Back to Jupiter

In February this year, a French company called Arturia released a software that reproduces the sounds of the greatest analog synthesizer ever made, Roland Jupiter 8. I can't wait to get my hands on it.

In the meantime, here are some of the albums that take you into the world of that great instrument:

Love and Dancing, The Human League, 1982

An instrumental remix of some of the tracks from the "Dare" album. Great for parties.

Rio, Duran Duran, 1982

Has huge Jupiter arpeggio layers all over the place. Some of them come from Jupiter 4 though.

It's My Life, Talk Talk, 1984

Shows the attack potential of this weapon.
