  • Talking Heads classic "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)" shows off synthesizers heavily, but it was recorded and performed completely using a single keyboard: the Prophet 5. William Kurk is here to run through the grooves in our studio (using the Prophet 6) to help you feel right at home when you experiment with the #SynthSounds of...Talking Heads.

    Love how accurate you got the synth sounds. I've seen covers that forget that little drag at the end of the note

    Great job breaking down the sounds of that song. I actually thought for one of the leads it was a electric guitar being manipulated to make that kind of noise (I'm sure it's possible that it can be done). One thing you missed was the drum part, what did you use to replicate the beat?
