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
