Radiohead's National Anthem

Im a huge fan of whatever you call that kind of horn
playing (the trombones and trumpets and all)...Ive heard it
before but don't know what to call it. Its sorta chaosy
sounding. I don't know if its a sub-genre of jazz or what.
Does anyone know what it would be called and where else
could you find this type of playing?

the jazz musicians who played those parts were asked to just
do it freeform mingus style (charles mingus) so you may want
to look into some mingus..i quite like his stuff, but i
don't know too much of it..i think one of the main
inspirations was the song "bird call"

That would be pretty amazing if someone could actually WRITE
that kind of playing. it would have to be...well...that
chance music style John Cage used. Be cool if it was all
thought out to be chaotic when in fact it was correct. that
would be far out sweet. i really wish i could write
something like that

Oh do i ever! and a guy named Steve Reich as well..whose
just as good. I like John better though.

John Cage:

Fontana Mix (1958) -- early form of noise music using radio
signals and chatter. think a less complicated Merzbow...a
bit less noisy

In a landscape (Anthony De Mare) -- A song by John Im
guessing played by Anthony. Very peaceful / slow piano
music...this is the epitome of the type of playing I enjoy.
It makes you think on stuff. Very beautiful.

Solo for flute, alto flute, piccolo -- Minimalism at its
best. Very slow...gotta pay attention when things happen.
It's a very quiet peice.

Quartet for 12 tom toms -- Minimalist drumming using the
above instruments. Kind of off sounding at times...very
erratic at others...seems spontaneous.

Three Dances -- This is a favorite of mine. this is where
John (or whomever played at the time) played on a 'prepared
piano'. Interesting sounds from the piano. Minimalist as
well.

Williams Mix (1952) -- something like Montana Mix.

---------------------

Steve Reich

Violin Phase -- GREAT GREAT peice of work. Very repetive
violin loops that start to phase out of one another. I think
4 violins play this...and they all don wonderous things with
a simple loop. To get everything sorted it out it took
roughly 15 min. It's sheer mathimatical brilliance! MUST
HAVE!

Piano phase -- same thing as violin phase but this one is
20-21 min long and i think 2 pianos play this one. Very
hypnotising. Again it's repetive but wonderous things
happen with beats as the song goes along... shifts all over
the place with a simple loop. Another must have of his
'phase' works.

Come out -- This track I believe is the one that caught his
attention for 'phase music'. He had two tapes going and
they suddenly went out of sync...and well the rest is
history. The phrase "Come out to show them" repeats at a
head nodding tempo and sterio pans out to both left and
right so it ends up that it seems the left speaker and the
right speaker are disconne

Same here funkmaster. i love the bassline so much...the best
ive ever heard!

BUM bum bum bum bumBUM bum bum bum bumBUM bum bum bum bumBUM
bum bum bum....

And then I like it when the drummer just starts wailing on
his cymbal as well!

Usually most bands that do this, them crashing the cymbal
comes off as unneffective. Ive only heard two songs that
'needed' them to wail on their cymbal and that is Ny Batteri
by Sigur Ros and The National Anthem by Radiohead

cymbal usage at the end!! :)

Cymbals are one of the most important aspects of music for
me... I notice them all the time, they can CHANGE a song for
me. I LOVE Pink Floyd's ride cymbals or something. I can't
explain. Yadda yadda yadda. Cymbals rule.

seriously though, Exit is one of the best songs they've
done... it's on The Joshua Tree, and it's very dark and
about suicide I believe... although I read it was just about
murder... it's a great song though that starts off really
slow and quite and builds to an amazing climax!!

Ross: It might be difficult listening i don't know. I
don't have problems with this kind of stuff so... I don't
know how you'll take it :/ hope you like them though.
