Explain to me what makes his multitracking so special to you?

It's harmonic. Take the figure 8 version of Pretty Mary K.
The verse I found faith in the infirmary is sung as such:

"I found faith in theeeee"
As if it's a religious lyric, and the multi-tracking response is "ahhh" in a religious sense

but then he goes on to say
"....infirmary" and the voices go "ahhhh" as if melancholic. It's really clever. It's some of the best use of multi-tracking I've heard.

He also uses it in general to make his voice much more penetrating.

The backing vocals he overdubbed in the middle part of Miss Misery is pure gold.

Its recording backing vocals not multitracking you dumb cunt.

this also. I was only really giving the first that came to mind. Elliott's a genius in general. I like a very high percentage of his music.

Well, belligerent user, 'fraid you're wrong there.

Multitrack recording (MTR)—also known as multitracking, double tracking, or tracking—is a method of sound recording developed in 1955 that allows for the separate recording of multiple sound sources or of sound sources recorded at different times to create a cohesive whole.

You don't know what you're talking about. This is what Elliott did.

It's not just backing vocals.

He used instruments the same way, especially layers of electric guitars tracked over his Yamaha acoustic on XO and his later albums.

this.

Layers of tracks are multi-tracking. Backing vocals are therefore a part of multi-tracking.

This is the best example I can think of.

It's all vocals harmonizing over each other, and it sounds exactly like the other renditions on guitar and piano.
