Now if you add heavy amounts of goove or change the master tempo, as long as the slices are big enough (1/8 plus) the swing to the audio your hear will start to sound 'wrong'. It takes skill to make it then sound wrong but wrong in a way you like.
You've hit the nail on the head there man. It's getting the wrong to sound right that is the difference between amateur and genius.

Nice post.

just listened to "Los Angeles" in it's entirety. Had 1983 for a while but slept on getting this one....whoa. Right up my alley, loved every minute of it. Def. needs to be listened to front to back though.

... this is what I strive for in my music ...is to create 'complete' pieces...
