At one point in time, I loved techno music--the mindless, thumping beat great for working out and gyrating en masse in a dance club. And after a year in Florence, I've been dunked into techno again. It's like a soundtrack to life: You catch snippets walking past clubs, sitting in traffic, eating lunch in a trattoria.
But after hearing superslow remakes of the Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams," the disco song
"Le Freak" and Nouvelle Vague's cover of "Master and Servant" (they should have left the Depeche Mode original alone), I was getting disgusted. Some things are sacred!
Then, I heard Gramophonedzie's cover of the Peggy Lee/Benny Goodman standard, "Why Don't You Do Right?"
The album is only out in the UK right now. But check out the video here:
