dubai_phil Posted 24 March, 2013 Posted 24 March, 2013 OK this was on FB today think it needs some discussion before Quote http://www.popmatters.com/pm/post/167625-r.e.m.s-losing-my-religion-in-a-major-key-video/ When I first noticed that something professing to be R.E.M.‘s “Losing My Religion” in a major key was making the rounds on the Internet, I assumed it was some sort of joke at the expense of “Shiny Happy People”. Not so. In fact, it’s a digitally reworked recording of the iconic song by a Vimeo account called Major Scaled, which has given similar treatment to songs by Metallica, the Doors, and a few others. If you’ve heard the original song, it sounds—well, weird, upbeat, and more than a little off. You don’t have to be a music theory expert to spot the difference. And if you haven’t heard the original song? I’m not sure there’s anyone alive who can share that perspective. http://vimeo.com/57685359 The Doors below is just WRONG Any other Crimes against music remixes or strange new technology attempts you've come across?

dubai_phil Posted 24 March, 2013 Author Posted 24 March, 2013 Reading the many comments. The Dude who had (more time than Tokyo Bearsy & Turks) on his hands has taken a very simple music fact and shown up the difference between Major & Minor keys. ROFL at the Metallica sounding almost Mumford esque on another of his projects
Pugwash Posted 24 March, 2013 Posted 24 March, 2013 Perfect illustrations of the principle that: Just because you CAN do something, it doesn't mean you SHOULD.
