Your New Favorite Song.
I have no reason, really, for uploading this track, other than the fact that it shouldn't work, but it does.
To subject The Band's "The Weight," with all its mythic American resonance, to the analog chill of the Moog synthesizer just seems plain wrong. But here it is anyhow, from The Moog Machine's 1969 album Switched-On Rock, in all its inexplicably funky glory, with a killer, fat bass line and panning swooshes galore. Bunuel and Christian redemption aside, only the melody remains.
Hear it. (3.4 mb)
