The hand claps begin right away in the right speaker as the music starts. It seems like they're almost in-time at first. Next the claps quickly shift to the left speaker before the actual song begins and the claps drift out-of-time just before they're dropped out before the first verse. But then.. Nigel has the claps coming in and out of the mix at random times during the rest of the song and they just sound so out-of-time and God awful.. and dare I even say embarrassing?
Totally ruined the song for me now.  |
Nah it really works i think..
I suprised how few people have referenced the impact that Flying Lotus' music has had on this album, especially the early tracks. Yorke featured on his latest album so there is a clear link there.. but when i hear this album i hear a huge flavour of Flying Lotus.. especially in those hand claps.
And if you want to talk about out of sync rhythms wrecking otherwise amazing tracks, look no further than Little Speaker on AHDO... every time i hear that i pray that this time it wont have that stupid out of sync drum loop in the background.
