Vince Clarke, Lucky Bastard - Apple Loops
What's on this page?
The ultimate synth sample library from the King of the Synths!
Review Highlights "...this CD is a must for anyone creating techno-pop tunes - or for anyone creating anything vaguely electronic-sounding with a sampler. Ambient-dance acts will love the filtered sections, rave and acid fans will love the blippy loops, Industrial bands will want the heavy kicks and sub-basses, Kraftwerk eyro-artists will use the thips, pings and electronic percussion noises, new age nuts will layer the sweeps with their guitars...Lucky Bastard is one hell of a useful CD. 9/10" - Future Music, Nov 93.
"Five Stars in every category." - Keyboard, USA
"would certainly make a worthwhile addition to many peoples sample library. 8/10." - SoundUser
"this CD could fulfil most analogue dreams, be they industrial, ambient, techno or just clouded, gibbering fantasies" - Music Technology
Contents A huge collection of sequences specially created by Vince using his massive collection of classic analogue synths. Many totally synth-generated unique drum loops, one of Vince's trademarks - each broken down into elements for easy customisation and extraction of single hits. Synths featured include Roland System 100, System 700, ARP 2600, Moogs, SCI Pro One, Korg Poly Fusion, VCS3, Serge, Obie, Xpander, and more, many modular synths are crosspatched for maximum creativity. This CD features all the sequences from his original collection and new material added by Vince in 2003.
More info on the Producer Vince Clarke is a living legend. A founding member of Depeche Mode writing 'New Life', 'Just Can't Get Enough', he has since gone on to form two more hugely successful bands. First Yazoo with Alison Moyet, then Erasure with Andy Bell. Yazoo produced timeless classics such as 'Only You' and 'Don't Go' and led to a successful solo career for Alison Moyet. Erasure have spent ten years at the top of the charts in the UK and around the rest of the World. Their hits have included 'A Little Respect', 'Sometimes', 'Drama!', 'Always', 'Stop!' and many more. Erasure remain one of the most respected creators of SynthPop to this day.

Why People Like You Chose Powermax
Just wanted to thank you for the personal service. I appreciate that you called me on my credit card problem, and have kept me updated on the status of my order. I place orders on line several times a month, and sometimes customer service is lacking.
Thank you, again.
I'm appreciated your taking care of the video card issue. Your company's customer service is vary good. You take some cost to fix the video card issue. So, I buy this software from here not other company as my appreciation. I would really like to thank you for the astounding customer service you and PowerMax have provided; ironically, not even Apple comes close to service such as this.
Thanks so much,
BIG kudos to your company for shipping to APOs. I love Apple and all their products, but their lack of support to Service Members deployed and stationed overseas has been a sore point with me for a long time!!! It is refreshing to find a company that understands that Soldiers in Iraq (and Afghanistan, and Germany, and Japan, etc.) deserve easy access to Macs as well as anyone else.
Thank you for your help.
I'm VERY happy with the iMac I purchased from you, and I would definitely say this is the best support I've had. I also want to thank you for PowerMax's support of the military by shipping Apple products to APO addresses. Thanks again, and I look forward to getting another Mac from you soon!
Thank You,
Thanks for all the information, it is a great help. I will let you know how it all comes out - and may have to ask you for some more help. I appreciate your consideration - actually this is the way I have been treated by everyone I have worked with at PowerMax. I wouldn't buy a Mac anyplace else. This is my second one from PowerMax.
Take care,
