This is an experiment in audio loss. The idea: If you destroy audio with low-bitrate encoding, how far do you have to go before it no longer sounds like a badly encoded song, but something intriguing again? [more info]

I don't know that I would have picked it up without the background, but it definitely still sounds like the original song; like listening to it inside of an oil drum underwater (dub dub dub blub blub blub)

I know, isn't it amazing how the brain can still clearly recognize something after >%50 of it has been thrown out?

I think I might do a few more of these. Could make for a neat pseudo-record download.

Thanks for listening, guys.
