We all know Wheel and the maypole was built up from two song ideas. Got me wondering if other existingXTc songs could be put togther in the same way to create a new version.
In my head I have the thought of Yacht Dance and Easter Theatre mingling together not just linking the songs but the two eras of tha band. it would be better if i could demonstrate this musically of course???? |

Fairly clever, Don. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Initially reading this thread title, I thought it was gonna be about using two elements of dissimilar songs to create a new one. Something like, say, singing the lyrics of Jethro Tull's "Aqualung" over the music of Neil Diamond/the Monkee's "I'm A Believer": "Sitting on a park bench eyeing little girls Eying little girls with bad intent Snot is running down his nose (do do do) Greasy fingers shabby clothes (do do do) Watching as the frilly panties run Aqualung my friend Don't start away uneasy You poor old sod You see it's only me...." i KNOW you can hear it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Okay, so it wasn't. But Spastic immediately diverted this thread from Mr Tein's original intent into 'sewn together' XTC song titles. Which is all well and fine, nothing wrong with that. However, going back to the original concept of musically editing together two XTC songs, I'd say: "Towers Of London" & "Earn Enough For Us". You'd have to pick a tempo between them, faster than the former and slower than the latter. And Tower's modulation from F to G already gets you into Earn's key. An obvious one: "Senses Working Overtime" & "Great Fire". Tempos and initial chords and keys (Am) are already similar, and the modular construction of both would facilitate juxtaposing sections (after resolving modulation and voice leading issues). |
