| From the Where2sing.com forum: JT 'Wall of Sound' was coined by Phil Spector. I use it to refer to layered, orchestral, and choir backings, as distinct from electric. Only a recording can do justice to these and karaoke backing is, essentially, a recording minus vocal. Righteous Bros, Ronettes, Bond themes etc are of this genre - hard to do with 3 chords on a geetar.
Kev it always surprises me how few people bother to do simple things like change key. First time you do the song I can understand as you can only guess, but for songs done regularly it would seem an indispensable technique like mic technique.
My motive for concern over others' technique is simple - the average Chats participant has well over an hour between their own songs to be a listener. If the music is so loud you can't talk to others at the table then bad to boot what the Hell are we doing there?
