Re: Radiohead - The King Of Limbs
Wow. The claps are what make the track for me.
They are rhythmically "fighting" with the main pattern in the track, but they are not out of time. Syncopation.

Have you guys paid close attention to the hand claps on "Lotus Flower?" They're so random and out of time with the rhythm of the song that I think it has totally spoiled that track for me.

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.

Re: Radiohead - The King Of Limbs
Totally agree w/r/t Little Speaker. Ruins an otherwise good track.

It's funny that you mention that because I was the first person who brought up that out-of-time drum loop on the Dirty forums. I remember a lot of people saying almost the exact same thing then as you guys are saying now.. that it was "purposely out-of-time." But I never bought into it. It was just sloppy programming, to me - and still is.
