I took a listen to the original track ...

 

... absolutely dreadful. Was it made by AI? It might as well have been.

Sounds like most of the "modern" music on our overhead system at work.  I'd rather hear anything the system plays from the previous century, all the way back to the 50s, than just about anything it plays from this one. (I don't know much about most music but I can hear the way things are mixed/etc and the sounds and the type of vocals and guess which side of the time border they came from). 

 

I'm tempted to try a remix of that so it would be so totally different that I wouldn't want to stab my brain having to hear it over and over again while doing it.

 

Maybe mix it up with some Elven like the piece I did here (that is a <1minute section out of Behind You Lie Many Unseen):

You are clearly unaware how much ungodly levels of shitty pop music were made in the 1950s (and every decade since). You have benefited from the Great Filter called 'Time'. Trust me on this - my family ran a vintage / memorabilia shop that played an endless rotation of records for this era - not the hits - just random crap. 99% of it is nightmarishly awful and all sounds the same. Like being stuck in a David Lynch movie set in an apocalyptic 60s white-suburban wasteland that might rival Pleasantville.

Adding to this - AI created pop music would have been extremely easy in the 1950s and most of the 1960s, since record labels essentially just took whatever song was popular and would sign 10,000 other bands to try and recreate that same sound...over and over and over and over again. Literally 1000s of **albums** of nonsense replicas in what were maybe (maybe) 3 genres. At least today you get EDM, trap, Afrobeat, Dancehall, Reggaeton, hip-hop, folk-pop, K-pop, RnB, alt-RnB, alt rock, pop-punk, indie pop, Latin Pop, Synthwave, Electro-pop, and on and on. There are times lately when the billboard 100 is almost half filled with world music.

Having said that - the linked KSHMR song is terrible, even by KHSMR standards. Dude's made some decent club tracks, and is quite a good producer, but ya, this track is *****.

Yes, yes I am.    And proud of it.  

 

 I avoid listening to anything at all if I can help it, to let the stuff always in my head do it's thing instead (so much of it is lost because of the world outside).  

I have no choice about the overhead at work; if I could I'd disconnect all the speakers from the "music" system and leave just the pager. 

 

I doubt anything I do is any better, but...I do it anyway.
