A fabulous blend
It’s been a while, and I have been working with some old stuff and some new stuff. I found some old unreleased tracks that I will put online within the next weeks. And the work I am doing will also surface here during the earlier Autumn (I hope).
Anyway, I came across this beautiful re-work of Sigur Rós Hoppípolla track by Chicane (intelligently called Poppíholla as it is a pop track, not a hop track I guess). The beauty from the Sigur Rós melody and chords, is mixed with the housey pop knowledge and feel-good atmosphere surrounding the best Chicane tracks. I am a bit jealous he got the idea first, and impressed by how much he achieves with small means (i.e. changes to the original track). Another well-done victory for modern electronic music, I think. Watch the video (not as good) below.
