Music: the best bits

The problem I have with COTD (despite founding it) is that people tend to just post a tune with no accompanying explanation, any indication of why I should listen to it, any indication of what bits I should listen to.

In theory at least this thread demands close engagement.

But you could be right.

I think the flaw with this thread is that once you isolate the bit from rest of the tune the bit dies. It's like chopping off a big toe. You might really love my big toe, but if you chopped it off it would go grey, start to rot and smell really bad. That's like this thread.

Well it's not about isolating it it's about drawing attention to it within the context of the tune.

If you bothered reading what I've written for once maybe you'd already understand that.

Bizarre Inc was my personal rave anthem back in the rave days. . Haven't heard it for a long long time. Going to try and rerun that rave program now.
I really I like the closing refrain at the end of this song from 2.22. It's the combination of chord change and uplift I think that makes it. The change of pitch in her vocal and that lift vs the morose nature of the lyrics.

Bizarre Inc is like a different record before that break kicks in. Interesting how totally functional it is. It's meant entirely to produce that dancefloor high and not much else. But it does it so well.

Functionality can be great can't it, this is a much wider discussion...

As a dyed in the kleenex sentimentalist* I love all of this song (apart from the key change bit towards the end, unfortunately).

But I draw your attention to the use of the word "impossible" in the chorus (which starts almost immediately, the following line being 18 seconds in) -

"Am I the only who thinks it's an impossible task?"

This could be totally accidental but the word "impossible" doesn't fit smoothly into the rhythm/cadence of the singing here but the way she fits it in, dragging it out "im-poss-ible" seems to me both audacious and perfectly, improbably fitting.

*woops make a wanking joke
