thoughts on David Byrne covering Autechre's "gnit" (i'm
new to the list so if this is well worn territory please
pardon my redundancy)

it's on a comp but out on Byrne's label...i think it's
called "the only blip hop album you need vol.1"

For a moment I thought your post said "...David Bowie
covering Autechre's "gnit"..."

Haha! Imagine that.... =D

Roots) and ZAP Mama,

for pete's sake, it's a compilation on his label to which he
wrote some of the liner notes to. it's not him doing the
cover! it's a various artists compilation; the group doing
the cover is marie + scratch (as discussed on this board a
few weeks ago). static it's ok you didn't know, you're new,
but you others.. come on.

i hate to bring up a point of contention (and again pardon
my naivete as a result of my inexperience on the list), but
if i'm not mistaken Byrne did the production on that song,
as well as the last song on the comp

then i stand corrected :) i was going by the previous
discussion here and blind assumption. i don't own the cd;
all music guide said it was a little pretentious (mostly
byrne's fault).

oh i agree, but you have to admire his effort...i really
appreciate Byrne's mercurial taste in music and I find it
really amazing that Byrne, who was once a pioneer of
electronic music, is now paying hommage to current pioneers
in the genere

yea i think it's cool too, i love it when well-meaning
popular musicians bring cool underground styles to the
mainstream, eg: outkast and missy elliott incorporating drum
'n' bass into mainstream hip-hop, radiohead touring w/
groups like clinic and sigur ros, etc.

issue
