I don't know enough music theory to know if it fits the definition of downward modulation, but upon reading your question I immediately thought of Portishead - Glorybox
Excellent track. The whole album 'Dummy' is excellent imo.
Glorybox is basically Ike's Rap II by Isaac Hayes featuring Beth Gibbons. I like Glorybox better though then the original with Isaac's vocal.
Tricky also used the same Isaac Hayes sample on Hell's round the corner.
That is a very cool sounding song, add it to my collection.
I don't know or think it actually downward modulates in the sense of it getting lower in the key sense but it definitely has a descending chromatic chord progression, I believe. But my music theory is also rusty so if some music-person wants to clarify have at it
Might do a seperate question just for that, maybe make it a series
I'd say almost anything by Radiohead, but specifically, paranoid android.
In My Room - Jacob Collier
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds?
Yellow Submarine?
Are those actually downward modulating?
The Beatles 'Penny Lane'
Whitney Houston's 'How Will I Know'
XTC's 'Reign Of Blows'
Johnny Cash 'I Walk the Line'
I'm not sure, I actually answered before the edit was federated!
My bad ๐ I knew I needed to clarify it hah
