Never mind, I figured it out.

Looking for a track where a woman sings "This is house music"

Hi all. I am looking for a track which I liked very much but unfortunately I can't find the name of it in Google. I would be very happy if somebody would recognize the song and artist with the following criteria:

The CD on which I heard the song was, as far as I remember, a techno or trance collection.
In the particular song, a very strong woman voice sings (or shouts) several times "This is house music!" I liked her voice very much. It's a very strong and clear voice speaking to a large audience, at least I imagine so :)
I'm not sure whether it was another song on the same CD or whether it was in the same song but I remember also somehow "insomnia"... But I might be wrong in this case.

Hoping that somebody would help me... Thanks in advance :) --Tilmanb (talk) 11:46, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is this it? The leftorium 13:03, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No :( In this song, there is even no strong woman voice singing "this is house music". In the song I am looking for, the voice is really in the foreground. Not all the time of course but a few times during the song or so... --Tilmanb (talk) 05:36, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

When you say 'insomnia' do you mean this song [1] - if so that might narrow it down a bit. Also if you know is it an old (eg 80's or 90's song)83.100.250.79 (talk) 19:09, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I might have been thinking of that song but no, that was not the song I was looking for. But this song reminds me that "insomnia" was NOT mentioned in the song I am looking for :) So, I AM looking for a song where a woman sings "this is house music"! Unfortunately I don't know from which year the song is (but my guess is 90s or 00s). --Tilmanb (talk) 07:46, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Follow up. Can't anybody remember any song where a woman is singing "this is house music"? I really really hope that somebody would find it for me... --Tilmanb (talk) 18:03, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Music intervals

Bear with me, I'm trying to grasp the ideas of music theory to strengthen my ability of writing chord progressions (prior to this I just messed around). I was looking at a certain group of chords shown below, and I think I've named the intervals right but could someone check them over?

D A#5 Bm C F#dim

1 #5/b6 6 7 #3/b-4

Thanks!

Assuming this is in the key of D-major; D-F# is a major 3rd, not a raised major 3rd. I would just notate it as 3 and not #3. Remember that in a major key, the 3-4 interval is the half step; while in the minor key it's the 2-3 interval. If this is supposed to be D-major key then the D-F# interval is just a third. Otherwise the rest of these look pretty good. It's gonna sound weird as heck, but it looks like you've labeled them right. What's wrong with I-IV-V-vi anyways? --Jayron32.talk.contribs 00:22, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This depends on the key of the progression. If indeed it is D major (though this progression hardly suggests such a key) the root of the C chord would be labeled a minor seventh in traditional music theory, the A# would be an augmented fifth (+5), the B would be a major sixth (M6), F# would be a major third (M3), and D would be a perfect unison (P1). Using roman numerals, the progression would be labeled I-#V-vi-bVII-°iii. Someoneinmyheadbutit'snotme (talk) 03:15, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, he indicated that D was the root (using the number 1) which would indicate some sort of key of D. To be honest, it is a weird progression. Even trying the same chords in other keys, I don't come up with anything more standard... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:41, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gah, just wrote a huge response and the form failed, so now I have to try and remember everything again. Seems I made some mistakes above, I must have overly simplified it in my head because that certainly is not the right progression. It's more complicated, like D, A#dim5, (A#dim), Bm7, Am7, D7sus, G, Dmaj7sus, G, Gmaj. What would I call the intervals in this case? Seems to complicated to merely be in the key of Dmaj.

This depends on what is meant by "intervals." Do you mean intervals of the roots of each chord relative to D or the harmonic function of each within the key or progression? Someoneinmyheadbutit'snotme (talk) 01:41, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
