"walk on by" by isaac hayes. discuss. personally i can name VERY few compositions that come anywhere close to this amazing piece of music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no one? isaac hayes is a brilliant and completely underrated composer. i challenge anyone to listen to "walk on by" in all of its 12 minutes of genius and refute my claim. go ahead and put it up against any song; it'll meet it and most likely blow it away. |

i like "walk on by" cover version by the stranglers |
||||||||
|

I haven't heard it... |

Clubbed to Death by Rob Dougan is the greatest piece of music ever. IMNSHO. Marlowe, did you read my "this is irritating" thread? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
downloading now... thanks for the heads up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
For the heads up, I will give you a heads up to paul simon's "Diamonds on the soles of her shoes." It is one of my favorite pieces. Are you surprised I didn't recommend Pat Metheny...? Maybe next time. |

Titsworth: Sorry...I cant come up with a better one ;=) I just love that song!!! one of the best songs ever, theres made like 50 hip hop tracks out of that one. The original is still the best one tho. Have u heard Wu Tangs version, very uncreative imo they just took the beat (u got to chop that to pieces n make something orginal out of it me think)....Ghost and RZA still ripped it tho (most people hate the Ghost crying on that track but I actually like it). So im afraid I cant challenge u Tits...I cant come up with a stronger track (Isaac got so much influence on everyone whos nvolved with hip hop n musci in general). |

Isaac Hayes is a amazing and very underrated composer imo. He got a nice voice too just peep South Park ;) He made some of the nicest soul pieces in history. DAM!!! he made some GREAT IMPACT!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think the production is his strongest side tho, I still love his voice but theres some brothers with better voice like Ottis Redding, Marvin Gaye etc SHAFT!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i prefer hayes' voice to gaye (not exactly the same style tho). but yea, isaac hayes: incredible voice (singing and voice acting), great arranger, composer, and producer. he's just one of the most important and influential musicians of our time, without a doubt. as for the wu joint, i love it - very passionate performance from the clan, perhaps the highlight of the w album. at first i hated on it cos rza really didn't do anything with the sample except loop it, but it's almost a sacred song, i can't imagine it being remixed really. and they made up for the lack of creativity by having hayes get on it and sing some new stuff. get the jelly out of your spine, cobwebs out of your mind! |

i do love walk on by dearly, however, i really think the look of love eclipses it. furthermore, i think the dead presidents soundtrack is one of the best soundtracks ever |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so what do you think makes it such a brilliant composition? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dozier where did that BRILLIANT Outkast avatar go????!?!??!?! *just walk on by* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, i don't like to be too stagnant, ya know? besides, i was curious to see if anyone noticed what my new one was from... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hummm thats gonna be hard......upside down car and a person in RED running down steps toward it.....i see lots O movies, but i can't say i've seen that image....any hints w/o giving it away (ps i gotcha with the Outkast avy....i just love those d00ds!) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

|
it's snow... it's from a movie... this movie is tangentially linked to scarface. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn......okies.....lemmie STEW a while and see if it comes to me. this is kinda fun....ehhehe snow.....and an accident....and a person in red.....hummmmm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
<3 <3 <3 Yeah. The way it builds and builds and builds and the wocka-wocka guitar, and the monologue at the start and the cool guitar riff thing that reminds me a little bit of Maggot Brain by Funkadelic and GODDAMMIT EVERYONE SHOULD OWN THIS TRACK. Plus it's one of the coolest album covers ever. ahem. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is that avatar from Fargo? No it isn't. I GODDAM KNOW THIS |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know i'm DYING here......damn fargo's a good guess.....but how 8 degrees of separation work with that movie and SCARFACE!!?!?!?!?? keep trying! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
!! yes, it is fargo. i guess the scarface thing just hurt rather than helped. now you can guess what the link is or i suppose i could just tell you. (it's not a very substantial link in all honesty) |
||||||||

Love this song... there are no good isaac hayes collections out there.. dead presidents vol1/2? I absolutely looooathe that "I can't go to sleep" song.. so goddamn lazy .. and sloppy.. I give rza no credit for that. I hat those late-era screaming/crying styles that rza and ghost got into there... that song had been sampled too many times (and that particular section, for that matter) for that to be considered a great work .. the whole W thing was a disaster.. but yeah. I love "Walk on By".. he has a lot of great songs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heheheh damn thats a GREAT guess!!! congrats! okies.....tell us (ME) the linky.....i was thinking of all the movies Pacino's been in.....heheheh rascal....but that was FUN! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||

I've only seen the movie once O_o I just thought snow (and more importantly cooooold cos tonight is the first properly cold night of autumn here) and then it was the first thing popped into my head. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
personally I think Bobby Womack's "Across 110th Street" is the most amazing song, R'n'B Soul, what ever you wanna call it. So lush and deep. Incredible arrangement and orchestration. |
||||||||
|

underworld - banstyle/sappy's curry /\ as far as ambient electronic is concerned, I don't think anything will beat this, I will get this isaac hayes track |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree. I AGREE!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

oh, tragedy... you dl'ed that books cd? great! i hope youll love it!!!! |

haven't heard the Isaac Hayes song... but the best piece of music as far as I'M concerned, and this is only my humble opinion, is Passion by Peter Gabriel... I sound like a broken record probably, but nothing comes close to that for me in terms of quality of music, melody, percussion, emotional response, and visual quality... it just works on so many levels for me, always takes me away to some desert landscape, and drags me through a whole spectrum of emotions finally ending in a hopeful uplifting way... nothing beats it in my mind!! and for people who haven't heard it, don't be put off just because it's by Peter Gabriel... you don't have to like his poppy stuff to like this... this is totally different from anything (well, except The Long Walk Home released last year) that he has done... it's very much like an electronic album, with lots of synths and great percussion, but the percussion is more organic and ethnic to the middle eastern countries the music is trying to convey... and there are vocals, but no words really... it's just great music... my favorite album! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for me the greatest album of the 20th century is Marvin Gaye "Here, My Dear" key tracks "when did you stop loving me..." "anger" "annas song" "is that enough" and "time to get it together" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the story behind the album just adds to the whole vibe of the album. he's just so bitter and pissed off about anna gordy. a very emotional album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i figured someone bumped this thread to say the greatest piece of music of the 20th century is some autechre song teapot, is that gil-scott heron? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ill have to download the track...thanks. |

i thought dionne warwick sung it first |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the stranglers version IS excellent :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
she did, it's a warwick-bacharach composition.. they made a legendary team huh. my favorite dionne warwick song is "anyone who had a heart", it's fun to sing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the greatest song of the twentieth century is definitely vletrmx21 ;p actually, its radiohead - lucky for me, but to each his own. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The greatest song of the 20th century is, um, something by Jim O'Rourke, I guess.. |
