I think it's also important to examine their intentions in doing "Les
Fleur." It was obviously not exploitive, simply their interpretation
of the song. It's obviously not a situation like Orgy doing a cover
of New Order: a nobody group does a horrible cover of a great,
popular song to reach fame and fortune. Perhaps we should think of it
in terms of a jazz standard or a symphony.
I also don't think they probably thought about it nearly as much as
we have...perhaps it was just for the sheer joy of making it and the
thought of being able to play it in concert. It may not have been
their decision on releasing it as the single.
But its also OK to not like it anyway. Being a DJ, sometimes I have
to step back and try to seperate "I don't like that" from "I wouldn't
play that in a set."
Personally, my favorite on the album is "Twothesame."
Two Pages is still the classic...Paranormal in 4 form is still tha jam...
While we're on the subject of covers/bad covers, what's up with that
horrible verison of "Hit the road Jack" on the new Mo' Horizons
record....ugh...
