I am reminded of this song:

Very smooth and ominous. The vocals slide in perfectly. I love the deep bass and how the vocals seem to float above the rest of the song. At 2:20 washed out guitars overpower everything and it all just flows so seamlessly. Then at 3:25 the guitars abruptly cut out and it goes back to the softer style.

My only other exposure to Curve was a song of theirs from the PS2 rhythm game Frequency:

Pretty different, but still features some of the same awesome elements: plenty of reverb, elements mixing together in compelling ways, a singular atmosphere. Will need to check out more of Curves stuff.

Would this be considered avant-garde? That label gets thrown around a lot but Im not quite sure what the formal definition is. At any rate, this is a heavily mixed up take on Michael Jacksons Bad, with the original spliced into chunks that barely resemble the original song. Its not random dab comes in waves, switching in between more intense bursts of original song and more reserved parts where its mostly the beat from Bad. The part around 3:30 is a highlight, as the song moves back and forth between different bitesize chunks of the original with increasing speed. This was an easy 10 in Unconvention Ive never quite heard anything like this. It honestly would have placed higher but the last, like, three whole minutes dont really appeal to me: its much more ambient and monotone, which are not inherently bad things, but I guess after the excitement of the rest of the song, I wanted more.
