Songs that sound better pitched way up, or way down.
Listening to Fanciulli's Renaissance 2 disc I instantly fell in love with Technasia - Evergreen (John Tejada Mix), went to buy it and realized the original BPM is a fair bit quicker than it is on the Renaissance disc, and I think it's way, way too fast, even if it isn't pitched down all that high.
So this got me thinking - have any of you noticed tunes that behave similarly? Where you have to pitch the shit out of them one way or the other to make them sound the way you'd like because you just don't like the way it sounds at it's normal BPM?
I tend to pitch up a lot of old progressive house, because it often sounds a little too sluggish. It's probably because I'm acclimatised to prog starting at the 130 mark where back in the early 90s 130 was very fast for a lot of prog. Tracks that were designed to be energetic need speeding up a little to retain their energy.
i'd like to add chab's 'tribute to bedrock' mix of kayama painters - wasteland. it's something like 127-8 originally but can work at almost 20bpm faster than that
as for slower, i'm going to say 95% of psy trance

how this could be 120bpm is rediiculase. Should be at 127 at least.

although i do still love the tracks the way they normally are i like the way "cass & slide - perception" and "amoeba assassin - piledriver (grayed out mix)" sound pitched up...
