That thing's a work of Zen art. Don't mess with it.

IMHO YMMV.

I like Sugarland, I like most of what I call Nashville Alternative.However, I was not aware that Sugarland had hit "Art" status.

We're working up Tainted Love...same metre, but no keys. Crunchy guits, instead. We'll see how both of these ideas of ours work out, huh?

Cherie

I think doing a turn on Tainted Love is an awesome idea.

I still have some ideas on The Byrds Mr.Tamborine Man and Kicks by The Raiders.

They haven't but, that arrangement has.

I think the sparseness of it is what makes it unique and different.

I agree, I wonder how long it took them to decide to go with just vocals and guitar.

[tycobb73]

and keys. they fill it out more than you think

[Steve]

Agreed. I doubt that just happened. I bet somebody agonized over exactly where the swells were and rode the fader the whole time on that mix down.

With an arrangement like that, you gotta look at every single note and judge it for appropriateness and perfection. There is ZERO to hide behind.

Wow! And a techno dance breakdown.

How much more crap can you shove into one tune?

Just mind blowing.
