There may have been a thread along these lines...

The second one is the most famous example of this, or well known for it.

In b4

Mars - Holst
Money - Pink Floyd
River Man - Nick Drake
Go to Sleep - Radiohead
Mission Impossible Theme - Lalo Schifrin

All have unusual time signatures.

Ooh, nearly....

4/5

And I'm looking for a more precise answer... 'you could turn things around and see the connection'.

Post

Some jazz would be nice...

... a bit of time out.

Money is not in 5/4. It's in 7/4.

Anyone fancy a pint?

:oops: yes, you're absolutely right. Bugger, I thought I had checked them all!

Oh well...

And the missing track is?

Yes, that's not the quartet I was after.

Anyway, after my embarrassing fuxup, it's probably best to move swiftly on and hand over to Fex.

I thought you wanted explanations?

As a fellow pedant, I feel your pain. Still.... SUFFER!
hakey wrote:The 1st of my last question.
Mars, the Bringer of War - Gustav Holst (mainly 5/4 with two episodes of 5/2 in bars 95-109 and 167-71, and a 14-bar coda in 3/4)

The answer to your last question was "The Planets", [pedantry]this is the correct title according to Wikipedia,[/pedantry] the first movement of which is Mars.

Money - Pink Floyd (predominantly in 7/4)
The far side of the moon was first seen by the Apollo 8 crew in 1968. "The Dark Side of the Moon" is, of course, a classic Pink Floyd album, and Money is the first track on the second side of the original release.

River Man - Nick Drake (5/4)
"Flower" can be defined as something that flows, such as a river. River Man is the second listed song from Nick Drake's 1969 album "Five Leaves Left".

Go to Sleep - Radiohead (10/4)
Radiohead is, indeed, a quintet.
hakey wrote:Yes, that's not the quartet I was after.
I don't believe you. :p

Mission: Impossible Theme - Lalo Schifrin (5/4)
Of course, if you had made me explain this, I would have had to travel all the way from Bangkok to Teh greatness of Yorkshire with an army of disgruntled Red-shirts and siege weapons.
hakey wrote:And the missing track is?
I didn't even know there was a missing track, but I was about to say Take Five, honest injun.

All present and correct, apart from:
The Fex wrote:Radiohead is, indeed, a quintet.
hakey wrote:Yes, that's not the quartet I was after.
I don't believe you.
Well, of course you can believe what you like, but the quartet I was after was the Dave Brubeck Quartet - hence the use of 'quartet' in the clue and the jazz reference above.

Anyway, I get the feeling that continued discussion regarding my, admittedly poorly researched, and thus flawed question, would likely be at the risk of further inflaming your pedanticitis, so if you've got a new poser...

woops - weird double post
