Small moments in music that make you go AAAAAAAAGH I LOVE THIS!

[non capisco]

'If I scream it I mean it, I hope you will understand me WOOOO!'

While we're on SFA, I've always loved the little 'ha ha!' Gruff does after the line "We're gonna vaporise your soul" on '(Drawing) Rings Around The World'.

[Phil_A]

Roxy's Editions Of You is basically Ferry doing this sort of thing for the whole song.

- "The crazy music drives you insane, this waaaaaaay!"

- "I heard those slinky sirens wail, WHOOO!"

- "And boys will be boys will be boy-oy-oys..."

[non capisco]

^ The bit in Eno's 'Dead Finks Don't Talk' when he sings one line in a sarky impression of Ferry.

[hedgehog90]

^ Oh you headless chicken
Can those poor teeth take so much kicking?

Fucking love that line.
And the mental ending.

Mogwai - Burn Girl Prom Queen.

When the brass section comes in at about 1:30.

The bit in Levi Stubbs' Tears around this verse:

Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong
Are here to make everything right that's wrong
Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too
Are here to make it all okay with you

[bgmnts]

Drum fills.

I fucking love drum fills.

[fucking ponderous]

Radiohead - 2 + 2 = 5 - The background vocals going "nahhhhhhhht" toward the end
XTC - Paper and Iron - The metallic sounds during the bridge
Fugazi - Nightshop - The handclaps at the climax of the song
Every moment where a band member screams on Mission of Burma's "Vs."

[fucking ponderous]

Kendrick Lamar - Wesley's Theory - "EVERYBODYGETOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT"

[a duncandisorderly]

the rhythm section on this- roxy were fortunate to need a bassist just when wetton was between jobs....

but the violin solo at the end. I don't think there's a better violin solo in all of recorded history.
eno? eno who?

Talking Heads - I'm Not in Love - The collapsing guitars that end the song: https://youtu.be/ms94bEkYm4o?t=4m16s

[VelourSpirit]

The chorus to Slowdive's Primal. It's like slowly tumbling into a deep and beautiful abyss.

Absolute amazing when Rachel Goswell comes in with the scream in the chorus. Tumbling into an abyss is a great way to describe it - once it hits the chorus it never relents, just keeps building and getting more intense. Funny how the band are so critical of Just for a Day because they rushed it - seriously think it's underrated.

Some that come to mind (I'll restrict myself to just one for Slowdive):

She Calls by Slowdive - https://youtu.be/nxWyR6JAjRs?t=228 when the climax hits at 3:53 and the aaaaaahhh ahhhh ahhhhs come in, and when you hear Goswell's subtle 'oooohs' becoming increasingly prominent

Academy Fight Song by Mission of Burma - https://youtu.be/DXkZI7WZWOo?t=29 the kind of feedback noise at 0:32, always thought it was such a sweet sort of melancholic sound

Unison by Björk - https://youtu.be/rgEhj4edj4Y?t=41 the bit that comes at 41 seconds, and then the rest of the song

[Clownbaby]

Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat by Death Grips

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y2cQvZPX3OY&t=101s

The possessed sounding rant at the start is insane and the wail before it starts getting proper noisy is one of my favourite Death Grips moments. Makes me wanna snort some ground up glass and punch a small boy

And I love the exact moment in Little Bird by White Stripes where Meg first starts drumming, really steady and threatening

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q1aEe26471U

And in Red Rain when the song goes quiet just before "if there is  a lie. .."

Drum fills.

I fucking love drum fills.

I think one of my favourites has to be around 1:07 in Mr. Bungle's The Air-Conditioned Nightmare, after the heavy noisy bit which bridges into the next verse. Something about it just screams demented and joyous, it's like a huge manic grin, and consequently that's exactly what it makes me do whenever I hear it.



As for other moments, a belting one which springs to mind is in the Slits' cover of Heard It Through The Grapevine. It's interesting that they decided to cynically cover Marvin Gaye's version of the lyrics, but what propels it to marvellous heights is when Ari Up sings "I know a man ain't supposed to cry" and adds a sneering "HAH!" at the end of it. I find that unbelievably fucking cool beyond belief, pretty much cementing it as my favourite cover song and one which I still think is the best recorded version.

As Word Up! Popped up in the TOTP thread, there's a bit around the 3 minute mark, and then about 10 seconds later of synthesised guitar that sounds almost like someone's trying to play an elastic band. It's great.

[Ferris]

Lanois' guitar solo on Dylan's Disease of Conceit.

The verse in Nothing Compares 2 U (Prince version obvs) with "I know that livin' with me mama was some kind'a haard"

The opening bass for the Waits version of Way Down in the Hole

Probably session keyboard player Merv De Peyer's Casio CZ-101 - Retrosound has a similar patch in his CZ-101 demo

Aye, that sounds about right, but with far less reverb, or at least it falling under the rest of it. It's the fact it's only in there a tiny bit that makes it great.

1:36 - 1:50 in this:

[buttgammon]

In Philip Glass' Akhnaten, there is a bit where the narration on the demise of this great city ends and immediately gives way to one of those swirling, Glassian orchestrations.

[Phil_A]

The part in the bridge of "Skipping" by The Associates when Billy lapses into a Sean Connery impression - "Maaaaarveloushhhh!"

[flotemysost]

At the very end of Sweet Charity by Mr. Bungle, just as it's fading out, the 'da da da da' vocal switches melody ever so slightly and sounds a bit, I don't know, wistful - it's a tiny thing, but I remember hearing it for the first time and just knowing I was going to be in for a treat with the rest of the album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ldh04Olynrw

[Darles Chickens]

In It's Not Me by Supergrass, the final anguished delivery of Now it's goooone around the 1:30 mark always gives me goose bumps.  And before that when the organ comes in on the second verse.  Fuck it, the whole song is brilliant.

Something about that clip that has always bothered me.  Is Ferry wearing Group Captain ranks tabs on his shirt, or two Flight Lieutenant ranks tabs stuck together?  You never get a decent look. 

[SpiderChrist]

The Jam's Boy About Town - The bit where Weller sings "there's more than you can hope for in this world" and Buckler plays a crescendo on the snare and then the horns kick in - love it.
