Lou Reed with the help of Andy Warhol at the 'Factory', made The Velvet Underground a massiveIy infIuential band. However it was Transformer, Lou Reed's second soIo aIbum, which took him from cuIt hero of The VeIvet Underground to international superstar status.
The program takes a track-by-track Iook at the aIbum, which was produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson. ln an exclusive interview in New York, Lou Reed talks of the making of the album 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 Iine on "Walk On The Wild Side" was recorded, creating what is one of the most famous riffs in popular music. Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics talks of Lou Reed's influence on him as a songwriter and musician. The program is illustrated throughout with archive footage of Lou Reed in concert, The VeIvet Underground, Andy Warhol and the 'Factory' and features new acoustic material 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 stilI considered a truIy Classic Album. |
