I hate this kind of music (it just seems kind of silly to me, nothing
personal against any of the techno-crew, of course. Also, I should add
that I like Cylob, especially DIOF97.) but I have to say the original is
*far* more engaging and cool than that "cover" or whatever you want to
call that preposterous echoed kickdrum monstrosity that Sony did. Jesus.
I would buy this record in a second, and even LISTEN TO IT, just to give
Sony the finger. (They screwed over the Clash too, so fuck 'em.)
I urge all of you to go hear this for yourselves. My god. I'm appalled.
the orginal is a little toe-tapping techno/housey thing, and the Sony
"cover" is like what the elevator in some awful THUNDERDOME! themed
techno-dance club for old folks will sound like in 2045.
Sony's version is a terrifying glimpse of the future of big corporations
ruling earth with cutthroat capitalist evil. Well, that's what I think,
anyway.
