In all honesty, I'm pretty meh about this. 1) This is by far not my favorite BoC song, although it has a nice mystique surrounding it and 2) I don't like the sound of his drums. I'm sure this was a painstaking recreation that took a lot of time, but you can tell his drums aren't live and you know for a fact that in this era of BoC recording, the drums on the original were live. Something just feels blah about it because of that. It's something, though.

I keep returning to this one lately, there is something so mysterious to this track I can't quite put my finger on. There is a certain flow with the vocals and rhythm combined, it sounds so liquid and smooth, very wavey. Makes me grin every time :twisted:

I really appreciate the work Machinedrum did here, even though the result is obviously not perfect, it couldn't be. It would make me happy to ever hear this track in its full glory, as a proper release. One can only hope :)
