Never Ending Story - Instrumental cover version
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 гру 2019
- Given it's Christmas, with plenty of nostalgic films on the telly, here is a cover version of Limahl's title track to the Never Ending Story.
It's not intended to be a one-to-one copy, so whilst I've recreated most of the instrumental lines from the original and used some of the same sounds, I've also added some of my own. Loaded with plenty of modulating FX from that era to give it that mid-80's gooey sound.
The full track starts around 3:18. Enjoy!
Quite simply - This is the best version of the song that I’ve ever heard (across both official and unofficial). Pure heaven.
Me too!
yes it is
Put your headphones and close your eyes, it sounds magical. Amazing!!
I can verify, sounds awesome in headphones!
@@martinmcginn8266 Especially I love 1:07 amazing
Sounds even better with mushrooms
The stuff of dreams. Up there with "Somewhere Over The Rainbow". Giorgio, you are a god!
Wow! Awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amazing,awsome, I´ve got no words to explain how I feel when I´m listening to this .
Heavenly track... thank you inviting us to that journey!
This is truly sublime - as with your West End Girls cover, it's a great example of that magic, sizzling, soaring 80s production sound that's created when relatively simple individual sounds from those classic synths and samplers are blended together with high quality rev and delay and just a hint of compression across it all. A far cry from the "compressors and reverbs on every channel" DAW frenzy of today, and a timely reminder of the delicious power of simplicity and quality.
Also a painful reminder that I sold my beloved JX10 20 years ago on a whim because I never got over its poor MIDI IN timing... ludicrous as I only used it for those luscious pads anyway... that soft pad here is delightful. Oh, and that's one gorgeous pimped up Pro-One!
Beautiful job, thanks for posting.
Thanks for your thoughtful and considered comment David. It made putting the video together (which is not my forte) worthwhile! I enjoy doing these covers from time to time and trying to limit myself to the constraints of the period i.e. 24 or less main tracks, using the DAW more as a tape machine and traditional mixer and try to use my old hardware FX as much as possible.
Re. the JX, it's one of my favourite pieces and I really don't understand the negative views it generates on some well known synth sites. Yes, I'd love it to have snapper envelopes but I love the way the core sound sits in a mix and now that I've got the PWM mod and new OS / Flash memory installed, it really is a formidable poly. I've had mine for 25 years, during which a lot of others have come and gone and it has featured in some way on most things I've done.
The Pro-One is actually my brothers! He fabricated the wooden case for it himself and used the keyboard and wheels panel from a broken Ensoniq ESQ-1 to replace the no-so-good j-wire keyboard. It does look the part and works so much better than before.
EstuaryMists Pleasure - your efforts are definitely appreciated, these videos are really important curated gems of that era of production technology... and will hopefully inform and inspire a whole new generation of synth heads to love and explore the kit and techniques that we take for granted.
Really impressive that it's a DIY refit of the Pro-One - he's done a cracking job on it.
Re the JX, I think it just always suffered from a frustrating lack of immediacy compared to the JP-8 caused by removing all the dedicated controls and sliders and replacing them with the keypad and Alpha dial. If only the PG800 had been shipped as standard in the box I suspect the 10 could have surpassed its predecessor and been heralded as one of the all-time greats... but sadly most of its power went undiscovered for all but the most curious and patient of noodlers.
This is brilliant. Thanks so much for taking the time to arrange this song and for sharing it with the rest of us,
This cover version is really good , the right one to fit perfectly on this Movie , is so emotional , i am 60 but i like so much
You're a magician !! Best Version Ever !!
So many unique parts working together to complete something beautiful.......
This is also a lesson for life. When we work together, sharing our unique gifts, the world will become a beautiful place.
So powerful and melodic sound......very beautiful !!!!!!!!!!
GENIAL!!! Excelenteeee trabajo maestro!! TODO UN HIMNO para aquellos que vivimos LA MEJOR EPOCA DE LA MUSICA BENDICIONES
Top quality. Great to listen to and very faithful to originals. You should have 100,000’s of viewers! Keep up the great work!
Best version I've ever heard. Dare I say even the original. Rich strings and the arpeggios are Brilliant. Easily the best. Thank you!
you're music expert, this song is really emotional, thank you !
Hello. Absolutely amazing !!! Not even the nothing can defeat this. Very Very well done.
Absolutely Fantastic! Nice to see you back with a new mix!
Thanks Ryan, I appreciate your comment. I'm busy with a few projects (non-cover versions) over the coming period but hope to have time to post a couple of new covers here in early 2020.
This is such a good cover! Thanks for the nostalgia!!
Thanks. I love that, that's amazing.
Really an experience to hear the individual sounds, see the equipment, and hear the final mixed song without vocals. It's really a nice song and this cover seems to be faithful to the real deal.
Amazing gave me goosebumps tysm👍🏻 better than the original
Thank you for still uploading videos! I was commenting on the other video (from 3 years ago) and see you’re still recently active! Would love to see more! Great video!

Love it! It’s amazing and so incredible.
Sounds amazing 😢😍
What a great fun...! Great place and equipment..congratulations!!!
*Dude!! This is sick!! U killed this beat👍*
Watching this being put together one element at a time was kind of like watching Bing Crosby putting together medieval instruments to make a modern piece of music in the movie A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (later emulated in the movie The Black Knight).
Excellent!
Thanks for doing this and sharing with us
YOU DID A GREAT JOB

The soundtrack of my youth.

Sounds great!
Thanks Kirk. How's the Fairlight going? Do you still have it?
@@EstuaryMists I still have it. I hauled it up to Seattle for a meetup earlier this year. I've been too busy with non-music stuff to do much more. If you're ever in Portlandia, let me know!
I replaced the PSU on my EII with a Meanwell TC-60, I think. They don't make that model of PSU, but they have something similar. I put a HxC in my EII, which works perfectly as the Meanwell didn't have the right voltage to run a floppy. So no floppy, but it runs great with the HxC. I got one of the first 10 of JB Emond's HxC kits for the Fairlight. Are you still running stock on your SIII? Are you on the Fairlight facebooks group?
When the riff is this good ..the hard part is finding someone to sing it 😏
Top work
Very nice¡¡ the sound is fantastic jx-10
Very good!!!👼
Wow Bro, this is Awesome Track , wow ....
Boyond awesome!!!)))
I'm 12 again..and i'm back in the days at the premiere of NEVERENDING STORY in the cinema))))
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
That's some serious equipment.
Amazing, greetings from Czech republic....
👍👍👍
Nice!!!
WOW 🤩
Someone give this man a Jupiter 8
He's already got a Fairlight and a LARC. Are you trying to insult him? lol
@@Alex-bc7qi Quite the opposite. His stuff is sublime. Only said that because the original track had loads and loads of JP-8 on it, which is what Moroder used extensively at this time ('82-'85 roughly)
Wow 👌
Great arpeggio man!
I would love a download of the fully mixed track, if it's possible? Great work
wow.wery good joob,and the graphic is wanderful
Very nice.
Hi thanks for your brilliant work. Could I ask if you could license this cover version to me as I'd like to use it in my videos (full credits and link to your channel would be provided)? Many thanks.
Just plain awesome!! Could you do a cover of Always on my mind by the Pet shop boys in the future?
You have checked the video’s on the channel? There’s an almost perfect rendition of that song...
RW:Beautiful
excelente
Very very nice :-)
Your version sounds awesome, congratulations for the work! Would it be possible to have an mp3? I would love to sing on it. 😃💜
🔥🔥🔥
Amazing, Congrats, very well done! Stunning equipment and sound! Similar in time i did a remix for Giorgio on the same song. I´m also still working with vintage studio equipment. My reverb is a Lexicon 300 and my Fairlight III Keyboard i used for Midi input signals. The Bass is from a Waldorf Pulse, Pads Roland JD990 and the sequence from a Juno 60. Vocals original "Limahl". You can find my Remix on UA-cam search "Marko Bussian".
Great my friend
COSMIC👍
QUE MARAVILLA LO QUE HACES. BUEN TRABAJO. ES IMPRESIONANTE EL CONOCIMIENTO QUE TIENES¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
