@@bengal2441 yup. Another example. Eminem doesn't have the best voice but I can't listen to Without Me without hearing his vocals even though the instrumental is good
the vocals are also very simple, most of them are just the same notes, for example, in this entire part: Breathing in the dark Lying on it's side The ruins of the day Painted with a scar And the more I straighten out The less it wants to try The feelings start to rot One wink at a time there is only one note in this entire part.

Makes me embrace happiness, despair, awe and madness at the same time. Maybe, 'cause it lurks at the end of this road of both flashes (winks) of happiness and despair.
This songs instrumental had always felt like religion, war, peace, sadness, happiness, hatred, love, anger, acceptance, emptiness and completion all at once and I still could never comprehend why that is.
the reject mdernity videos maybe, but this music itself just feels like that to me, it makes me feel like gigachad for the fact i aint falling for most things that modernity is embracing and ideolozing.

I had every intention to sing a cover of this song, and now I have the perfect backing music for it. :3 Now I can practice! And, maybe what I'll do, is work the MIDI file into an Ocarina Of Time sound font.
Shout out to the guy who (re)did the instrumental as close as he could !!! It's the same track with the same synths, bass and leads and everything. It's just the mix kinda sounds like "nowadays" and little bit dry/cold (especially the drum kit) so it's really like the track have been made 2 years ago. Anyway total respect to the producer who has make me still feel the same feelings as the original
Holy cow man this is really impressive. Hats off. Back in 2010 I posted some MGMT instrumental covers for Kids, Flash Delirium, It’s Working and The Youth. I thought I had done a decent job but your mastery of those synths takes it to another dimension. Love your work on Beach House and Daft Punk too!
How did you achieve the legato glide during the verses at 0:25? I'm struggling to figure out how to achieve that sound when playing this track. Is it merely a mono synth in legato mode? Does it have any portamento?
It is indeed just a mono patch with legato, so that notes played overlapping don't retrigger the filter envelope. There's no portamento/glide. It can be tricky to get the legato right when playing it live but easier to do when editing the MIDI tracks in the piano roll.
@@ReverbMachine Thank you! I've been able to recreate it quite closely. Just came back from the article on your website. Also, may I suggest that the synth used for the bass in this song is not the Polysix but rather the Mono/Poly? It shows up in the music video, and it seems capable enough to do the job.
@@gasolineandwine I have a MonoPoly and they don't have stereo outputs so they can't create wide stereo unison plucks like the one in this song. I think they probably used something more modern!
makes me feel as the years go by, and everyone currently social media is dead, all videos currently around fade into obscurity and a large history of early 21st century humanity is forgotten, then someone 200 years from now find this video.
This is a great idea and very well done. I love the vocal version, but my favorite electronic music is instrumental, because it places more focus on the sounds. Subscribed.

One wink at a time
Oh oh
Forgiving who you are
For what you stand to gain
Just know that if you hide
It doesn't go away
When you get out of bed
Don't end up stranded
Horrified with each stone
On the stage
My little dark age
Picking through the cards
Knowing what's nearby
The carvings on the face
Say they find it hard
And the engine's failed again
All limits of disguise
The humor's not the same
Coming from denial
Oh oh
I grieve in stereo
The stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide
It doesn't go away
If you get out of bed
And find me standing all alone
Open-eyed
Burn the page
My little dark age
(Dark age, dark age, dark age)
I grieve in stereo
The stereo sounds strange
You know that if it hides
It doesn't go away
If I get out of bed
You'll see me standing all alone
Horrified on the stage
My little dark age
Giddy with delight
Seeing what's to come
The image of the dead
Dead ends in my mind
Policemen swear to God
Love's seeping from the guns
I know my friends and I
Would probably turn and run
If you get out of bed
Come find us heading for the bridge
Bring a stone
All the rage
My little dark age
I grieve in stereo
The stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide
It doesn't go away
If you get out of bed
And find me standing all alone
Open-eyed
Burn the page

Probably cause 80s toms lol
Dude, you should check out the slowed&reverb version of this song. It sounds very 80's with a grungy vibe, kinda reminds me of Joy Division too
It's synth pop/synthwave. A.k.a the genre that was called 'New Wave' in the '80s.
I like this part so much that I did a looped version with only this part.
