Telemicommunications - Deadmau5

An Odd Ode To Digital Social Lives

This may be one of the most unique songs that I will ever review to be honest. Deamau5 is so well known for his strong club anthems that this song really stands alone. The song's rhythm is almost non existent, it being filled with and made up of various blips and clicks, little sounds and things to string a difficult beat to follow together. The progressive sounds that float in the background make the song flow and enter a very spacey trance, which make the entire song seem like a long day dream. There are three repeated piano chords which help bring a balanced and smooth transition to the singing. The song's vocalist is nothing special, but it goes really well with the tone and message in the song, which might be the most important part because it seems like the inner thoughts an average person and their daily struggles to convey simple feelings to another person. From what I see, it tells of a story of love that is falling apart because of digital communication complications. It is quite interesting, and a lot of people can relate. Lastly, the song picks up in the last quarter with a little more electronic beats and vocal back up to finish it off. When listening to Telemiscommunications, I recommend to have an open mind and let you imagination wander with your ears or watch the music video, it brings out a lot more of the song. From an audio piece to a full sensory experience.
