The vocal track for the video was recorded live with a hidden microphone, to a pre-recorded instrumental track, as Bruce Springsteen walked the Streets of Philadelphia.

The robots captured Michelle Joy from Cannons and have her sing at a bar frequented by the cyber-soldiers. They still have not figured out how to sing or create sad songs

A transitional song and album for VH, not only in its members (this being Roth’s last with the band) but also in sound, incorporating the keyboard & synthesizer. I mean, who doesn’t love a keyboard solo?? For added fun, first play the intro track “1984” before this.

Has a few electronic effects but I thought it was still a nice acoustic addition to the playlist

A pairing of songs! The original Alchemist (also in this playlist) was reimagined 10 years after its original release into this. While I'm not convinced it's a real orchestra, the contrast between orchestral and electronic music is amazing. If you want to give points and can't decide, give 'em to the original, kthnx!
The first I've heard and still my all time favorites of Savant! This song is paired with the Prelude elsewhere in this playlist, which was made 10 years after this one. It's a great contrast between orchestral and electronic music. BY THE SAME ARTIST!

Axl Rose gives hope to the last remaining humans, singing over a secret frequency on old school radio waves. Slash got four bionic arm implants and is now able to play all three acoustic guitar parts on his own

Raw, old school VH, ironically the next track after Jump.
