Your favorite programmed drum loop? Mine is "Alphabet St."

"Alphabet St." is a rather simple drum pattern. There is some rhythm sections to it, but the actual drum loop is not that exciting. " ![]() | |

"Annie Christian" is GOATed. Best track on Controversy.
How often did we get those in 80s prime Prince though? Even the few people allege are played live are always mixed/produced to almost emulate the Linn. | |

The programmed drum sounds on Lovesexy are really strong, some of the best. But my favourite right now is Automatic. "Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system" - Bruce Lee | |

The exception not the rule? On 80s Prince albums we're talking about?

I always thought the beginning of Sign would make a great ring tone. But I wouldn't know how to do that. And I would try to follow the bass drum sound on Alphabet (1-2-2-1). I could do it for a little while, but I'd screw it up. I'm not a musician. | |

Prince was a wizzard in programming his drum loops. The whole 1999 & Purple Rain album, specially 'When Doves Cry', 'Insatiable', 'Vicky Waiting', 'The Dance Electric', the simplicity of 'Erotic City', the weirdness of 'Girl', the flow of 'Come'... on and on. - But indeed; "Tamborine..." for example, live drums to die for.

Prince was also unique to connect these machines in a creative 'sound' way with pedals, etc He experimented within his own field with loads of things "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves.

Has ‘The Future’ been mentioned? I bloody love the drum sound on that. There may or may not be something coming! | |
