lol , well done, Mike.

While it's not badly executed (barring a couple of wrong notes here and there), it's not jazz. There's no improvisation, no solos, no real interplay among the musicians.

It's just - a band playing a song they like.

this is not the definition of jazz. but i agree, they're not even a band. this thread is a lie.

[xyrofen]

It's quite nice.

Sorry, there's also no syncopation or polyrhythms, and there's barely any swing.

That's just jazzy. Not really that great JAZZ. I think this is way more coherent and includes some nice improvisation http://worldworld.bandcamp.com/track/roygbiv . Way better than the above imo, despite the lack of inspiration in the chord progression towards ending. Most of you have probably heard it before, but still.

I never thought that covers liked this worked well with conventional instruments. The melody lines are too simple to work without a synth with various filters and LFOs.

[kinski]

is roygbiv boc's avril 14th?

 

anyway, second cover is really nice. i like it.

No problems!

Yeah this. A lot of great synth music just sounds basic & amateurish when you play it on dry real-world instruments, just like a lot of sweet-ass guitar riffs just sound like a big dense mess of cheese on a complex synth patch. Maybe that's why so many rock musicians don't like techno & vice-versa, because there's usually a different compositional mindset at play in each.

 

A good live cover of electromusic (or any music, really) needs more than just a straight translation of melodies & rhythms to really fly.

yeah the bass probably can't go that low for the notes that are wrong, so he pitched it up. Still. This. Was. Pathetic.

[chaosmachine]

the title was a joke, obviously.

I was wondering if I was the only person who got that.

This is probably jazz but sounds nice anyway:

The version on Chaos' post makes the track sound like a menu screen for a golf game .... (not saying that's bad)

[Joyrex]

Regardless, I like it - always nice to hear a cover of an iconic tune.

 

Bonus: anyone know what the word being said backwards in the song is?

So true, also it fits perfectly in Gran Turismo menus

[khov]

still better than the remix on the trans canada ep
