You beat me to it, but here's more info: The track on Bjork's Telegram is
"Army of Me", completely re-worked, like the Oxbow Lakes piece, with a
live group playing the parts. In my opinion, it's stuff like this and
Aphex Twin's "Icct Hedral" that really make me glad I spent all those
formative years listening to classical at dinner with my parents.
The "Army of Me" remix is really, really, good - in fact the whole
Telegram...EP? Album? (It's 10 remixes plus one new song) is great, with
the exeption of the first track. I don't even know what it is; I just
skip right over it when I put the disc in. The "Army of Me" strings piece
is track 2, tho...then the Richard Brown/B.Hannant remix (as Outcast) is
next...a great slice of distorted drums that sets the strings of the
previous track off really well.
Other highlights on it are the completely beatless 10th track (don't
remember the name), and a couple others.
