Talk:Interstellar Overdrive

message: I've just downloaded the newly remastered mono mix of this album (*) from iTunes and bravely listened to the whole thing.  There are subtle differences between it and what I was already familiar with on nearly every track (rather like "Sgt. Pepper's ...") but this is the only track which was transformed.  In the first minute it's clear what they meant about the entire ensemble being double-tracked; I couldn't place the tempo with certainty until about 1:15 in.  The whole thing seems to sound even more spaced-out; it would appear eventually to switch to single-tracked ensemble somewhere around the 8-minute mark (i.e. at the climax of the song).  I think the article ought to mention this.
(*) Side note: I went for the mono version because the stereo mix of this song just sounds sickening on headphones (from about 8:30 to the end - that's the section featured in the Ogg Vorbis sample).  Should the article mention that effect in the stereo mix too? --The guy with the axe - aaaaaaargh!!! 19:28, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I listened to the mono version, and i found it far better at the begining and the ending. We can mention, yes, 2 editors agree, and if none oppose we can do, but we must be very careful with the wording, because the danger of original research is "right behind (after) the corner".Doktor Who 00:11, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Interstellar Overdrive.ogg

message: This song is described by Pete Jenner as "this new Arthur Lee song" or something like that. It would hardly have been "My little red book" because:
a) This was a cover. 
b) It was Love's first single and Arthur Lee was unknown in Britain before releasing it. Hence it couldn't have been his "new song".
IMHO, the song was "And more" from Love's first album. If you hum the melody and speed it up, you might get a prototype for this riff. Syd played a chord for each note that Jenner hummed, which is quite an alteration. Sponsianus (talk) 17:52, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The article says "most commonly identified as ... 'My Little Red Book'" and therefore does not positively state that was the song.  To state that it could be another song, without citation, might be seen as original research.  For that matter, the current identification is both uncited and a guess, which is not very encyclopedic.  If you could find a citation from a professional reviewer, for instance, who says it could be "And More", you might try adding it and see what happpens.  If you want to add an explanation that Syd changed melody notes into chords, that's fine, because that's the generally understood theory.  But this section really could do with some citations.  References to the origins of this song have been documented in books; it's just that nobody has bothered to add them. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 21:08, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
