1) It is rare to come across a band that can straddle that vast canyon between serial debauch and fierce, exacting professionalism. The Works from Stockholm, Sweden, however are just such a band and they come over like young goggle-eyed virtuosos from some weird Scandinavian conservatoire where ergot, as well as hours of practice, is on the curriculum. How apt then that lead singer/guitarist Andreas began The Works with rhythm guitarist Martin while both were attending the Stockholm School of Music. Six years later (and after a couple of line-up changes) they've consolidated a quintet, all of whom are individually singer/songwriters who play many instruments, hence the depth and intricacy of their sound. Even drummer Johan, who possesses the clattering bombast of a Keith Moon, dedicated 2 whole years of his young life to studying drumming in Cuba. Musically they're saturated in many influences and yet there's something much bigger in there, something unnamable, some element that's hard-wired into their psychically-linked nervous systems. The Works are transcending their influences, becoming more themselves and no one else. Take the Nordic acid test and jack up on The Works. Guest musicians on this tasteful Swedish psychedelic pop rock classic includes Mattias Gustavsson, Reine Fiske and Johan Holmegaard from Dungen.
2) Good news for endangered species everywhere! Straight outta the sin city of Amsterdam, four guys with big apetites cooked up a rock'n'roll dish best served rare!
The simmering began in 2006 with the line-up consisting of 'Raw' Rogier Heumakers (The Shining) on bass, Gilian 'Profundo P' de Haas (The Anomalys) on guitar, Marko '5 ft. 7' Petrovic on vocals and the legendary OpzienBarend van der Meer (Frites Modern) on drums. The music blends the muscular proto-punk rnr of The Dictators and The Stooges with shake-your-ass-able hooks in the vein of The Fleshtones and The Ramones.
Lyrically, the band deals with taboo issues ranging from the problems of the modern male (Endangered Species) to intergenerational love (I wanna Date your Mom) and obesity (I Might Have Love Handles, But I Can't Handle Love). Live, the band brings the atmosphere to a boiling point with sleazy, greasy, high energy Rock 'n' CholesteRoll!
It's name? The Works.
It's mission? Conquering the world, one sweaty shithole at a time.
Come on in and take a bite!
3) Producers Twelve Beats and Terry Tester (also of Vincent Van Go Go) got together as The Works in 2008. No strangers to the fine art of production both has been turning and twisting the studio knobs for prominent artists like Kansas City rapper Reach, Grammy Nominee and R&B singer/songwriter Dwele, and local heroes Nobody Beats The Beats.
Releases on indie labels like BBE Records and Rawkus have caused a stir in the hiphop underground, and in September 2008 British music magazine Shook labeled The Works "Most Slept On". The title is given to new and promising talent.
Terry Tester is also member of Danish soul/funk/rock combo Vincent Van Go Go. The band released a live EP, simply called “Live”, on Rust Music January 2009.
Yokohama EP is the duos debut as The Works. Four tracks with a unique and appealing sound made to hit the ears of both hiphoppers and electronica fans with a taste for beats. The Works call themselves hiphop. But then again, they do not like to be labeled as such. They ask the listener to make up his/her own words, as he/she dig into a world of windy reverbs, strange melodies, and beats out of this world.

I should follow up my previous two comments - I really enjoyed this video and the examples you've chosen. Great stuff as ever.
Two orchestral pieces worth mentioning:
Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony (2nd movement), mostly 2+3, but in bar 8 of theme it's 3+2
Rachmaninoff's Isle of the Dead, whose 'rowing' theme is a masterful use of 5/8, alternating 2+3 and 3+2, initially in four bar cycles, but the pattern becomes irregular.
Regarding unusual metres, I find it curious to read some describing Golden Brown by the Stranglers as 13/8! Who'd count to 13?! Wikipedia says 6/8 and 7/8 alternating, which is more helpful. Personally, I hear it as 3/8, with 4/8 (=2/4) every fourth bar.
And as well as irregular metres, you could go on to irregular phrases, e.g. Eleanor Rigby.
It starts in regular units of four bars:
- 'Ah, look at all the lonely people!' x2
but then has a five-bar phrase:
- 'Eleanor Rigby... lives in a dream'

@stevenaustin4591
question - would you be up for doing a vid taking a look into the odd time signatures of musicians like Steve Vai or John Petrucci?
@mexa_t6534
I really appreciate you using modern, popular music examples. SO many musicians scoff at it, not realizing a lot of the times there's real study and merit behind those songs too.
@veronicalane1458
Whilst Ignoring many other genres, that have odd time signatures; including Jazz, Modern Jazz, Rock, Progressive Rock, Classic Rock. etc.

@lasseheller9863
@Veronica Lane of course, but the Video has much more impact on people if they actually know the songs. And it's not like rock is never talked about on this channel...
