DX5 Playing RAF “Self Control“ (Laura Branigan vers).

An excellent Italo dance anthem, composed by Raffaele Riefoli (RAF), Giancarlo Bigazzi and Steve Piccolo, covered here with the arrangements featured on Laura Branigan’s version (which includes a lot of DX7 on it). The electric guitar doesn’t fit much as on the original song; sounds a bit dimmed on the intro. I should have post produced it a bit more, but just did this on a hurry :) Gear used: Roland JP8000 (Slow attack filtered intro chords). Kurzweil PC1x (Sampled guitar, fill chords, fast attack distorted sound) Roland JX8P (filtered pad). Emu Emax 1 (Programmed bell type sound, directly sampled from my DX7, including a second layer for the extra verse). Backtrack previously recorded, track by track, on Pro Tools. Including Roland TR808 (intro drums with some random miliseconds delay) and a Yamaha DX7 for the bassline. Peformed here by DX5 Jose Maria Bara.
