:whistle:

secret voter...

let me know...

Lie Dream, Carry Bag Man, Bremen Nacht and Hit The North.

Those are all fake saxes except for Lie Dream aren't they - they bloody sound like it (an irrational hatred of mine...)

Bedankt.

The saxophone is kind of cool, but I guess too "modern" for my taste. It's not a classical instrument that's for sure.

Hit the north has one surely,
and if it doesnt it should have.
What Id love to see is a compilation of certain numbers in the back-catalogue, redone with Appropriate additional instruments, 3 Sax's for hit the north for Eg.

No. Simon Rogers was really honking away on a real one on those. It does sound "odd" on Hit The North, as he's often playing alongside/under the synth riff...

Well, live and learn. For me, since about 1960 the solo saxophone has been a superfluous instrument in rock music. Can't think of many songs that would suffer without it, including these ones.

I think it's just saxophone solos that are the devil's spawn.
Baker Street, Walk On The Wild Side and Careless Whisper, especially.

The mad one on Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick is corking, though.
And - sotto voce - Born To Run.
Forgive me.

Every time I hear a sax I think of the eighties...

I really should listen first but doesn't "It Was The Night" by Robyn Hitchcock have a sax in it quite prominently?

That's odd.
Every time I hear a bell ring I want to eat dog food.
And every time I eat a petite madeleine dunked in tea, I want to spend three years in bed writing a 3,000 page novel.
In French.

Linden tea if I recall correctly

& his gram was playing a prototype of M Sax's gift to the world

are there some live clips in the Room To Live video featuring soprano sax or is that clarinet, also Chicago Now?

My fave sax is Sax Rohmer...

Does Pumpkin Soup and Mashed Potatoes feature a sax?

didn't The Fall carry a clarinet player for an extended period?

sounds like a penny-whistle

There was talk of a clarinet being used in 'The Chiselers', but I never heard it... :unsure:

maybe that's it: The Phantom Clarinet

They should have stuck with the kazoo...

iirc it did at one point, but it got wiped

Bremen Nacht, bestimmt ohne weiteres einfach völlig perfekt sicherlich unbedingt. -_-

Yes, it's far too long in it's 'alternative' format isn't it? I too much prefer the LP mix as featured on the Box Set. :D

Smelly old Proust?
Smelly, smelly, smelly old Proust...as he's known in Dagenham...

I didn't think about it when i posted my message.

But I'm full of surprises now / And my friend, he said I'm full of surprises now... :rolleyes:

Twice - Dave Tucker in '81 (on "Slates") and then Charlotte Bill (who also played flute) in '90 (Extricate). Neither was around for that long.

I think S Rogers played a horrible midi sax, also occasionally seen in the mouth of Vince Clarke around the same time.

There's a sax in Lie Dream? :o :wacko:

Must have listened to that song hundreds of times and I've never noticed.

It's in the breakdown at the end of each verse, I think. Just 2 notes, mind.

It's pretty much all the way through the track.
The riff is played on a sax, as well as that mad swirling sax sort-of breakdown "thing".

Going back to clarinets, is that one running through 'Inevitable'? Certainly sounds like it, or perhaps an oboe...

It's played by Richard Mazda.

I am - techincally - Richard Mazda.

thanks Octophone :)

On Frenz Experiment? I suspected as much.

does the sax sampled sound on bremmen nacht count?

well its immaterial anyway because i dont like that track! maybe because it sounds like a sax.
