My favourite song at the moment is Octopus Project's What They Found.

I have a soft spot for eccentric electronic music cos such songs aren't so straight forward, they're harder to love without warm vocals. For this song, I sort of identify the personalities of the different layers/ voices. It starts with the sober one (the 2 note wonder), and it morphs into the ditzy one (slightly out of beat, like it's wandering round in la-la land). Then the drum kicks in with the xylophone, both in competition. The drum thinks the song's stadium rock and the xylophone thinks it's a delicate musical box, while the ditzy one goes "oh, so we're not chill out music huh?". Then the song reaches a crescendo and everyone recedes leaving the sober one again. lol. Does that make sense?
