i have to agree with ishkur here, he is right 100 percent. If baker did sample trans europe express, its clear that he did use numbers as a template. If you listen to numbers you can see that the rimshots and breakbeat are the same as planet rock.

i do disagree with ishkur's tone however, you clearly are very knowlegable stevie and do not deserve to be cursed at in this manner

edit: lol @ cars by gary newman .. :D

also the works of japanese producers should be taken into consideration "yellow magic orchestra"

"One of the earliest uses of the TR-808 for a live performance was by Yellow Magic Orchestra in December 1980, in the song "1000 Knives", composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto in 1978. The "Hand Clap" sound was later publicized by YMO's innovative album BGM released in March 1981 in Japan, used on "1000 Knives" as well as in another of Sakamoto's songs, "Music Plans".

although this track was first released in 1981, it was produced during the same year that the tr-808 was put out on the market. Very electro sounding. The breakbeat is a bit less catchy (unlike numbers) but the track complexity exceeds that of the works of both numbers and planet rock. I would say this is electro due to the break beaty style, rim shots and ambience. not the typical freestyle electro, but more experimental and variant.

how about this guy Giorgio Moroder with his track, E=mc2? cant remember when this came out, but sure it was the first ever sequenced record. This is the guy who produced the Donna Summer track, I feel love.

Yeh that's possible Chris, E=mc2 was out in 1979. Maybe this can be considered Disco tho'?

btw I didn't know you were from Scotland, congrats on your success - got loads of your productions and i've been playing Changes like mad since I got it :D
chrislake
cheers mate

Yeah, i think the track is extremely electro sounding, but sometimes defining is up to personal interpretation

re- Scotland. Yeah, lived here for nearly 10 years now! kinda get used to it! :)

First of all it's a coincedence that Planet Rock sounds like Numbers.


Hold it right in' there. No, no, no. Just, no. You fail at logic. You fail at common sense. Rewind. That statement just there is a goddamn disgrace to mankind.

It's like talking to a brick wall around here...
