Textured songs

Ive been listening to quite a lot of songs, varied in everything you can think of, from old jazz to songs like these:

I LOVE the introduction to this song, it is full of texture, layers, movement, tone, rhythm. The introduction has really inspired me to create something quite textural in the way of a video for the introduction. I've also been really inspired by how Beardyman's video "monkey jazz" has been created. During the song, as Beardyman builds up the song he uses visual cues like hats of sunglasses to distinguish between each layers of the song. He also uses colour in the background to distinguish the different layers as well as hand gestures, movement of the videos that copy the movement of the song. Even better when the sound is defused, the images too become fuzzed to further represent how the song is working. The graphical style that has been applied to the overall video ties everything in so well. I cant describe enough how much I really love this video due to the way the video has added so much to the music and it stimulates both the ear and the ear. You can appreciate so much more as to how a song like that has to be built up in layers and the technicality put into it.

Here it is in all its glory for you to make your own mind up!
