Had a listen to the basement version of Little by Little. Never noticed the funky little drum parts. Very cool.

Sorry, seems I was wrong. From what I can tell, it's a different thing, like lots of syncopation-ed vocals have the word 'and' in them, I think. Anyway, it seems that it's actually NOT a Radiohead-only style of music.

Yeah there are quite a few syncopationed bands and songs out there nowadays if you're into dubstep drums

I am not sure wtf is going on here but "syncopation" essentially just means having a part that is (usually temporarily) out of rhythm with the piece of music it is in. it can certainly be found in dubstep but it can also be found in pretty much every genre of music

ICHIBAHN posted:Anyone else find themselves starting listening to the album from Decks Dark? I still don't skip any songs on the album when I listen to it in full (though the first minute of tinker tailor tempts me) but I have gone to Decks Dark for more one off plays than any of the other tracks.

I tend to skip the first two tracks because I listened to them roughly a million times in the week before the album came out

robodex posted:I tend to skip the first two tracks because I listened to them roughly a million times in the week before the album came out Yeah plus I don't think burn the witch is a great opener, nor do I like the contrast in tones between that and daydreaming. I skip to Decks Dark often & listen to it on its own often. It takes me back to TKOL. Guess I loved that album more than I thought. I do think Ful Stop is a bit of a handbrake. Not really into that. Particularly at that point in the record.

From Deck Darks onward the album has an airy tone to itself that you don't really hear in Burn the Witch and Daydreaming.

There's that dark rolling intensity at the end of the first song, and the slow fade, and then suddenly you surface into that airiness and warmth, it's a terrific moment.

ICHIBAHN posted:Anyone else find themselves starting listening to the album from Decks Dark? Actually I do this just about every time for some reason. I don't know if it's because of robodex posted:I tend to skip the first two tracks because I listened to them roughly a million times in the week before the album came out but in a way I think the album is somehow even better when you get rid of the first two tracks even though those tracks themselves are good.

Since people seem to be confused: syncopation is not at all unusual. It's just when some element in a song (a kick drum, the notes in a bassline, a melody, whatever) fall between the normal beats of a song, instead of exactly on the beat. It's in ten billion zillion pieces of music. The thing Radiohead do repeatedly is hide the syncopation, so you think the stuff is falling on one beat, but actually you're hearing the beat wrong. They do it on Identikit, for example; they cut off the first beat of the drum track, so for the first few bars of the song, you're feeling it "wrong". It's intentionally disorienting and cool as gently caress and yes, as Zodiac points out, I do never stop going on about it, but, well, since people seem to be asking... edit: here is the most notorious example, the "correct" way to hear Videotape (ie how the band hears it but no one else): http://popcorn.gunsha.com/videotape%20syncopated.mp3 Popcorn fucked around with this message at 16:14 on May 31, 2016 |

I always kinda thought they just ditched the syncopation for the record. Instead of being on the ee of one it's just on the one, the way you hear it initially in either version. Puppy Galaxy fucked around with this message at 17:02 on May 31, 2016 |

Luckily, they left the song very melodied and harmonied, which very few bands do anymore... you pretty much only hear it in dubstep nowadays

It's all philosophical, of course, but... I'd argue that the syncopation is still there on the record. The main clue is the 909 snare that enters in the final bars, on the backbeat. When they play it live (after the record came out I mean), the band also still feels it syncopated. For example, take the Feet East performance; Thom has trouble feeling the syncopated beat. He asks Jonny to turn the drum machine hi-hats on so he can find it again. In Thom's words: "Temporary loss of information.”

So is everyone in agreement that The Numbers basically sounds like an unused song from Sea Change? There's nothing wrong with it per se, but once I noticed that I couldn't stop being bothered by it.

No, we decided that Sea Change is derivative of other albums made 30 years before it, and that The Numbers is probably the best track on AMSP.

It reminds me a lot of a Beatles song, particularly the the end with what sounds like people laughing in the background.
