    This song has a different vibe when it's not played over thundercat vomiting and shooting himself on the balls dressed as a sayan warrior

    • @chocolate91
      @chocolate91 7 лет назад +14

      The engineer mixed their sound as if they were a Kenny G. smooth jazz band, when Thundercat's overall sound is experimental/jazz-fusion/electronica.,. Not trying to shit on the engineer, but there's a way of mixing different styles of genres. And this mix didn't fit this genre.

    • @chocolate91
      @chocolate91 7 лет назад +3

      If you listened to other live performances of this song, the drums are a bit open and out, and not heavy. I think the isolation panel over the kit may have dampened the tones a bit too much.
