FEEDBACK
VA - Feedback (A Butterboy Compilation) (4 x CDs)
Feedback in music refers to the phenomenon where a sound loop is created between an audio input (like a microphone or guitar pickup) and an audio output (like a speaker or amplifier). This loop can produce a range of sounds, from a subtle hum to a piercing screech, depending on the settings and environment. This sustained, high-pitched sound can be manipulated for artistic effect. The use of feedback in music has evolved over time, becoming a significant element in various genres and periods.
The most notable period for the use of feedback in music was during the late 1960s and early 1970s. One of the key reasons for the prevalence of feedback during this time was the advent of new technology. Amplifiers and electric instruments became more sophisticated, allowing for greater control over sound. This era was marked by a surge of experimentation and innovation in popular music. Musicians and producers were exploring new ways to push the boundaries of sound, and feedback became a tool for creating unique and unconventional sonic textures. The counterculture movement of the 1960s, with its emphasis on breaking away from traditional norms, provided a fertile ground for such experimentation. The use of feedback in music has been both a creative tool and a technical challenge for musicians and sound engineers.
During this time, feedback was often used to create a sense of chaos and intensity in music. It was employed to produce a raw, distorted sound that contrasted sharply with the polished, clean tones of earlier music. This use of feedback was particularly prevalent in genres such as psychedelic rock and early heavy metal, where the goal was to create an immersive and often overwhelming auditory experience. The sustained, wailing tones of feedback could evoke a sense of otherworldliness, making it a perfect fit for the experimental and often surreal themes of the music of that era.
The use of feedback also coincided with advancements in amplification technology. The development of more powerful amplifiers and the widespread use of electric guitars made it easier for musicians to generate and control feedback. This technological progress allowed for greater experimentation and more precise manipulation of feedback, further embedding it into the musical landscape of the time.
In summary, the use of feedback in music reached its peak during the late 1960s and early 1970s, driven by a spirit of experimentation and technological advancements. It became a defining feature of certain genres, contributing to the creation of distinctive and memorable sounds that continue to influence music to this day.
Presented here are 80 tracks that either start with feedback, end with feedback, have feedback passages in vital sections or have feedback throughout the performance.

Of course, there must be FEEDBACK - a truly positive one, no doubt! Another very knowlegeable (and highly enjoyable) selection this is. Screetches of thanks, BB! Best, TC
ReplyDeleteThanks TC.
DeleteI appreciate your kind words.
There are many more tracks that could have been included but as always, I wanted to make this not only interesting but delve into music that may be new to some.
Cheers.
Thanks a million for this compilation, BB!
ReplyDeleteSemi-related, you might be interested in the Country Fuzz Spectacular via WFMU.
They've posted a couple volumes of cool fuzzed-out country mp3s.
Hi RiCK SAUNDERS.
DeleteGreat to hear you like this set.
Thanks for the heads up. I will explore the WFMU site and see what will certainly be new to me.
Cheers.
Thanks BB. I feel fine after listening to this lot!!
ReplyDeleteThat is great news, lemonflag.
DeleteI tried to be gentle.
Cheers.
Feedback - "Lennon remained proud of the fact that the Beatles were perhaps the first group to deliberately put it on vinyl." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Feel_Fine.
DeleteI know it was 1975 or so, but Nazareth's cover of This Flight Tonight deserves a place of honour here...
ReplyDeleteHi Norm.
DeleteThanks for this fine suggestion.
Cheers.
To quote David Gilmour "where would rock and roll be without feedback" - thanks BB
ReplyDeleteNice quote, Dr Robert.
DeleteCheers.
Great selection of songs here! The only thing I'm surprised by is REO Speedwagon!?!?!
ReplyDeleteHi MrDave.
DeleteThanks for that.
Reo Speedwagon's "Don't Let Him Go" does feature some guitar feedback, especially in the intro and during the solo sections. It was a big hit for them but is rarely heard these days (that's why I put it in).
Cheers.
