Surprisingly, Midomi picked it up just by playing the only clear chorus part of the song. The group is Veckatimest, off their Grizzly Bear album. The song is Two Weeks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjecYugTbIQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjecYugTbIQ http://www.midomi.com/index.php?action=main.album&album_id=e081e00fef1e612026083ac1965bf35d&track_id=855da22358dce9254f99d32076712e4d&from=voice_search http://www.midomi.com/index.php?action=main.album&album_...

Thank you very much fname. You just ended 3 days of banging my head against the table. Cheers,

  No problem, glad to help. Once I heard the song, I knew I've heard it elsewhere and had to track it down as well.

Super! That's quite amazing, given how the voices drown out the music almost completely so that must have done the job on a surprisingly small fingerprint. Are the other songs in the video by the same band ? I woke up with a plan of attack based on checking the others first :)

  I never thought Midomi would pick it up with all of the background noise. I only used a small 5 second sample and it picked it with 100% accuracy. I tried the same that you wou would have tried jacquesm, by searching on the other songs in the video. Thinking the opening of the video was the same song, and was also the cleanest part of the video, Midomi should pick it up with ease. I was wrong -- it couldn't find it or the results were too broad to narrow it down to a specific track. So, I tried the actual track and surprisingly it found it.

    Philips sells a system to 'rights holders' and to organizations like the RIAA, BUMA and GEMA, that works along these lines, but iirc their sample length is 15 seconds. Funny we caught on to the same plan of attack :)
