazes me on how the separate components sound like nothing and then when combined there is complete magic...did they use a Jupiter 8 on the original for the pads and stab sounds?
I believe they used a Jupiter 6
Would love to hear the darker version too as this was my least favourite dare track.interesting to hear the funky guitar sound was in fact two separate sounds as I always wondered how they got that sound when no guitar is listed on the album.
Totally Amazing!!...☺
BEST CHANNEL EVER
Could a prince track be soon? His drum patterns and pads were just incredible
This is brilliant! The only constructive criticism I would make is that the 5th on the Odyssey part on the choruses is too loud in relation to the main note.
Oh and there's a synth brass type sound on the second half of the verses too.
Well done!
Very Cool! On a completely unrelated note, how do you get those spaces between the icons in your dock?
+TheRealWinsletFan github.com/saada/OSX-Dock-Spaces
Thank you!
Classic track very intresting ,
You guys should do Heaven 17 - Temptation next !
Merry Xmas
You think they could make one for "Doctor Doctor?"
It is until now I see that 16th note guitar part sounds very much like the one used in the Knight Rider theme.
awesome guys! love these vids, thank you:-)
Merry Christmass
excellente
What about a Deconstruction for David Sylvian's JAPAN?
Hi, Point Blank School. This is not the first time i find the links in the description are dead. Could you make some legacy Google Drive/Dropbox folder with the project files or other great content these links once provided? These songs and their recreators deserve it!
hey! did you ever find this project file?
@@MrSammyTeee Sadly not.
🎼💚💪 💔🥲🙋♂️ love this Nath 1969 xx
I watched the whole thing waiting for the synth stabs in the second part of the chorus and they weren't there! Still good.
+TheNightBadger sorry man.. forgot those in the heat of the moment.. it was the fire
best bit
I was specifically listening out for that section. Never mind. Still a great job
which vst did you use for the pad type sound?
It would of course hit #1 in the states during the summer of 1982.
I have the combo Dare/Love and Dancing CD and its awesome!
A classic!
Love and Dancing practically invented the remix, stripping it all down so we could hear all the parts.
Ah you guys found that secret chord in the second bridge!!!
can someone point out what app/software Ski uses to show keys on the screen ? +Point Blank Music School
what is your midi keyboard connected to please? do you use push on one midi channel and the kb on another?
+Point Blank Music School
Hey Guys;
i had a question, can you deconstruct some stephan bodzin track pls ;)
What pad was used at 6:34??
Amazing... loving the Push..
Please do a deconstruction of DNCE's, "Cake By The Ocean."
16:34 you don’t play sixteenth notes. 😉✌🏻
Declan's nose is red like rudolph in this video
Sorry Bohemian Rhapsody is the greatest Christmas No 1 of all time (two times over). But it doesn't have any synths! :)
nice green screen
Come on, dig deeper.......'Dreams of Leaving'.
haha.....nice
human league only made one great song and that was "being boiled" - just saying :)
