Pet Shop Boys "I Get Excited"

- PSB’s “I Get Excited” recreated from an original Fairlight sequence.
The structure seems to be an interim between the 1984 Bobby Orlando version and the 1988 Heart B-side version. The synth elements from the 1984 version that were lost from the 1988 version are present, however there is also the key change that features in the latter version.
To make it sound closer to the 1988 version, the pad parts in the bridges were also sent to a Roland D-550 (Digital Native Dance) and I added the TR-727 patterns (not in the original sequence). With the exception of Digital Native Dance, all sounds are from the Fairlight III, including the EII Marcato strings used for the pad.

One of my top favourite instrumental covers of a Pet Shop Boys song
What a fantastic machine!
I'm in Fairlight heaven.
I’m singing along to this wonderful cover!
Excelente PET shop boys
Outstanding production! This is truly a cover version which fully grasps the musical essence of the original and even outperforms the original.
Sorry meant what a machine
Awesome!! Absolutely love the Fairlight - it always blew my mind what could be done with it at the time. And its still amazing now. Plus, this is my all time fave Pet Shop Boys B-Side! Thanks for setting this up and sharing.
You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I love it!
Brilliant! Simply Brilliant!
Sweet ❤
The fairlight cmi what am machine great track as well
I think I prefer this to the 88 version, really good upbeat feel to it throughout.
Fairlight Cmi, fantastic!
After 32 years being a fan and hearing various covers of their songs, I'm going to go on record and say this is better than both the '84 and '88 versions. '84 was too light/empty (as was the rework used in the recent tour), and the '88 version seemed a little over produced. This is just right and probably what they had in mind all those years ago :) Well done!
@ kdc1174...Cool...I've never heard any covers, but since I've been a Pet Shop Boys fan since 1985, U probably have the same ear for them as I do, so I just might, if not agree this is their best cover !! Also, this is just keyboards, so how do U rank this and their vocal covers ?? Sorry, don't mean to ask too much :):)
Lo l what you call overproduced is guys who made synthesizers sound good. Wake up, and this is way more artificial over even the 83"version.. Yes those Bobby o demos were from an 83 tape. Do you know anything lol?
looks like the original version of BOBBY ORLANDO.
thanks
I used amiga 500. And startrekker. In the 90's. Alot of samples i got from a Friend.
What's Startrekker?
i remember seeing the PSB Fairlight for sale on ebay.
LOL - whaaaaat?!! 🙀 When was this? And how much did it go for, if I may ask? I wonder who won the auction.
excelente
First few bars I keep thinking it's going to be One More Chance
Great
Really nice stuff
Damn, I miss my Roland D-50. Nice work!
Try Roland Cloud subscription.
@@pedrocarvalho4999 I subscribed as soon as I found out about it a year ago lol
@@MarketingWithTim they're awesome.
Just a JP-8000 and V-Synth GT short of perfection...
У этого fairlight аналоговые фильтры? Как на emulator II? Звучит он жестковато.
This sounds bloody good if you don't mind me saying.
I have forgotten This song and by coincidence I found it licensing to Danish radio dj Kim Schumacher realicing its from 1988ten I have
forgoten this song and by coincident found it at the time I tought It was a new
track from PSB but no I have been licining to this all my life have forgoten
this song and by coincident found it I LOVE it
It's very Amigaish music wow 😁
exclente
Great work! (again!) :)
I like all your work, you got any more :-)
La melodía me recuerda a 'song for great cities' de Simple Minds.
Pretty authentic sound there mate......I know sod all about synth gear but I imagine the Fairlight was ultra high tec, space age gear at the time.
The one I saw once actually had a bloody key to start it !! 😆
The Fairlight was around the same price as a decent semidetached house in an affluent county. It was the absolute nuts and although technology superseded it you could do anything on it with music from now as you could then, although much slower.
Bands tended to hire a Fairlight and programmer, such as Blue Weaver etc rather than own one, they were way too expensive.
@@eddherring4972 Andy Richards did their Fairlight programming. What a tech whiz! 😻
brill
Fab. If you did a version with vocals, even better.
RussianBlue I would be able to sing on it
If I could have the instrumental to sing a long with!!! You’ll be surprised ;)
Amazing!! Just to get it clear...is this a re-interpretation made by you or a rescued version originally programmed by the PSB themselves?? (it´s great anyway, but I want to get it clear!!) thanks a million!!
Wow I just say that
Not really I think you made an excellent work on this cover
To have the Fairlight is amazing
Good job 👏
How did you do those vocal ahh ahh ah arrr are orhhh bits ? Was super
Hey buddy! I came back once again to listen to your amazing cover! Is there any chance I can use this rendition in one of my videos? I'd credit you of course and share the link to your UA-cam channel if you allow me to do that ;)
Marvellous!!! Let me get this right: This is not a "cover", but a real Fairlight sequence made by the Boys and what we hear is (almost) all the original sounds they choosed and used, right?
For clarity, the sequence file is original (that's why I show the config information at the start of the video) but the sounds are of my choosing because I don't have the accompanying system file that would show the actual sounds used. I chose sounds that I thought were either the same or similar to those used in the versions of the song that I have.
@@EstuaryMists Thanks a lot for the clarification! Most of the sounds really sound like what must have been the actual stuff used! Even the "Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Oohh" sound is not an actual Neil Tennant sample but some (Emulator II?) library sound'?? It really sounds like a Neil sample!
@@EstuaryMists wow, most of the sounds are actually pretty close to the original... I was also going to ask about the 'Ah-ah-ah-ah-ooh' bit... I always thought that was a Neil's voice sampled... it's just a preset sound on the Fairlight CMI III?
@@EstuaryMists love this.
@@Pacaloand @Melodic_Alchemy
@gkeaoyrge said (in another comment on this page):
_To my knowledge, the sample was created using the voices of Neil, Wendy Smith from Prefab Sprout and Pavarotti._
Me: I would love to know how such a blended sample was made exactly, haha! 😸
best
So you actually tracked this out from a Fairlight? How are people getting their hands on these original Pet Shop boys Page R seqences...
The band have sold their old Fairlight (there have been stories about one going up for auction); maybe the disks were in the box along with the Fairlight. Or maybe someone they called in to repair stuff or otherwise assist in the studio decided to covertly smuggle out the data.
How the hell can we get hold of those Fairlight 3 Samples?
Everyone is raving about the Fairlight 2 - which was crap in comparison.
I would love that thing....by the way - this is a great demo - never heard this until now...and I have collected everything within reach for 30 years....LCQ is on here somewhere - Fairlight 2 version...
Hey man, this is outstanding! Loved every second of your version. You say all sounds come from a Fairlight III. Any chance you would tell which is the name of the sample for that vocal kind of sound played in the chorus? (it sounds close to the "Heart" lead sound). The sound that starts at 1:05
If you look closely on the Fairlight monitor, you can see third row up from the bottom next to the letter 'N', the instrument is called _PSBHeartLe._ Presumably 'Le' is short for lead. Unless the sample has been renamed by the creator of this video, I suspect like you that the session was created using bits from the Heart session.
To my knowledge, the sample was created using the voices of Neil, Wendy Smith from Prefab Sprout and Pavarotti.
Hope that helps!
@@gkeaoyrge hey there! Thank you for answering. Yeah, I saw that. But how on earth could I replicate that sound? haha seems almost impossible. I would love to get my hands on the original sample.
@@rj8mp Haha yes I'm with you on that. If the creator of this video could play back a portion of the lead sound on its own from the Cubase multitrack project then of course an original sample could easily be obtained from there.
As I'm sure you have too, I've spent many hours listening to various remixes and demos of Heart hoping to hear the sound in isolation but to no avail.
@@gkeaoyrge yes, I did exactly the same thing haha with no luck either. If i have my hands on that sample I will let you know ;)
@@rj8mp Haha. Cheers mate, as will I! :)
Great Cover again!! What's the voice name of the Brass in the Fairlight? I assume the 88' female background vocals, electric-guitar-solo and vocoder-voices are missing within the samples...
Thanks. The brass I used is Brass01.vc or BrassII.vc (they're both the same and were used in quite a few PSB songs of that era). Just to clarify, I only had the sequence file for this, not the voice (sample) files, so just had to match sounds as I thought would fit.
I think I have those sounds...but no sequences
@@EstuaryMists Can I ask where you got the sequence file from?? 😯
2:06 onwards :-)
bobby o
Davis Custodio soooo Bobby O must have been waiting around to use it. I wonder why they didn't think it would chart and chart well?
Edd Herring a música original e produção de bobby Orlando ok
is most of this possible to download as plugins?
bobby o music prodoctions
"Go West" please?
Have Dm used fairlights ?
You mean Depeche Mode? No, they used Fairlight's rival: Synclavier and a lot of Emulator II.
