Name that Choon

I have an instrumental track on a tape.

I no longer have the track listing.

For a variety of reasons I can no longer enquire as to the name of the track from the creator of the tape.

Due to the instrumental nature of the track I can't do a lyrics search. (My normal method).

So, without further ado: NAME THE TRACK (2.91Mb)

Anyone recognise this?

Heh.

I don't think we can blame Ogg Vorbis for the quality of the recording.

The original recording was already clipping. That tape has been through the wars and is stretched. When I rigged up a tape deck to re-digitise it it got clipped even more. I sampled it at a really low bit rate and the converted it to the smallest OGG I could.

As a recording, the OGG sounded better that the raw WAV.

(Scary innit?)

Looks like it did what it needed to tho.

(Oh and I prefer to rip in VBR OGG over any other lossy format. They just sound smoother. I know that's because the frequencies are being subtly distorted. Subtly distorted is not a problem as far as I can see. People pay an absolute fortune to build Valve amps to get subtly distorted music that sounds "warmer" than a modern low distortion Transistor amp.)
