Title: Somewhere Near Japan + The Church’s Under the Milky Way: keyboard sounds Post by: CenturyDeprived on May 24, 2016, 02:58:41 PM Give a listen to The Church’s famous 1988 song, “Under the Milky Way”:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWxJEIz7sSA Between 1:33 to 1:53, there’s a repeating “twinkling” type keyboard part that is heard during pauses between the lines of lyrics. Then give a listen to The BB’s 1989 song, “Somewhere Near Japan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAdeXsyIvE4 Repeatedly throughout the song, at 3:01, 3:18, 3:37, 3:55, 4:12, 4:31, a very, very similar-sounding keyboard part is heard. Is this the exact same type of keyboard and patch/setting? And does anyone think this is a complete coincidence, or did Terry Melcher, when producing SNJ, perhaps intentionally ape of the sound from “Under the Milky Way”?

Just wanted to bump this topic in case anyone has any thoughts on this?
