I do love a good keychange....seems to be dying trend...anything by barry gray is a key change frenzy.

Can't see the linked video on this device, but if it's key changes you're after rather than key(board)s then check out The Cardiacs. They invented what has been termed "prog-punk" or "pronk", amazingly fun music with a degree of complexity that's astounding but secondary to how good it sounds. Sadly their front man Tim Smith has been in ill health, and it's possible that he won't be able to play guitar again.

It was keyboards I meant but if anyone wants to add interesting key changes too then I'm all ears.

I refer the keen listener to the key change in Michael Jackson's 'You Are Not Alone' - he sets you up for a key change from B to C, then goes to C#, but you don't realise he's done it. Utterly masterful!

Love this, some tasty Bass playing too.

Goldfinger by john barry....28 key changes from memory....which fails me regulary!

[Horizontalste]

Not sure if it counts as a key change or they drop in an accidental (I'm a bit thick) but never the less one of my favorite songs at the minute. Nice to play too.

It don't get any better than that for (the obvious) key changes - Although I do love both Sinatra's and Darren's versions.

Favourite songs with nice use of keyboards ?

Here's a couple of old Standards performed by the Spencer Davis Group with a young Steve Winwood on keys/vox .

" Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out " was written in 1923 by Jimmy Cox .
This is from a 60's film starring the band....

For keyboards, check out the first Talk Talk album (from before they went all pseudo jazz and tedious). Great bass parts as well, plus the classic pounding Simmons drum sound.

Windmills of your mind from the 60's goes all over the place
