I can&#8217;t take any credit or thanks for finding this video &#8211; it&#8217;s lifted straight from a series of posts on  Bobby Owsinski&#8217;s blog, featuring isolated instruments and vocals from a fascinating range of artists, each with some interesting comments.

I tried to think of something clever and interesting to say about this performance, but all I could manage was
OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
