favorite musical moments of '05
i once read a long-ish article by marcello carlin (who has an amazing year end list up) that was solely about four seconds of a certain song. it was a great peice, and in fact looked to be but one in a series of micro-focused reviews. this is nothing so grand, but it was inspired by the emphasis his review placed of the importance of moments rather than whole songs. so here's my favorite moments, sounds, pieces, nuggets, etc of songs that came out in 2005.
- the bell and the drum being hit at the same time in nothing good about this goodbye
- eno vocal solo at the end of this
- the elephant roars at the end of safari (m. mayer doing an elephant dance to them was as amazing as it sounds)
- when the melody of all on me changes at 4:05
- those amazingly huge drums on teen angst (luciano mix)
- that gigantic crashing piano stab on what's it gon' be
- the stutters in tribulations (lindstrøm remix)
- the way "the dan's" sax comes in on signs (still life peg remix)
- the chime synthes in our house (ada remix)
- the crunchy/sproingy sounding synth stab in ewan pearson's remix of 49 percent
- "hey little droid", robotboy
- the jay-z sample at the begining of koze's remix of eve (specificaly "motherfuckers")
- the cascading melody in chica wappa (mejor edit) that comes in at 1:56
- the outro to open door (disco version)
- the cut up vocals that makes up much of the melody for richard x's remix of no more conversations
- the huge synth sounds in jesper dahlback's mix of romantic rights
- the intro to what else is there? (trentemøller remix); the climax at 5:41
- the five note bass line of the sky was pink (james holden remix)
- 2:13–2:21 of the fallen (justice edit)
- the cello on be mine; the talky bit
- the sax in come rain come shine
- aguayo's vocals on de papel
- "sex in the kitchen/over by the stove/put you on the counter/by the buttered rolls", sex in the kitchen (remix)
- "cute face/chubby waist/thick legs/in shape", lose control (jacques lu cont mix)
- "i am a babbling brooooooook!", broom people
- "yu-yurple", gotta stay fly
- when you let out the breath you didn't know you were holding and the world melts/shatters at 4:35 in physical fraction
COMMENTS:
said: yeah im usually fond of moments of songs much more than songs in their entirety.
anothony and the johnsons- hope there's someone: when the piano goes crazy arond 3:15 colliding with the echoes. sidenote: what did you think of this album?
welcome to jamrock-- in the first verse when he croons at the end of each sentence (esp "club sodas, bestimes storieeees...")
stay fly: right when that sample comes in after two seconds. do you konw who they sampled?
said: dunno who they sampled, it's great though. i haven't heard the other two, i'll have to check them out.
lil' kim – the first few lines of lighters up, as dropped by caps&jones in their sept mix for l-r.
