The Instruments Of Electronic Pop
Electronic Pop or Electropop relied heavely of synthesizers and drum machines to create unique sounds and hypnotizing beats. It has roots in British bands such as Roxy Music, Tagerine Dream and Pink Floyd. While they did incorporate synthesisers, these were mixed with conventional Rock instruments such as guitar, bass and drums. Phil Manzenara of Roxy Music, Mick Ronson with David Bowie and David Gilmour of Pink Floyd used the Gibson Les Paul electric guitar.
During the heyday of Electropop in the late 70s and early 80s, the synthesiser and drum machine ruled. Leaders in the movement were David Bowie during his Berlin phase, Germany’s Kraftwerk and Japan’s Yellow Magic Orchestra.
