Can you imagine being the first guy listening to In The Air Tonight and not knowing those drums were coming?

\n
\n\n

\n\nThe first guy listening to it knew the drums were coming. \u00a0From wikipedia:

\u201cAhmet came down to the final mix in the cutting room in New York (\u2026) The drums don\u2019t come in until the end but Ahmet didn\u2019t know that at this point, because on the demo the drums hadn\u2019t come in at all; it was only drum machine all the way. And he was saying, \u2018Where\u2019s the down beat, where\u2019s the backbeat?\u2019 I said, ‘The drums come in in a minute.\u2019\u201d

Incidentally, about this post and responses, my favorite performance art is stuff I don\u2019t really get.
