      @@ngochoangao5740 Yeah, they often enhance things for movies. The theme tune from 'Chapo' is the same way: they removed some of the softer guitars, boosted the bass guitar, added compression, and even substituted the snare drum to give the track a whole different feel. Also, in Antebellum, they're sitting in a car, so the sound designer always has to consider the setting first, and then work the melody into it.

      +mjcoombe Great job with this video. I thought, at first, was the official one by The Normal.
      See what you may do with The Normal's "T.V.O.D." and perhaps with "Semolina," "Krafty Cheese," or something else by The Residents (who make Devo seem like The Carpenters by comparison).
      I think perhaps the film "Koyaanisqatsi" would already reflect the style (and has a soundtrack by Phillip Glass anyway), but you could try to see what you may do with Kraftwerk's "Trans-Europe Express"or perhaps one of the tracks from K'werk's "Radio Activity."
      Even though I am more of a garage (New York Dolls-Ramones-Rolling Stones) rock & roll and Phil Spector pop music fan, every now and then I get this urge to hear some more artful noise. The now (sadly) late Mr. David Bowie, of course, was often a perfect combine of the two.
