    this kind of thing really shows how much each part of the song really add
    id love to see a playlist of one song but with one piece removed each time
    like the first one is just the song
    then without the bass
    then without the guitar
    then without any of the electronic sounds
    then just the vocals
    and the just the vocals without any effects on
    and then a video of just each piece individually
    something like that would help people really understand the music instead of just observing it

      I'm sure some of the isolated multi tracks you can find were copied and leaked by someone who was trusted enough to be given access to the masters. When an analog recording is dusted off to be digitised or remastered, it would be tempting to make a copy for yourself and your buddies.
