Harold Faltermayer recently did an interview and explained that the album was produced mostly using the Synclavier. The analog synths were sampled into the Synclavier which gives the sound of this album it's unique sound.
That's why I found it important to mention him in this video. Also thanks to this collaboration the PSB was part of Electronic with Bernard Summer (New Order).
@@graemeking7336 Most of the time when people write / say "underrated", they actually mean underappreciated. 9 times out of 10 the thing they are talking about is already highly regarded, but not widely known about.
This is my favourite album of all time by my favourite band of all time. Thank you for this video, I especially love the deep dive regarding the synths used! However I had to point out a mistake you made near the middle when you said that Jealousy had its roots in 1982 and Nervously in 1980; Neil Tennant has said before that Jealousy was the first track they ever wrote together, so that means Nervously was written later. Or maybe you meant that just the meaning of Neevously’s lyrics originated from an earlier period? Other than that, as I sais earlier, amazing work on this video!!
Es necesario un GRAMMY para los Pet Shop Boys, uno de los pocos grupos que ha creado letras exquisitas con temas históricos, políticos, literarios y artísticos. «Being boring» surge de una cita de un libro de la escritora estadounidense Zelda Fitzgerald, pero también late, con melancolía electrónica, «En busca del tiempo perdido» de Proust. Asimismo, el vídeo es una obra de arte espléndida, reflejo de una belleza y juventud efímeras, que refuerza los versos de una canción sublime donde los recuerdos, la soledad y el sueño último del amor se alejan en cada estrofa recitada como un tren de ilusiones y metas alcanzadas que no volverá a pasar nunca por la misma estación.
@@AndresMoreno-gm3pn estoy de acuerdo contigo pero he notado que no siempre un Grammy premia a lo mejor de la música. Lo qué si estoy de acuerdo es en que deben ser reconocidos por todo el trabajo que han hecho a lo largo de los años. 'Being Boring' es un tema exquisito, así como el resto del disco. Saludos!
Harold Faltermeyer was also an avid user of the Yamaha DX7, especially when producing iconic soundtracks for movies like Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop, as well as working with artists such as Patti LaBelle and Bonnie Tyler. However, he maintained a significant collection of analog synthesizers from his work in the late 1970s, which is evident in footage of him collaborating with Giorgio Moroder. While some digital instruments were used during the production of the Pet Shop Boys' Behaviour album, the focus was largely on incorporating "old" hardware and analog synths.

I didn't know that part, thanks for sharing!
Do you have a link to that interview by chance?
Johnny Marr’s contribution to the album are underrated
Is it? Are they?
Underrated is overrated. Marr's work is well acknowledged@@RebeccaTurner-ny1xx

I don't think it is. He played on two tracks. I would say his contribution is...rated.

My absolute favorite album in all time !
The whole album is majestic!

@@Mylca Thanks for watching and I am glad you enjoyed this video. That is one of my favorite albums by the PSB as well.
All time fave? How interesting and hard to understand
Behaviour is the best!

Great breakdown
Thanks for watching!
Wow, I thought I know everything about PSB, but you provided a lot of new information, like the contribution of Angelo Badalamenti.
@@SenorTropiCat thank you so much for watching and I love that collaboration with Angelo Badalamenti, it adds such a refinement to this album
You make me even curious for an album that I'd otherwise NOT under any circumatances would listen to. Respect!
Thank you so much for your comment! And let me know your comments if you listen to it!
@NostalgicExplorer I will.
why not? PSB is one of the greates bands ever!
@@SenorTropiCat 🤣🤣🤣
@@Gerald_Daniel ?
and the guy in the picture appears with more than half digital gear like DX7, Oberheim DSX and a Synclavier

@@NostalgicExplorer Maybe some reverse engineering of the DX7 happened and digital oscillators (carriers/modulators were stripped of numbers. Hah
@@michael69040😆 if they didn't do it on that album I am going to apply it in my music 😂
