Tango In The Night (Demo)

[Fleetwood Jack]

So, what does everyone think?

I thought it was...uh...interesting???


What was up with his chipmunked voice and all of that bluesy "ooh-oohey" crap. I kid. I actually really liked it.

It may just be my ears, but is it different than the demo Richard Dashut leaked last year? I think it is because my favorite part was when the drums, instead of sounding like actual drums, was Lindsey going "Uh" and "Ooh". I was somewhat disappointed to not hear that, because it was entertaining to say the least; but the chipmunk voice more than makes up for that.


Just a side note, I was listening to another favorite artists of mines album, "Hounds Of Love" by Kate Bush, and when I head the demo of "Tango In The Night" I was kinda surprised with all of the similarities to Kate Bush.

So "Tango" was already my favorite Fleetwood Mac album, but after hearing the similarities to Kate Bush I love it even more.


Anyway, say what you think about the new demo/single/song/thingy. I will see you in the comments!

Also, if anyone maybe has the link to the version Richard Dashut leaked, could you please post the link. I really, really, really liked how cheap that version sounded compared to the glossy album version. Cheaps a mean weird, but you get what I mean. I just liked how it sounded like it was being played in a garage, which it very well could've been.

[MikeVielhaber]

I've heard the Dashut one. Where's this other one?

[Fleetwood Jack]

If you have Spotify or ITunes, they released as a single for the new "Tango In The Night" reissue that's coming out in March.

Oh, my. I love it. No mutating fade out. Open. Dark. Playful. And That deep humming groundtone. Fabulous. Go Insane track. Sheez so much better.

I always thought the production style of the Tango In The Night album sounded like it was influenced by Kate's Hounds of Love album. I wonder if he was into Kate Bush at the time. Listen to Big Love and Running Up That Hill back to back, for example.

[Jondalar]

Tango in the Night should have been released as single. That is a great song.

Wow, I love this, too!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

(Did I say thank you?)



That was quite a nice surprise, thank you.

Yeah, I was really surprised by it. I think I remember reading him saying that Kate Bush and Laurie Anderson's sound sort of had an influence on "Go Insane". So I guess it could have had an influence on good old "Tango".

wow. so true.

I listened on Spotify and I like his "chipmunk" voice. lol

[lbfan]

While I prefer the version that Dashut posted, one can hear the Go Insane era of sound in both versions. It also demonstrates how much further Lindsey continued to push the sound envelope during the recording process of the album. While I don't care for the vocals in the iTunes version, I like that Lindsey experimented with his voice during the recording process looking for the best possible sound. A true musical genius (1% inspiration, 99% perspiration).

[MusicInferno]

Very interesting.
Love the harmonies during and after the chorus!

[shackin'up]

I love the demo's from songs where he is still searching for melody and lyrics. He has lyrics for a chorus here, and just records his weird mimicks with here and there a real word. His demo's are treasures.

You hit the nail on the head. Exactly.
On another note. I don't see the demo as that far out from the song. I must admit that I read many of the comments about the demo first and was expecting something totally out of left field. It was an easy connection to see how this rough beginning of the song was born and then transformed into the cut on the album. I was sort of hoping to hear an alternative version of the song. Something he changed over time.

Well, he changed the lyrics drasticly. And the melody, phrasing of the chorus. And the most richening: he didn't Fade out the solo. Which is unforgivable on the definite version.
