(via COPY (Welcome Back ver.) - The Plastics (1981)
This record was a huge inspiration for me in terms of programming drums for longer songs structures, 8 bar segments that fit together into larger pieces. Integrated into a drum track for the composition.
All the drum tracks are the TR-808, which I had access to. A hell of a mind fuck.
and the drum break is wild.
The band used the Roland CR-68 and CR-78 drum machines for their early albums.[4] In 1980, member Masahide Sakuma had some input on the Roland Corporation’s development of the Roland TR-808 drum machine. When its development was complete, the Plastics owned the first TR-808 model, which they used on their 1981 album Welcome Back.[4] [wikipedia]
