double your pleasure
cor, what a great tune
such crisp drumming, so much intricate space, that glistening luminous bassline, all the gorgeous little flickering riffs and FX,
sort of a funkatified Spirit maybe, or a proto-disco Zombies
but you know what is even better
take two copies of the same video
play one, and then cue the other to start with a delay
could be 10 seconds gap, or 40 seconds, or even a minute and half
it almost always sounds great
it's that old swirling or phasing trick that deejays would do, two copies of the same record on each deck
i've tried it before but i've never had the same degree of "it all sounds good" no matter what the delay factor is - usually you had to jiggle about a bit, pause the PLAY and restart after a second, do that a few times to get a pleasing effect, nudging it towards a nice phasing
but perhaps because of all the spaces in "Green Eyed Lady" - the definition in the way the drums have been recorded - the mirrored out of synch versions of the song seem to mesh easily more often
