Bloc Party vs Nelly Furtado

[andy_s]

I know there's loads of Nelly and loads of Bloc Party boots at the moment, but I thought there was room for one more!

Bloc Party - Positive Tension

vs

Nelly Furtado - Maneater

I know purists would say that speeding up a 'pella by 25bpm is a no no, but I don't care...
It's 160bpm, fast and noisy! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Very Happy" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Your honest opinions are really appreciated!

I like the idea but at 1:31 the acapella runs faster than the instrumental. Then around 3:08 the instrumental is out running the acapella alot. Just wondering, what happend to the acapella near the end, Nelly's voice got deeper and Timbaland sounded like he had been kicked in the cream crackers.

Yeah I just realised myself! Your right, I've got the pella a couple of beats behind the backing, can't believe I didn't spot that before! <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt="Embarassed" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->

As for the accapella near the end, I was playing with reverb and stuff to get it to fit the backing, badly I guess!

I'm working on an edit...thanks for your help though!

Can't wait for the tweak. I like both acts.

Hi all, there's a tweak of this online now, finally! If I'm honest I'm still not 100% sure about this myself.. <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt="Confused" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? --> I just don't why!
