Another interesting and filtered opening, with some actual bass coming through leaves you wanting more, and you're not disappointed. Some really nice synth instruments take the sustained notes, and a nice weird sounding three-note hook gives some of the weirdness that Fred was trying to convey. Somehow the normal strangeness of FTCs arranging meshes with Fred's musical strangeness to produce something special. Sonically I can't fault it except that the bass could be warmer. There's a worrying moment at 2:07 when it sounds like this might turn into Thanatos, but it soon passes. Brilliant.

This is so awesome that maybe I should capitalize it: it's AWESOME! It would be hard to find problems with it even if I put it under the magnifying glass, but take back a step or two and then you'll really appreciate how well it's put together. Ambience, emotions, balanced mix - it's all there and it all works in harmony. What a great unusual cover! You know a cover is really good when it's actually better than the original - and that's true with this one. What a pleasure to listen to!
