I disagree profusely... some records can sound better pitched up than
they do regular speed... down hurr most of the radio DJs pitch their
(admittedly) commercial radio mixes up by around +5 to +7 as do most
club DJs and I likes...
matter of fact... not many people's bag but...
Miss B - Bottle Action (pitched up +12 off an old mix cd I did)
http://www.zshare.net/audio/9649226c9d1e20/
is better (more energetic, more menacing, more fuck-you-uppish) than
Miss B - Bottle Action at regular speed
http://www.zshare.net/audio/964940450dfda9/
and this record still has the best hook of the last 8 years...
