Just shows how good that track is when you can listen to that hook over and over and it still bangs.

[FG-Supercharged]

It's amazing how many nuances that can be found in a song that you just never notice, and probably never will have, until someone like the Doctor diligently does the surgery. Just mind-boggling. I just absolutely love this tear-down!

[WouterB]

Claudio is right, you could actually listen to this amazing track for a very long time.
It's still that good after all those years.
Great job!

[vinnyveritas]

I never realized how well constructed sonically and musically this song was until I saw you reconstruct it.
I knew and enjoyed the song but never perceived all the details that contribute to make it what it is.

I think this track more than any other got me hooked on synth music as a child. Still sounds fantastic

[furiobisotti]

Really impressive. Of course the hardest thing to emulate would be Annie's voice...

[macdaddybender]

I've said it before, Claudio. Your love and enjoyment of these classic tracks is infectious. So much respect to Dave and Annie for producing such an epic track with fairly limited resources. It's amazing

[cjshardcorepunkmusicvault]

Doing something like this is absolutely insanely hard. As you show it is just using your ear and understanding where the sounds lie in the tonal spectrum. It is an impressive feat.

[julian_b]

No quantising, no pro-tools, no plug-ins and generally pretty primitive technology. It makes you realise the amount of work and imagination that went into the original. And then to top it all, the extraordinary voice of Annie Lennox.

[AlphaConatus]

One of my favorite songs, really changed music back in the day.

[pastense]

Brilliant recreation! While each part is spot on, I can still hear the unmatched warmth and grit of all the analog sonics in the original. It also allows you to admire that Stewart and Lennox weren’t necessarily ‘looking’ for these exact sounds. They were simply using the tools available to them and created pure magic! I just noticed the Donna Summer vid. Would love to see more Giorgio Moroder!

So many times I've screamed at these awesome reconstruction videos, shouting "just compress the hell out of it!!" and "EQ it a bit more!" or "where did the piano go!?" forgetting I could never accomplish such greatness. Well done Claudio and crew. So many of these early synth hits relied upon heavy processing otherwise it would just sound like a Bontempi organ🙂That Oxford Infiltrator is super-cool and don't forget the mastering considerations that made songs like this leap out of FM radio back in the day when pumped through an OptiMod

Wonderful recreation - as a budding electronic musician back then it struck me that Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart were incredibly generous in sharing how they worked, often in makeshift conditions, but despite all of that the output was incredible.

They did multiple interviews - I remember One, Two, Testing magazine - my bible at the time, had many articles featuring them that were rivetting, informing and insparational.

Well done for creating such a fine version of a masterpiece.

This track will go on for generations - and your video is pretty awesome too!

Love Eurythmics, Dave Stewart is a synth god, along with Annie Lennox beautiful vocals, this piece epitomises the music of the 80s. Every time I hear this piece it takes me straight back to my clubbing days, much like millions of us I’d guess. Who says time travels impossible? 😆 Within seconds of the first beat the dance floors were full. Great music, great memories. You guys amaze me. Positive it’s much easier making the original than trying to accurately reconstruct it later. Impressive work guys, all thats missing are those fabulous Annie Lennox vocals, probably even more difficult to reconstruct accurately. Sounds like a challenge😅 Brilliant video guys.

[hunta]

This might be the best reconstruction video you've ever done. Amazing and I am just loving the collaboration!

[onushnq]

I live 5mins from Ellon Aberdeenshire where Annie grew up. One of the best voices ever to come out of Scotland!

[RobGem]

Be great if you did a reconstruction of sounds like a melody by AlphaVille especially the newer remastered version. I did love your channel keep up the great work.

[sargepent]

Amazing that not only is this a tinless riff, but the number of layers and effects to make the magic happen

[moreorlessme]

The two of you guys have personalities that balance each other out perfectly. Fun to watch. Thanks gentlemen!

[inertGas]

Amazing, really enjoyed the whole process that we saw! well done Dr Mix and team
