Because I've seen the facts mangled so many times: the only Stereolab members on this recording are Laetitia and Mary (RIP). (We did use some of Stereolab's pedals.) This mix is by our engineer, Greg Frey.I won't reveal how we mimicked the Fripp solo but if you can guess how someone might have done it in 1997, you win something of no commercial value.
This is the best cover I have heard of one of my all time favourite songs. Your take on the Fripp solo (in my humble opinion, one of the best solos ever recorded) was very interesting. I think it was rendered using several Ring Modulators and a rabid goat. Do I win the prize?
This is a real cool elevator music version, but only to be played in elevators in buildings tall enough to take 4 minutes and 10 seconds to get from bottom floor to top floor.
Me too. It's good in its own right, but I was waiting to see what they would do with the amazing Fripp guitar solo, and wisely they didn't even attempt it . I didn't like the buzzing electronic noise they replaced it with though, and the piece is more laid back also. To quote a favourite film: "They've got a good bass section, mind, but they don't have a top tenor!" [i.e. Fripp]

Is 8 years later too late to answer the question?
@@killmoreturtles Nope. Actually some good news about this song to come v soon.
@@SashaFrereJonesNYC remaster? 👀
I used an eventide h3000 in some weird random programme and my name is not greg....
@@SashaFrereJonesNYC numero group reissue?
This song is so good. When this came out I played it on repeat for an entire week.
This is an amazing song! Was so disappointed when I couldn't find it on Apple Music! Thank god this is here!
Love love love this version, it tickles my synapses in the way that only Stereolab can...
Mmmmmmmm. I almost forgot about this wonderfulness.
It was on my list of the very best tunes of that year. Great cover. Ui is so great. Stereolab is pretty good too!
i love both versions of this wonderful piece of genius.
I had forgot all about this tune. I still have the 12inch too. I’m getting old
I think playing the drums in half-time was the wrong decision. This song should fly!
Absolutely brilliant and well executed cover ... thank you. I wonder if Brian has ever heard this ?!
wonderful stuff
both are killer
oh, nice x
😍😍😍

Fripp's solo was annoying. Good on them for dropping it
Mmmmmmmm. I almost forgot about this wonderfulness.
