Listen to "Climax" by Slum Village.

― Johnny Badlees (crispssssss), Sunday, 3 August 2003 01:20 (twenty-three years ago)

distorted guitars intertwining like tom verlaine and richard lloyd's, or carrie brownstein and corin tucker's, or steve clark and phil collen's.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 3 August 2003 01:31 (twenty-three years ago)

RE: "Climax"--you talking bout the ascending notes in the background during the chorus? If so, me agree.

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 3 August 2003 01:36 (twenty-three years ago)

the squeak of fingers on roundwound strings.

I like Paul McCartney's comment in (I think) the Beatles Anthology documentary where he says he instantly loves anyone who plays ukulele.

it would be todd edwards except for the slightly rugged beats

Early 80s synths. Pretty much any.

the sound that i think simon reynolds calls the oscillator riff that is present in the following 3 records

djs unite - djs unite
blame - music takes you
urban shakedown - some justice

― gareth (gareth), Sunday, 3 August 2003 22:40 (twenty-three years ago)

it most certainly will NOT be sax.

Al Green's voice. close runner-up: the washy-sounding synth used on The Belle Album

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 4 August 2003 06:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Any variation on the "Funky Drummer" riff.

Even tho' I'm an big electronic music buff, I'll have to say Baden Powell's wordless vocals.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 4 August 2003 09:01 (twenty-three years ago)

As well as the custom marimbas the Brazilian band Uakti plays.

Actually, Brazilian jazz/bossa nova/MPB has the loveliest sounds outside of electronic music.
