I would... ... ... comment, ... .. ... but ...

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1496602565' post='3312626'] I've been trying some things out and the most odd thing happened. I've got one quite tuneful track and two atonal ones in a different time signature. I was just reviewing what I'd got down so far, mixed up the atonal tracks, and it sounded like a descent into insanity, like a waking nightmare almost. I had to get up and walk around to shake it off. I really wasn't expecting that. May have to tone it down or sweeten it before I play it to anyone. [/quote] ...But that's exactly how I get my best results..! Render it 'as is' and let the public (well, us BCer's...) decide. Cap ou pas cap..?

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1496586557' post='3312473'] Yes, but Howard Goodall could fart into a paper bag and it would still be a great documentary ... [/quote] No, that was Ringo Starr. Please, do keep up.

[quote name='MrCrane' timestamp='1496403243' post='3311095'] Not a patch on these guys... [/quote] S'good, and still funny, but parody of the sort can only be produced [i]after [/i]the original, not before, the point being that Sgt Pepper's was there [i]first[/i]. The mockery (and tributes...) came afterwards, when it's too late; the ground had already been broken. There are many pianists that perform some piece or other 'in the style of' Handl, Mozart, Prokofiev then Bartok (other composers are available...). Entertaining, but those composers are still as great, simply because they created their own recognisable style, as did the Beatles in their own domain.

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1496404355' post='3311114'] It happens to the best of them. This must be one of the coolest recoveries ever. ... [/quote] ... and kudos for the keys, giving him a lick ending on the note he's to start on. [i]Real [/i]musicians.

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1496343506' post='3310758'] In no particular order... [/quote] Some very good'uns there; I doubt, however, that Terry Bozzio would have been a better fit than Ringo for the Beatles, any more than Ringo would have been good in the Mothers. He (Ringo...) needs no defence from me; his style was more than suitable at the time for what was required, and stands the test of time, as long as one keeps context in mind. Was/is he a 'sh1t' drummer..? Not at all, but I can see why you fail to see any qualities in his work. There's no accounting for taste; to each his/her own.

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1496338697' post='3310715']... He just doesn't/didn't seem to have a clue. [/quote] Somewhat summary as a critique, I'd say. I suppose we are to gather that you don't like something about his style. And your drumming heroes are..?

[quote name='DaveFry' timestamp='1496325037' post='3310533'] I have always assumed "comping" was a abbreviation for accompanying as in :- During the flood grandma floated away on the grand piano and grandpa accompanied her on the double bass . Carry on OT. [/quote] That's my interpretation, too, but I believe there's local variation, and sometimes, context breeds differing uses of the same term.

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1496332951' post='3310639'] No, you misunderstood. I was using the Ringo element as a metaphor, much in the same way as GH only got a song or two. I know full well it's a Harrison tune...my mumma didn't raise me as a mouth-breather. [/quote] OK, as you were. Just struck me as odd, s'all. Carry on regardless...

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1496332866' post='3310638'] Oh great pic! [/quote] +1 I hear an Alberti bass coming on...

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1496324320' post='3310513'] I remember a bloke I used to play with always said that they [i]had [/i]to give Ringo a song, more out of sympathy than anything else, but for love of [i]whatever [/i]where were their heads at to include [i]Within You Without You[/i] on the album?... [/quote] Ringo Starr..? [url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Within_You_Without_You"]Wikipedia: Within You Without You ...[/url]

[quote name='Monkey Steve' timestamp='1496322020' post='3310485'] in fairness that is from a drummer, sorry, drumber, so the fact he can even hold a pencil puts him in the advanced class [/quote]

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1496316467' post='3310416']...with the exception of [i]Within You Without You[/i]. It just ruins the flow of the album and had my finger hovering over the fast forward botton. Shockingly awful. [/quote] One had to 'be there'.

All of this, although technically fascinating, is, in my view, complete overkill for domestic, amateur use. Of course, if one can do more, one can do less, so it's all useful info, but it's going to be a long time before I need more than my i5 proc or SSD. Not knocking it; if I was Cresus I'd probably bite the bullet, but my meagre resources don't spread to these 'cutting edge' techniques. I don't feel handicapped at all by my modest 'lean' system. Just sayin'.

[/quote] Snap, so +1. Yes, I still listen to all of those with great pleasure (as well as more recent, and much older (Schubert..? Bruckner..?) stuff...). It's all good, but special mention for 'Surrealistic Pillow'. S'been a long time comin'; s'gonna be a long time gone.

33..? Some of us here are already twice that..!

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1496268878' post='3310168'] How wrong you are... [/quote] Gets my vote; his best work yet. Still not enough cowbell, however.

[quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1496253838' post='3309999'] I'm watching this now in iPlayer.... [/quote] +1 Post of the week. Excellent review, spot on in all respects. Respect.

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1496252680' post='3309983'] Have I missed something here? What's mr. smalls done? [/quote] You're new here, then..?

[quote name='SH73' timestamp='1496245521' post='3309906'] I'm really struggling to vote. Every song has something unique about them. Would it be fair to say I'll give my vote to the three that received lesser votes? [/quote] The criteria for attribution of your vote are entirely up to you. There is no 'Skol Force' about to swoop down on those deigning to ignore the suggestions, despite all his bravado and bluster. Do as you think best, decide how you wish, invoke the hidden Punk in you, and be satisfied that you've made at least someone happier. 'Does it fit the picture..?' was the original notion, but we've come a long way down the anarchy trail since then ([i]sic [/i]Lenny. and a few other rebels..). Feel free, old chum; feel free...

[quote name='Monkey Steve' timestamp='1496237110' post='3309791'] see this this is exactly why it became a running joke that means I'll always use the wrong spelling... [/quote] It's taken me several years to get used to 'teh', or 'TIM' (and I still wake at nights, mumbling and shivering, at times...), and now there's a new one to provoke ripples in this millpond. Oh, well...
