Sometimes musical memories long lost emerge to the surface of my conciousness .... sometimes they stay just below ...
I vaguely remember a tune from late 70s or early 80s (79-82 is best guess) .... could be weather report or Steve winwood or someone completely unrelated ... the characteristic that I remember is that the verse and the chorus had different tempo but the drummer kept the high-hat going in the same tempo in both parts so that it (probably) had the effect that he played 5/4 (or 7/4) on top of 4/4 on one of the parts.
Can anybody remember such a tune ???
could you hum it for us
ha !!!
I'll try to find the casette I had it on (that might take some weeks ;D ) and rip it
Can't think of any Stevie Winwood songs with any change of speed.... Arc of a Diver, Valerie, Higher Love...
Can you even remember a word or two from the song?
The only one with actual time signature changes from that era -that I can remember- is Golden Brown (Stranglers)

I've checked out all steve winwood and WR songs I have (and youtubed some) without luck ... I just remembered that those artist were on the same casett and
could have done such a thing.
I can't even remember if there were words on the tune (tho I think it was)
Poly-what? ;D
puh .... found it, it was Steve Winwood !!!!
It's from his 1977 album "Steve Winwood", song named "Luck's in". Couldn't find a youtube of it but there's a snippet on his homepage:

I would not have guessed it from your description Geir.... but worth a listen again for sure, great album. ;D
I think I must get that album on CD, only got a couple of the songs on a well-worn cassette. It is a great album!
But the description is fairly accurate, right? I'm not good at rhythms but it sounds like 5/4 on top of 4/4 to me!
What? a chorus and a verse?
and a tune you can hum?
Ain't got a clue mate....
