Again - great new sounds (like a 'used' car that's new to me : )

For some reason, I'm locked in the 70's synth sounds, which I'm guessing, makes the music sound somewhat dated because current trendy synth sounds and music are a little more gritty and harsh.

But listening to my old 70's playlist last night - found a few more 70's hits where I love the synth sounds. "Dream Weaver", "You Sexy Thing" - almost all Yes songs - especially like the synth sounds in Roundabout and Close to the Edge, Cars songs.


I think I especially like the slow attack sounds, because they're so different and to my ear 'more soothing' than guitar sounds - the only other acoustic instruments that come to my mind for these nice soft attacks are the violin and trombone (though I'm sure you'll add more). Actually, also - pedal steel (which Steve Howe used quite interestingly - nothing Nashville about it), but Yes is a very acquired taste.

Perhaps mixing some new synth sounds with some old would be a more 'modern' approach.

Where are synth sounds headed next ?
