dlloyd Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Sometimes it's just down to the mixing. A classic example is Layla by Derek and the Dominoes... original riff is D minor pentatonic, but sounds like Eb because it was sped up to give a bit more energy.

cytania Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 The backing tracks to some sixties hits were clearly recorded slower in a lowered key and then sped up for the vocal overdubs. This makes the music really jump out. Concrete and Clay by Unit Four sounds like this was done but I've never heard a detailed account of the recording session.
