How Pop Songs Work

Post by fuzzpedal » Sun Mar 02, 2008 10:21 pm

Did anyone see the BBC program, How Pop Songs Work?

It's on BBC iPlayer at the moment.

It gets quite interesting towards the end when technology comes into the picture. It seems laughable at first when they talk of Cher's 'Believe' being revolutionary because of the excess use of auto-tune, but I guess it's these things which create a wider-spread interest in hearing more experimental production techniques and the kind of work most of people on this forum probably produce (presuming that's what you want).

Anyway, an interesting show. Would be interested in thoughts from anyone who has watched it.
