70's synthesizer song / HELP
this was a favorite of mine in the early 1970s...
somehow I remembered it as "Tank" by emerson lake and palmer...
however, Ive listened to every version of that song, by them, and its
none of the tunes available on YouTube, though very similar in the
building synth parts and general rhythm.
it goes a bit like this... the song Im looking for...
DUH DUH DUH-DUH-DUM Duh Duh Duh DUHH_
DUH DUH DUH-DUH-DUM duh-dah-duh duh-dah-duh...
with this pattern repeating for the entire song.
There is a dramatic stop near the beginning, after which the
build begins, with various solos, continuing several minutes,
and fading at end.
A very rememberable tune... by which I mean, I could sing it
for you, but cannot remember the song title or band performing(!).
This definitely is /not/ "Tank" (the ELP song) which has a l-o-n-g drum
solo... the song Im looking for is fairly long, but no real drum solo...
so, unless Emerson/Lake/Palmer recorded this variation in a studio, but
never put it on an actual album, it cannot be Tank.
Anybody hearing this, as I "duh duh-ed" it ?
