The Police, for the upset! Well, it's no upset yet, that makes it 3 all. I would only call it a minor upset though, Every Breathe You Take is a very strong song. Next vote is a winner! |

*Yawns and wakes up* Huh? What? It's over? Jackson wins. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Another decent match up. Phil Collins - In The Air TonightThe means by which Collins attained the much-praised sound of the plain radio on this recording was long a source of mystery. Clearly, some compressing or gating was used. The exact process was, as happens so often, a result of serendipity: an unintended use of studio technology giving unexpectedly useful results. In this case, the Solid State Logic 4000 mixing board had a "reverse talk-back" circuit (labeled on the board as "Listen Mic"). Normal "talkback" is a button that the mixing engineer has to press in order to talk to the recording musicians (the recording and the mixing parts of a studio are completely sonically isolated otherwise). Reverse talkback is a circuit (also button-activated) for the engineer to listen to musicians in the studio. In order to compensate for sound level differences — people can be close to the reverse talkback microphone or far off — this circuit has a compressor on it, which minimizes the differences between loud and soft sounds. While recording "Intruder" for his ex-bandmate Peter Gabriel's solo album, at some point Collins started playing the drums while the reverse talkback was activated. The engineers and his friend Jefrey were amazed at the sound achieved. Overnight, they rewired the board so that the reverse talkback could be recorded in a more formal manner. Later models of the SSL 4000 allowed the listen mic to print to tape with the touch of a button.[2] When Collins' engineer Hugh Padgham was brought in to help develop Collins' demos that would become Face Value they recreated the "Intruder" sound using the reverse talkback microphone as well as heavily compressed and gated ambient mics. Hugh Padgham continued working with Genesis for Abacab later in 1981 and the same technique (generally referred to as Gated reverb) was used, and the powerful drum sound has become synonymous with later Genesis projects and Collins' solo career ever since. Vs. Modern English - Melt With You"I Melt with You" is a song by the British post-punk/New Wave band Modern English. The song, produced by Hugh Jones, was a single from the 1982 album After the Snow. While never reaching the Top 40 (its highest position was #76, which it reached with a July 1990 rerelease), the song gained popularity due to its airplay on MTV in early 1983 and its inclusion in the movie Valley Girl. The band re-recorded it in 1990 for their album Pillow Lips. |

Phil Collins wins a very close match, right before a flood of Melt With You votes come in. --------------------------------------------------------------- So can Phil do it again? Phil Collins - Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)"Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)" is a song originally written and recorded by British singer Phil Collins. The song was the main theme for the 1984 film Against All Odds, and first appeared on its soundtrack. It is a ballad in which its protagonist implores his/her ex-lover to "take a look at me now", knowing that reconciliation is "against all odds" but worth a try. It has been covered by several artists. Vs. Prince - Purple RainThe emotional lyrics have multiple meanings; on the surface, they seem to be an apology from a man who has been carrying on an illicit love affair with a woman who already has a boyfriend; though on a deeper level, they become more of a spiritual allegory. It is a theory that "Purple Rain" is a metaphor for heaven, inspired by the testimonies of a woman who died on the operating table that the afterlife is full of falling purple rain.[ |
