rhodes + piano = that flaccid fake synth sound without even using synths.
Wow, this guy truly IS a genius.

Man! Blasphemy! That's like saying:
George Benson's Gibson Johnny Smith + Polytone 104 = "15 Jazz Guit1" on the DX-7.
Lobby bar pianists from all around the globe will hunt you down, throw themselves over their computer keyboards and speak rudely to you.

Oh no! Jeff, JEFF! This experiment has gone wrong! He's past the breaking point. The Madness is incurable. I fear an "Old Yeller" end is all that's left.

I'm confused. Who am I? The dog or the kid?

If Foster produced Burzum, it would sound like Cradle of Filth.

There you go! I'd never heard about them before, but listening to them now, they seem to fit the bill. Speaking of Bills, I still think Foster would've found some space for Champlin on background vocals in there. And a sax solo.

All snark aside, it's a peculiar world you have moved into, Terje. The Dolly song was kinda cheesy when it came out 111 years ago, but now it's a gentle reminder of a better time when pop songs were a tad more innocent and Dolly's breasts could be used as airbags for the Mars Lander. (And now she's working on a version of 9 to 5 for Broadway? Anyway...) I'm not sure I'd say the Alice Cooper foray was successful, going by those two tracks. Seems like somebody else singing on those songs. I wish the Guide to Hall & Oates from Jefito's blog was still available, because I'd like to hear the Along the Red Ledge stuff.
So next week, you'll probably frighten us all by telling us Foster produced Goat's Head Soup, right?

I think the H&O guide IS available -- unless I'm remembering completely wrong, it's one of the posts that made the jump over from Jefitoblog. Do a search!

Next week's entry will have four heads and costumes by Jean-Paul Gaultier. It can be a horrible monster, but on Thursday it will perform one of my all-time favorite David Foster songs with grace. I'm sure you'll be puzzled, but I will try to explain to the best of my ability. I will also include a selection with a no doubt perplexed David Foster backing a Polish-Norwegian "R&B" singer during a Norwegian television special in 1982.

Oops. Change of plans. Sorry. The post I'm referring to will be available in two weeks.
