Just heard Martin Olsen's version of "Friction" today-this is truly wonderful stuff and is now my current joint favourite along with Keith's take on "Prayer".... -shades of the Residents and Devo perhaps but totally original and utterly contemporary-great job!
Both of these are damn good tracks, particularly since they're real reinterpretations of the originals. My first thought on hearing "Friction" was Raymond Scott, but I've been thinking a lot about his stuff lately. (Maybe the first composer to work in sound blocks. And everyone's heard "Powerhouse.")
I'm digging the two "Guiding Light"s, as well. The LH definitely has a cool vibe going (sounded fine to me, btw), and Chris Chapple's version is a great pleasure--particularly in the way it starts out totally simple and unassuming, and then slowly builds into something grand. Well done, Chris, and the Lounge Hounds, too.
