"Rhythm Is A Dancer"?
Changing Minds and its creators are in more than one way the embryo that a few years later becomes Snap!
16 Bit was 'fun' project of two German DJs (Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilott). Michael Münzing, an electrical engineer by trade, started experimenting with computers in the music business early on using a Commodore C64 and then the Commodore Amiga. Both were immensely popular in .
Commodore's German HQ was in Michael Münzing's home town Frankfurt/Main. Maybe that was just an coincident but eventually Commodore picked up "Changing Minds" for its Amiga promotions.
At the time the Amiga was light years ahead of anything else in regards to sound and visual effects. the TV show "SeaQuest"? Many of the special effects for that show were created on the Commodore Amiga and the The NewTek Video Toaster hardware and software.
Changing Minds to me is a piece of both music and computer history and I proudly own a 12" maxi vinyl -
Edited 7 years agoMainly an advertising campaign for the legendary Commodore Amiga 500 home computer. Musically a weak composition, in my opinion. Text consists of a nonsense "computer manual" read out loud and a vocal sample, one of them seemingly added subsequently, doesn't really match. The best thing is a printed Amiga 500 advert, written for hobbyist musicians and contained in some versions, which makes this release something special for true Amiga fans. -
I still cant believe that an Amiga 500 was used in the creation of the song and video. Bloody amazing!
