Holy shit. That is simply amazing. Great to hear another better, fuller version of that!

That video is hypnotic & insane. I was in a trance starring at the visuals & it abruptly stopped.
I love the little dub section Tom does before and around the 7:00 mark.

Your efforts are appreciated, but yeah--the pitch shift makes the vocals on Snow sound rather odd.

I'd imagine you were trying to slow down the tempo and it caused a shift in the pitch?

no actually; i used fl studio and used pitch shifter and time shifter separately to get the tempi and pitches to match. Problem is that the songs are in A flat and D respectively - 6 semitones apart (the furthest possible)! Ir has to be in D, otherwise S2A sounds awful, so Snow had to come down 6 semitones - quite a change :/ Of course, the ChemBros do it by changing the inversion of the chords that she sings to accomodat for this, but i only had the original studio album tracks so this wasnt possible: In the original, she sings C, A flat, E flat, so this transposes down to F sharp, D, A, which is quite low. However, the chemical brothers rerecorded this at pitch D, A, F sharp so sounds much better.

Forum member Csar did a version of Snow/Surface using the live-version of Snow/Surface and filter out the vocals of Stefanie there. Still not Chemical-quality, but also not a bad listen. CLICK
Maybe you should try the same - but i can't say which video he chooses for the vocals, maybe the Luxembourg-recording.

Well, I never truely intented to recreate it. I did it off the top of my head without paying too much attention to the original live version (it's basically Surface to air with added vocals). I think I mainly used the Moscow set (and another one for the ascending voice part).
I can upload it again tomorrow if you like.

I assume they had some vocal takes spare which they used in their live version. For instance, there's this ascending vocal part to kick off the beat and that one wasn't used in Snow. So I reckon, they used unique vocals that were not directly edited from Snow.

I tried it again in another browser. Here's my rehash of Snow Surface.

Heh, back in Summer 2011, while driving through one of the most beautiful parts of Austria, I listened to Surface To Air for more than ten times in a row, singin along the lyrics of Snow. Good thing I was alone in the car, I would've annoyed the hell out of any passengers.

These visuals are mindblowing. Make me want to see them live again so badly.
