Tim: Yesterday, you’ll recall, we heard a piano dance track and discussed whether or not it needed vocals. Now, I’m going to ignore what you said about being bored of stuff, and will instead do, well not quite the same thing, because this one already has vocals.
Tom: About time.
Tim: This sounds great, and I think it backs up what I said.
Tom: Whereas I think it’s pretty much ripped my argument apart. ‘Cos I’m actually less enthused about this than yesterday’s repetitive piano track.
Tim: Really? The backing’s there to enjoy, and the vocals are on top in case it gets boring, which it certainly never does.
Tom: Is that backing really a melody on its own, though? It just sounds like regular background synth playing to me – no special little riffs being repeated there, just chords.
Tim: Yes, but they’re decent chords – they’ve got energy, vibrancy, something which yesterday’s didn’t have.
Tom: But that doesn’t make… “piano-dance” or whatever you call this genre. The piano’s not taking the lead melody, or even echoing it – it’s just a bit of the backing.
Tim: Well, it’s there enough to be notable. Though, in a weird twist, towards the end of the song I think it almost gets a bit too much. Like I said yesterday, you either need a complex melody or something like a vocal, but here we’ve got both. I’d certainly like to hear an instrumental version, just to compare the two.
Tom: I’d like to hear something… more. And I wish I could quantify that.
