What is outstanding to me (a non drummer) is that a real acoustic drummer can mimic it. Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant. A non-drummer myself with a 12-inch jaw drop at this performance. Fabulous! |

National Lampoon did a great spoof of Mr. Rogers talking to a bass player. When asked if he wanted to visit the Magic Kingdom, the bass player replied, "No thanks, man, I gotta drive." |

an immediate 7 --> 8 just because of the jazz factor. Too cool.

Just saw these guys two nights ago in Madison, WI. I didn't think I knew anything about them, but then I heard this song and was like, Oh, I've heard this on RP... The friend I was there with (who is a huge fan) said it was an Aphex Twin cover and that's probably why I knew it. Nope, I looked it up today and saw that I had rated it some time ago. I've never heard the Aphex Twin version to the best of my knowledge.
Anyway, these guys are tremendous. If you get a chance, check them out live. : )

YES! Bill, loving this jazz representation. Bad Plus's "Velouria" is also quite lovely. Maybe some Brad Mehldau or Christopher O'Riley Radiohead covers, too? Chris O'Riley has an album of Elliot Smith tunes - play "Oh Well, OK" and you'll be my hero for life! :)

This is a cover?!?! I'd love to hear the original, because this is GREAT!
Wacko manic furious drumming set against calming piano with an easily recognizable repeating motif ... and then they break into something tightly synchronized, only to revert into the seemingly unrelated plunking/plinking. Yeah, that's what makes RP such a great find.

Great Cover, would be great to hear on this radio the Aphex Twin original version too.

This is one of those tracks where the comments here, other people's insights, allow your mind to expand and embrace beyond the initial knee-jerk. Like others here, I now get it, but aren't terribly keen on it. I respect the technical ability and syncopation but it doesn't light my candle :-) But of course that's just my singular opinion. Oh yes, recording value is very high too!

I did not know this was a cover of Aphex Twin. I really like this version.

So much for my complaint! Now that's interesting. I have always hated this song. But after re-reading the comments, I think I get it. But I still hate it. And hurrah for RP! Brilliant exposure to a range of music. |

Can't listen to this as it is used as a theme tune for a local NPR morning call in show in CT called "Where we live".
The host is aweful - stutters, cuts off the callers..... |

I like the hyper drumming, but I don't like the drummer's use of buzz rolls. They aren't very even. Oh well.

There is a slight disconnect there...like the drummer is on meth while the pianist is on ludes.
Different though...definitely different. The "one finger" piano part sounds simple, but listen to what's being played by the left hand of the piano player. Now it takes it to a different level of playing, not as simple as it sounds on the outset. Great syncopation between drums and piano. |
