Fela Kuti “Zombie”
- Begins with a nice jazzy beat that I generally liked, however, it was a bit to long of an intro as there was some vocals added a little after the 5 minute mark. I thought that the vocals were a nice add on to the beat, though they did become repetitive after a little while. I thought that the instruments used to create the finale of this piece came together and nicely wrapped it up.
Bjork “Pagan Poetry”
- I like the mysterious projection the piece starts off with. The overall feeling of this song was very airy, mysterious, with a little bit of a creepy undertone. The vocals where the singer repeats “I love him” was annoying but then it turned into a cool background vocals which I thought sounded much better. I enjoyed this piece and would listen to it again.
Radiohead “Idioteque”
- The beat makes me want to tap my foot along to it and is very catchy in my opinion. When the vocals began I felt like they just make the piece, I love how they sound, with a slight muffled or mumble creating the effect. This is not something even close to what I would normally listen to so I was surprised that I liked it so much.
Led Zeppelin “Whole Lotta Love”
- The sliding effect created in the beat added to the vocals and gave them a lingering feeling. I thought that a lot of the sounds used throughout the song were a bit unusual but fit the piece. The song also felt slightly crazed at points and I like how the beat faded out at the end.
Captain Beefheart “Moonlight on Vermont”
- It is clear that this musician has very talented vocals and the lyrics are funny, however, I did not particularly enjoy this piece. As the instrumentals mixed with the vocals were a bit tangy and not really my style.
