We all live with a yellow drum machine,
yellow drum machine,
yellow drum machine.

This should win the award for most annoying advancement in technology.

damn, u in a time machine ? this clip has been around for at least 6 months

yes, film looks brutal.... best reason for a DRUM MACHINE ever

It's barely a tune at all. Ironic how they talk about the power of music, yet their own contribution is barely more than talking over a drum machine.

Oh yeah, I know who it is. He is a fucking genius.

It is pretty amazing that there are more than one and you can actually see em. And that someone has access and knows how to hit those old school drum machines pads and twiddle those analog synth knobs

*geek in the best possible way - though it sounds like there's a bit of drum machine going in the last bits - ah, I suppose that "modern" a cappella allows for that, fine.

YT Description: Among the sea of sound-a-like private-pressed Catholic lps that came out in
the 1960's and 1970's, Sister Irene O'Connor's 1976 album stands out with
its primitive drum machine and spooky, echo-laden vocals. Released in 1976
on the 'Alba House' label, the dual-titled Fire of God's Love/Songs to
Ignite The Spirit lp features several haunting and remarkable songs,
including the three below. In particular, the title track "Fire of God's
Love" strikes me as so otherwordly and uniquely eerie that I wonder how far
Sister Irene's O'Connor's seeming solipsism extended beyond music.

Pretty good, shame about the generic dance drum-machine.

Most Awkward/Cumbersome Drum Machine Award, please.

>> ^shagen454: If you're just looking at the video I understand your sentiments. However, like I said I'm not a big fan of this type of music - that being said the way in which someone comes up with music is important. I know Videosift is full of music Ignoramuses, but these guys use circuit bent toys as well as completely analog drum machines & synths to make their fully original "mutant" sound. They were signed to a "larger" underground electronic label, toured Europe for years and were pretty influential with movers and shakers of all sorts. If you can't hear it - that's fine, maybe there's something wrong with you, maybe you're completely normal. or maybe right now is just not the right time for you to understand.



it seems you have a GROSS misunderstanding of "dookey dookey doo, thud, thud, thud, thud" music. circuit bent toys, analogue drum machines, and analogue synths are par for the course and certainly nothing new. as a fan of "dookey dookey doo, thud, thud, thud, thud" music i find this offensively boring.

just because you make noise in an interesting way doesn't make the noise itself interesting.

The Minotaur was slightly neat. the rest... Fuck off.

I have no particular attachment to lyrics. I love instrumental jazz, enjoy classical, and have been on a major kick of foreign rock lately because it's great to be able to appreciate voice as an instrument without having to understand the (frequently) trite lyrics.

Roll Tide establishes a theme and presents variations on it. It's structure is quite classical, as a lot of metal is. The issue I raise with Vai (& Satriani & Michael Angelo Batio) is that they are shredding for the sake of shredding. I don't stand opposed to shredding, but I feel that it's at its best as an interlude to a piece with harmony, melody, arc, etc.

A drum machine and two guitars is just not my idea of a good time (except for maybe Ratatat). I certainly appreciate the absolutely insane technical skill of these guys, I just often believe that they're squandering it.>> ^juliovega914:

I feel Nightwish's Crimson Tide stands to show that a song can be good listening without lyrics.

BTW, totally pre-recorded and lip-synched.

The cymbals/drum machine give it away.

No matter.

Why does this piece of art make me horny?
Why doesn't he play it like a drum machine?
