Found it today- Rei Harakami's album "Unrest Works" has a quickstep
waltz on it, you might argue that it's in 6/8 but I think if you listen
to the drum programming and check when the chords change you'll find it
really is ONE-two-three ONE-two-three and not in six.
Since the backbeat has infiltrated everything, it's hard to write
anything in 3 that doesn't sound ponderous, so I see what you're saying
and why... but Harakami just jacks up the tempo so you don't even
realize it's a waltz until the bass comes in.
