I think it was that he used somebody said "Zoolook" and then he used some sort of MIDI unit to get it sound like an instrument.

Euh yes, for sound effects he recorded his voice and the voice of LAurie Anderson to create samples he took on his Fairlight ;)
But for the lead, he used a Fairlight sound ;)
Many Fairlight in this album :P

I'm looking for EMU choir sound.
Zero-G Nostalgia has a choir patch from Emulator 2 : E2 CHOIR
Cult Sampler has a few patches from Emulator 3 and EMAX 2, but I'm afraid there's no such a choir sound :? . The only voice-alike EMU patch here is from Emulator 3: SYNTH CHOIR.
Cult Sampler has more choir sounds (for example from Ensoniq Mirage), but some of them aren't specified (in category 'misc'->'orchestral'). On the other hand, on their website (bestservice.de) it is written, that there are sounds from different vintage samplers, like: Orchestron, EMU II, Akai S-612, Ensoniq Mirage, Fairlight, Synclavier, Linn, Mellotron, Master Studio Coll., FZ-1, DSS-1. Yay!
The patch list of Cult Sampler - here.

Thank you for the demo.

It is definetly not the Ethnicolor choir sound (it is a multi-choirs patch) although I like much this sound.

Nice test, what did you use for this track? The Elephant(whale or what it is) and the tet(tsut) sound?

Thank you synthetist

Elephant sound has been taken from original track.
Tsut sound has been taken from Rambo website.

Instruments are :
Roland XV-5080 (choir)
DX-7 (fx)
Kontakt sampler (fairlight strings/sarahh/percu, emulator tsut)
Oberheim OB-Xa (low brass with bell)

Nice cover...

but where are "I shall" and other words??

2. What do you think, that is it possible to rip the vocal rhythm line and convert it to soundfont?

"I shall" ??? First word is "Aisha" (Ai-sha-Ai-sha).

I tried to rip voices but I failed. Maybe a sound engineer could do a good rip job (AMR could you help us ?).
There is a soundfont with Ethnicolor voices but rip is very bad.

There is only one person on this forum, and on earth
who knows exactly what the spoken words are in Ethnicolor.

Zoolook is infact JMJ's most personal & revealing album ...
but it is done So cleverly that no one outside of JMJ and this person knows about it.

Uhm. The lyrics are pretty clear, in fact... :P :lol:

It is the meaning behind the lyrics and who the lyrics are intended for.
The lyrics are meant for only this One person.

Please list what you think the lyrics are.
And what you think the meaning is behind them.

There is no explicit meaning. Those are random samples... :P
