Milgram's 37 (Remix)

from Mad or Bad: The Psychopath Remix by NCN

/

about

A remix of Peter Gabriel's piece 'Milgram's 37' from his album, 'So'.

"We Do What We're Told (Milgram's 37)" was a song written for Gabriel's third album and is described as an interlude. It references the experiment on obedience carried out by American social psychologist Stanley Milgram, intended as a reference to the obedience citizens show to dictators during times of war.

Marotta's drums on the song were said to resemble "a heartbeat heard from the womb" these were coupled with Shankar's violin and "two overdubbed guitar tracks by Rhodes".

It has been remixed for this program with more explication of the experiment that is referenced in the original piece.

37 refers to the 37 percent who refused to complete the experiment.in the study. This percentage was much lower than anticipated.
