Subject says it all, someone with no Internet access asked me this
question.

Please answer also on my E-mail, because I don't read this group
regularly

Thanks in advance

One Year of Love, played by Steve Gregory, from the album A Kind of Magic.

I think there's only a sax on Staying Power (Hot Space)

that's a horn, probably a trumpet, not a sax, not sure who played it, but I'm
pretty sure it says on the album

The horns on Hot Space were all sythesizers, arranged by funk/disco producer
Arif Mardin.

That is a synth. Real horns don't sound like that.

Doesn't it usually say on the CD sleave if it's a real instrument? And
one of the guys gets credit for playing it. Look at 'Seaside
Rendezvous' and all those extra 'instruments' and credits..

Besides the saxophone is the worst instrument in the world apart from
maybe the bagpipes.

Does that really sound like a genuine sax to you? The horns on staying
power were also synths, and sound much more convincing.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question, Jacqui Mills in
particular, because he was the one with the right answer.

The song was indeed " One Year Of Love"

Thanks Jacqui !!

[Mark Stent]

And the accordion.

I think this is a very personal thing.... either you like it, or you
don't.

I personally love a song with some good 'sax' in it ! :-)

Those are definitely NOT synths. Neither is the sax. There's more to
recording brass and woodwind parts than the sound. It's highly
unlikely that back in '82 they could get those sounds or that kind of
expression from the synths of that time.

Besides, the horns were arranged by Arif Mardin who has plenty of
producing and arranging credits and a jazz background. He would know
what musicians to call to get that recorded.

In article <ksgk7t4gedi1e4m49...@4ax.com>,

I pulled out the cd and gave it a listen, and I'd have to agree with
you about the horns being actual *horns* on Staying Power. It's not
something I listen to often(if ever), and I guess I came to my
conclusion partly because there aren't any performance credits on the
album of who actually played what on that track.

However, I disagree about the sax on Action this Day though. If it is
an actual horn, it was recorded in a much more primitive manner than
what was available around that time. Maybe it was deliberate, dunno? It
sounds very sterile, to say the least, and doesn't sound genuine to me.

Matt

[Mike P.]

I agree it does sound odd, but I always assumed that it was a
stylistic choice by either the player, producer or Queen - I always
liked that "lazy" solo.

The saxophone is, in my opinion, the sexiest instrument of all. The bagpipes? I concur. 😁
