I’ve read somewhere that there were two very different versions of ‘Judas’ and a huge fight ensued. It was a difficult album to make at times but I think some of DM’s best work is contained on it.ĭid you ever consider releasing the different versions of ‘Judas’ as remixes? I consider ‘SOFAD’ to be the best DM album and obviously the best ‘Pop’ album ever. It’s nothing particularly unusual – just some degenerating (filtering) delays with reverb on the delays only. What is the amazing effect you used on the drums in the middle of ‘Rush’ (album version) and which you used on several songs on ‘UM’ (it sounds like a kind of weird echo)? There is also a string/choir pad (another backwards sound) playing the same chords in the background. Each chord was sampled individually and then double-tracked with a second but different guitar sound.

Those 3 notes are just amazing because they drive the lyrics and make it work perfectly : “Twoo – I’m hanging on your words – Twaa – Living on your Breath -Twee – Felling with your skin -Twee – Would I always be here…”Īffectionately known (to me anyway) as ‘Splang’ rather than ‘twoo, twaa and twee’, the sound is derived from a guitar. What is the origin of the sound for the 3 notes in the middle of the chorus of ‘In Your Room’ (LP Version)? It sounds like a mix of piano and a synth factory preset.



What’s the sound used in the first verse and at the end of ‘In Your Room’? This sound was also used in the live version of ‘Mercy In You’, in the final verse I think?
