WHEN I HEARD THIS TUNE ON PANDORA it was the first time I had heard anything by the band Apparat. I have since purchased several of their tunes but this instrumental, You Don't Know Me, is my favorite. The sample (linked below) is approximately 30 seconds and 45 seconds into the song. skipping the lengthy intro:
REVIEW
REVIEW
The song starts with some bell like synthesizers into which are blended more melodic synthesizer sustain notes. At 45 seconds a cello-like instrument enters and establishes the main melody that will persist throughout. It is accompanied by another string sounding instrument, probably a violin or viola. At two minutes 34 seconds the tune slows a bit with the percussion fading into the background. The percussion is largely an ensemble of synthesized noises but very subtle, with an occasional synthesized bongo tapping out a subtle, syncopated beat. The main beat, coming once every four beats, is a snare like, metallic twanging sound that is very apropos to the mood of the tune. At four minutes instruments began to fade out one by one and the song ends at four minutes 24 seconds.
