Fremde Geh'n Vorbei

By Jim Wood on July 31, 2014 4:20 pm

Vox: SackJo22 "On the Threshold," "My Open Heart" (http://ccmixter.org/people/SackJo22). M4L LFO modifying release times on a piano Simpler.

As Frank Sinata reputedly said, "I hate that fucking song."

Guys guys guys whats with the German?

Nice abstract groove with catchy vocal samples.

It's a line from the German version of the song. You know "Fremde in der Nacht," et al...

(forgot to quote you -- see above :-)

Cool vocal samples and funny how when I first heard it the bossa nova feel made me think of "The Girl from Ipanema".  A few googles later I'm listening to Frank Sinatra sing both songs smile  Thank you for the music lesson! Nice job!

absurdly nice degree of abstraction once again!

Thanks, guys. I swear I'll stop re-hashing musical history next week!

Intelligent music with a cool groove, love it. Superb track!

I love the mix and the sounds. Fantastic dynamic and great composition !

how odd, but neat

Very nice.  It's kind of like alien lounge music.  I dig the synth sound and the various samples as usual.

"strangers in the night" / "fremde in der nacht" ... funny, indeed! really nice treating/beating :-)

Yes, alien lounge music, exactly! I'll have to remember that.

Yeah, first it was an instrumental in a German film, then somebody wrote lyrics for Sinatra, then it got translated back into German. Und so Weiter.

Strangers in the track, exchanging phonemes.  Very nice!

And yet another set of lyrics :-)

This is nice and a tad bit unsettling. Cool use of the M4L LFO, too. Good work!

Thanks! Of all the M4L devices out there, the LFO has proved most useful.

This is really nifty Jim. I love how kind of "jazz from hell" it is. Few times do I find the word "quirky" to be applicable, but this is a time when I do. Wonderful.

First odd, then quirky! My work here is done...

Agreed with all the comments above. 'Jazz from Hell' really does come to mind too.
Great track!
