Someone is going to have to interpret this, I know your shooting for obscure.

yellow brick road

yellow brick road

Where on earth did you get that from?
If it really has anything to do with roads I'd have gone for The Long and Winding Road.

But actually I think it might be something by the post punk band A Certain Ratio such as their compilation Looking for A Certain Ratio

Desperation .. where else?

 

[isladogs]

This one is certainly tricky and probably very obscure

I thought it was a good guess. In fact, I expected to learn that it was the right answer. Reminds me of the winding yellow brick road as it runs out of Munchkin City, Oz.

Some kinda Steampunk

Clue: Current American band, ie still touring and releasing albums

 

[Isaac]

Aww man, I thought my answer was right for sure.

 

[Darrell]

It was a good try

Clue: The pic refers to the song's structure not the name

 

[isladogs]

Not sure about the last clue but how about Trent Reznor's Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral

Interesting article on song structure at http://www.musesmuse.com/col-hitsongsecrets-commonsongstructures.html

Got absolutely no clue, but I know that Trent Reznor did the music for the video game Quake (I), complete with all of the mystic sounds. Kind of spooky.

 

[Darrell]

...and if we googled song structure and Fibonacci...?

 

[isladogs]

The Quake music was indeed very spooky. That was where I first heard of Trent Reznor & NIN.
For anyone who hasn't heard it, see https://toiletovhell.com/remember-that-time-trent-reznor-wrote-the-soundtrack-for-quake/

I did that a couple of days ago - Lateralus by Tool

 

[Darrell]

OK We have a winner!!

Sorry this took so long - being on different time zones didn't help and also how I thought this would go turned into a death spiral of its own lol

Anyway - incredible song that uses the Fibonacci sequence for the syllables in the verses, drum patterns and other track timings. Musically amazing.

Tool – Lateralus

“Lateralus” is one of the most overtly intricate songs by Tool. The predominant lyrical theme is that over-analysis leads to loss of control, linear structures don’t exist in
