Stop 7: Road Trip (Answer)

Each of the songs on the mix CD is an automatic reconstruction of one song using audio samples from another song by the same artist. This was done using the A from B function of the Echo Nest Remix SDK. The best songs to listen to to really hear this effect are the Outkast and U2 examples, since the rhythms of the reconstructed songs are distinctive. The song pairs are:

Artist	Song being reconstructed	Source song
Feist	I Feel It All	1, 2, 3, 4
Lady Gaga	Born This Way	Edge of Glory
Interpol	Narc	Public Pervert
Phoenix	Lisztomania	1901
Michael Jackson	I Want You Back	Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough
Outkast	Hey Ya	B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)
David Bowie	Rebel Rebel	Suffragette City
Eminem	[I don’t remember!]	[I don’t remember!]
Sufjan Stevens	The Upper Peninsula	John Wayne Gacy, Jr.
Queen	Another One Bites the Dust	Bohemian Rhapsody
U2	Sunday Bloody Sunday	Beautiful Day
Adele	Turning Tables	Someone Like You
Daft Punk	Around The World	One More Time

Although it’s very hard to determine what the song names are, the artists are fairly recognizable. The first letters of the artist names, in the given order, spells the answer: FLIPMODE SQUAD.
