MP3: Cilihili and DaBook - Orinoco flow

Unsurprisingly, the new P3 Ström collection "Musiken vi hatar" ("Music we hate") isn't really good per se, as much as it is an interesting musical exercise. Really, what do you expect from a collection of artists covering the music they despise? There are limits to how much you can polish a turd and even then, it will never really shine. Of all the selections contained therein, Cilihili and DaBook's take on Enya's dreaded "Orinoco flow" is the one that made me most curious, besides maybe Andreas Tilliander's dubbed-out take on "All that she wants" by Ace of Base, yet another popular track that people love to hate. The latter of the two removes all the pep of the original, leaving nothing but suck, however the former is a stupendously fun reimagination of a much-reviled classic. Like many great covers, any adherence to the original is thrown out the window, so we the listener are instead treated to cut-up disco beats and a reinvigorated chorus melody. Also: "What the fuck is 'Orinoco flow'? What does it mean?" Seriously!

Cilihili and DaBook - Orinoco flow
