Trans-X – Living on Video

But the equipment list for 'Message' is quite formidable - Roland Jupiter 4, Jupiter 6, CSQ600 and TR808, Korg VC10 vocoder and Polysix, Oberheim OB8, DMX and DSX, Elka Synthex, guitars, Simmons kit and Mattel drums. And as you may have spotted during the Trans X single's recent heavy airplay, there's also a bit of Casio VL-Tone on 'Living On Video', and elsewhere. For his own part, Languirand is at pains to point out that this is really a Jupiter 4, but anyone who's suffered the VL1's built-in Austrian Folk Tune a few hundred times can usually spot one a mile off... I know I could.

All the album's lead vocal credits go to Languirand, with Laura filling in with a few Continental-sounding interjections. And her voice is still on the single, despite the fact that she's left the band. 'I didn't make a lot of changes when I remixed 'Living On Video' earlier this year', explains Languirand. 'The main ones were to thicken up the lead vocals with a little bit of ADT, and to change the drum parts. Originally they were recorded with a TR808, but the studio has bought a LinnDrum since then, so I overdubbed some of the percussion.
