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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

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.
