Possible Music Genres

In terms of our music video, one of the most important aspects of the project and the song in question, is genre. Eddie and Will have decided that we ourselves would prefer Hip-Hop and Electronic music, due to this style being far more suited to editing on the beat. However, we expect that the other members of our group would be more inclined towards the slow guitar-indie sort of genre, if that mesh of words corresponds to such.

Eddie has considered Kanye West - Jesus Walks as a possible candidate, due to the comparatively fast pace and lyrical flow. Also the lyrics are distinguishable enough so as to allow us the ability to create a decent number of lyric-to-visual connections.

Meanwhile, Will (That is me), has two songs to consider, at least that I figure that the rest of the group may like. The first is Burial - Archangel, which has a moody, downbeat yet sweeping feel to it - and we also agreed that we would prefer to use a slow-tempo track or, at the very least, a song that wasn't brutally fast. The other is Apes & Androids - Nights of the Week, a fairly recent guitar-y, indie-y affair mixed with some anti-pop electronica. That's probably the best car crash of a sentence to explain it.
