I love deconstructed music, it acts as a great counter measure to the complex and multi-layered. A great example is the Still disc of Nine Inch Nails “And All That Could Have Been” which features stripped down and descontructed versions of songs such as “The Fragile”.
Last night around 3:30 am, I was listening to Radio Paradise, a great little internet radio station. The station has a well balanced playlist. If they aren’t playing something I dig now, they will in 15 minutes. On came one of my favorite Aphex Twin tracks “Film” – a melodious electronic piano track painted with rapid light drum loops. Only I didn’t recognize the version. It sounded much more organic.
In fact, it was a jazzy cover by The Bad Plus, a band that has an impressive groove and some great tracks. I could go on, but instead:
