Synthesizer Hits

Like all things in a world that moves fast, the all-pervading presence of the synthesizer is something we now accept as part of our musical enjoyment. The solid-state circuitry of the synthesizer keyboard means it can now genuinely sound like anything its operator cares to imitate. Lush orchestrations with strings, brass, woodwind, choral effects and percussion or dissonant abstract tinkerings which sound like space signals are equally attainable. On Synthesizer Hits the emphasis is on just that. Here the synthesizer adds its own special touch to a diverse range of chart smashes. These versions lose none of the impact of the originals but instead give them a different slant. The 38 tracks on this 2 CD collection represent a wide range of moods, from the uptempo to the stately. Every track is a truly great pop hit in its own right and together they make the kind of compilation that stirs the imagination. Queen are represented here by three tracks. Bohemian Rhapsody was their fourth hit and first number one, We Are The Champions (which rivals You'll Never Walk Alone at football grounds the length and breadth of Britain) reached number two in 1977 and Radio Gaga also reached number two in 1984. That's not the end of the story The Beatles' tracks Eleanor Rigby and Yellow Submarine, actually appeared on the same double-sided single in 1966, another of their many number one hits. And two tracks have been hits by different artists, Can't Help Falling in Love was a number one for Elvis in 1960 and climbed to number three for Andy Williams in 1970.
