WHERE THE HOKEY POKEY "IS" WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

Sabbath Under Covers

Posted over 2 years ago
Black Sabbath is represented in full force here on Mog. As far as I could tell though, this is the first cover. Although to be fair, to me this is more of a curio piece than a tribute to the greatness that was Black Sabbath. Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet has turned his remixing skills to a wide group of artists as well as recently collaborating with drummer Steve Reid and Sunburned Hand of the Man. Here he transforms Iron Man's power chords into an acoustic reverie.

And if that didn't cut it for you, and lets face it, if you came here for Sabbath it certainly wouldn't then I give you a kick ass live version of Embryo/Children of the Grave live at Asbury Park NJ 1975.

  3. scotfree says That is very nicely done. Still, you wonder why acousticize this classic *AND* remove the vocals. It's not bad music - I'd just like to know why. The live track speaks for itself. Thanks for the counterbalance.

  6. Bartleby says Four Tet is about the celebration of the New Year, isn't it? It doesn't really matter because it's nice way to usher in the new week. * Thank you for spreading the good word of Four Tet *

  7. brendanhalpin says I dig the cover. I always figure if you're going to cover something, do something different. There's no way to rock harder than the original version, so you've got to change it up. This is certainly a change...
