Township Rebellion - Rage Against the Machine (Composers React)

Good deep selection, Ben. First time that successfully fused funk, rap, rock, and intense social consciousness into something powerful. Those tempo changes are still epic. This landed when I was in university, so it hit me later, but I agree with you both: Holds up phenomenally well after all these years. I only hate that the lyrics are still relevant and that we're still fighting all the same battles all over again.

Ah nice one, man. You’re band on here. Man, that must have been such an amazing time, landing when you were at university!

I like to play Spot That Keyboard. I see a couple of Dave Smith’s synths and a Fender Rhodes. But, I can’t figure out what’s in front of the keyboard player. A Schmidt Synth? Early impression: rhythm vs. melody. Popular music has both, but tends to emphasize one at the expense of the other. Is that what this podcast will explore?

What? What is this? I'm gonna need to watch this. Hmmm.

Nice flashback, the sound is from picking on the guitar head stock (a string) rather than the normal…
