did anyone hear "Hustle and Bustle of the city" or "Walk on By"

"walk on by' is on the first D Train LP. Not up to the title track or the great "Keep On" though. "Music" was a decent follow-up. what happened to the singer? did he go back to church?

All of the D-train material was soley Prophet 5: bass, leads, strings, brass, F/X. You can recognize it after having one for awhile, plus he said this in an interview. Prophet 5 in particular was the central analog synth in NY club music for the first half of the 80s.

there's a patrick cowley article on a website saying most of his stuff was just a single Prophet 5 overdubbed over and over again...so credit it to the Frisco sound as well.

the You're The One For Me album is "all good." I like "Keep On" even more than the title track. hey Jaxon you might love D-Train keyboardist Hubert Eaves' Esoteric Funk album from 1976.

The history of d-train confuses me. So it was originally a duo, with andre "d-train" Williams on vocals and Hubert eaves doing the production? Then Andre goes solo but Eaves still works with him? Why not just stick with the catchy name D-Train?
