[HD] Xacti Night Drive In Tokyo : 新青梅街道 / Gotan

[Renulph]

Have you heard the Nighthawks version of this song? I immediately thought of it as soon as I heard the trumpet, then realized it's a cover of the same song - the arrangement is different, however.

@Renulph Yeah, Nighthawks version is also cool, only their sound is rather inclined to Fusion or so-called Smooth Jazz. You might as well listen to Mile Davis' most famous version of it. The album title itself is Round Midnight and most of mute trumpet sound we hear these days are all copied from or 'inspired by' Miles Davis. I think the trumpet player Reiner Winterschladen of Nighthawks wishes he could play like Wayne Shorter.

@MrXactiman I like their version because it has those liquidy "wah-wah" effect chords and electronic effects with a pleasant noir vibe. Wouldn't call it smooth jazz, it's probably closer to acid or space jazz.

I'm not a big fan of them, but their cover is super dope to me. I like fusion, by the way, but not smooth jazz (it makes me cringe most of the time).

Nice song!

[MrXactiman]

@PureS0u1 Yeah, I like it very much. Please check up that well-known Miles Davis' version.

What settings were used for this shot? ISO 50 or 100?

[MrXactiman]

@syn3rgetic I was not conscious of ISO setting when I made this video. My camcorder is set on Automatic Mode, I guess.

[MrXactiman]

I can guarantee that you would be able to travel light with a Sanyo Xacti DMX CG-10. (Gee, I sound like a public-relations guy from Sanyo even though I have never worked for Sanyo.)

wow thanks so much for your video. I'm definitely going to get this camcorder for my upcoming trip ^^ Thanks!
