Poxa, muito obrigado por essa captura e postagem. Ótima qualidade de som e imagem, há muito tempo q não tínhamos nada de imagem com qualidade dessa banda lendária. Que venham para o Brasil o quanto antes!! 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥
Øyvind demonstrated here that he was the best vocalist for Arcturus after Garm's departure. With him, the band would have been significantly improved. I was disappointed that they chose Vortex, who behaves somewhat like a clown and comes across as foolish. Thanks for sharing this unique performance.
I hate to say it, but I agree. I loved Vortex on the Chaos path, but the overall aesthetic of the band with the circus schtick just is exacerbated by Vortex stomping around like dorky troll. I love Arcturus, especially Masquerade Infernal and Aspera Heims, but there later work doesn't move the dial for me as much.
The title is a bit misleading as it isn't really the invention of scratching as a musical art form, whoever invented it, and even though he does some at the end and even though it involves moving the record by touching it back and forth. He may be the first guy to have used this technique for some DJ purposes, idk, and idk if he invented scratching (I heard it was Grand Wizard Theodore). Scratching is mostly about using the record as an improvisational percussive instrument, this is not really the topic here. BUT what this video really is about - and it's very cool because it's the only video (I found) on yt of someone showing and explaining this - is the technique to isolate what's called the "break"(>break-beat) of a song (when all musicians stop except the drummer who keeps playing the (usually funk) beat alone, which was pretty common in early 70s funk songs, James Brown's for example) and especially how to make this break-beat last indefinitely by having two copies of the same record playing the same part of the song alternately (the DJ rewinding one to the beginning of the break, muted with the mixer while the other is playing it) !!! Why making it last ? Because at NYC early 70s block parties, this was the part people and especially dancers would love, go crazy on, and dance to, that's why they started being called break-dancers and how that dance form was born. James Brown himself loved that type of drumming and that's why he would order those breaks to the band as we can hear him say to his drummer Clyde Stubblefield on the song "Funky Drummer" (sampled many many times) : "You don't have to do no solo, brother, you just keep what you got, 'cause it's a mother !". JB didn't know what he was originating by doing this. Later, hip-hop DJs/producers/beatmakers would sample a lot of those breaks as drum loops on their records and add other musical samples (for example a jazz piano taken from the intro of a song where the pianist plays alone and looped just like the drums, or a bass, or a whole band etc.), that sort of "cut and paste/patchwork" process that got hip-hop music the sound it has or had (getting a 1970s soul/funk drummer to play with a 1920s Louis Armstrong on House of Pain's song "Back from the dead", two pretty happy sounding music 50 years apart, joined together to make a pretty dark and raw 90s hip-hop atmosphere ! I believe DJ muggs did this, whose typical sound/style, heard on this song as well, is often characterized by sampling an upright bass and having dark atmospheres through his sample choices, listen to Cypress Hill !). On top of which a rapper/MC would rap. So, this video is actually kind of showing the musical idea and technique that started hip-hop culture (except for graffiti) !!!
Gente comparando Watchtower con bandas que se influenciaron directamente en los primeros discos de Watchtower, es muy cómico como funciona internet hoy en día.
Ja ja ja ja, así es. Está lleno de ignorantes, estúpidos e irrespetuosos. Watchtower son los padres de todo lo metal progresivo que se escucha actualmente. Los pioneros, los creadores del estilo .... GENIOS
Im watchtower fan since the 80s.. And now im 55 and love younger guys are now doing music like this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pFKSiOkRzb4.html
