Lou Reed with the help of Andy Warhol at the 'Factory', made The Velvet Underground a massively influential band. However it was Transformer, Lou Reed's second solo aIbum, which took him from cult hero of The Velvet Underground to international superstar status.
The program takes a track-by-track Iook at the album, which was produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson. ln an excIusive interview in New York, Lou Reed talks of the making of the aIbum and together with Ken Scott, the original engineer, takes us through the multi-track tapes of "Perfect Day", "Vicious", "SatelIite Of Love" and "Walk On The Wild Side" amongst others. In London Herbie FIowers shows us how the bass line on "WaIk On The Wild Side" was recorded, creating what is one of the most famous riffs in popuIar music. Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics taIks of Lou Reed's infIuence on him as a songwriter and musician. The program is illustrated throughout with archive footage of Lou Reed in concert, The Velvet Underground, Andy WarhoI and the 'Factory' and features new acoustic materiaI from Lou.
This program provides a unique insight into the process behind the recording of Transformer, which perfectly captured the spirit of the early 1970's, and ilIustrates why today it is still considered a truIy Classic Album. |
