what's stuck in my head
Feb. 16th, 2009 09:16 pmI'd recommend listening to this with headphones; just don't turn it up too high during the quiet section. The video itself is static, so you don't need to watch it as it plays.
I'm not sure that i can explain why i like this track so much without going full-on nerd. The odd time signature, the layering of elements, the use of dissonance to create tension, the seemingly incidental noises leading up to the shape of the song's climax... honestly, i'd love to hear this scored for a symphonic orchestra. It's nothing less than a showcase for John Stanier's brilliant percussion without being anything as vulgar as a prolonged drum solo.
