A weird (PSB related) experiment going unexpectedly well!

#1 Post by Oznerol »

Few day ago I had a very crazy idea, and I tried it without any hope... but incredibly... it worked!
Taking the moments from the BBC documentary "Now & Then" when Neil plays the demo cassettes at full speed in fast-forward, and playing those moments at a very very very slow speed... you can actually recognize the music behind that annoying noise!!!!
Of course in very low quality, not useful for enjoyment, but they can be recognized!
You can listen to Bubadubadum (a very long segmnent, almost two minutes), One More Chance, the ending of Opportunities Bobby O version, Jealousy demo and only in one short segment sounds something that I can't figure out what it is, and for that reason I don't even know what the correct speed is to adjust it correctly.
I think I can recognise a distorted voice saying "wat´s that - what´s that" on it, like on one on the segments Neil press play, so maybe its another (very different) part of that unreleased tune, but just guessing.
This is not my signature.

What a great idea! Nice thinking.
