Crazy trance music!

Phwoar.  I just heard the most insane mix of Evanescence’s Hello on DI.fm Vocal Trance.  The song in itself is pretty haunting, so it did lend itself to a genre which is traditionally heavy on high reverb times, but I was more impressed by the fact that it didn’t just SUCK.  Look at the atrocity which is the Radio Edit of My Immortal! I paid for their album, Fallen, which apparently entitles me to a free download of the “Band Version” (as they insist on calling it… I’d go for “Mass-Audiences-are-Stupid™ version”, instead – but then, I probably don’t work in marketing for a reason), which I have declined.

I’m still not over how much the radio edit of that track sucked. Bleh! Anyway. The vocal trance version of Hello was seriously sweet, especially after you consider it wasn’t done in-house – that is, without access to original tracks and other such useful things. So yeah. That’s my randomness for the day over ;)

What else? Oh. Saw Dawn of the Dead last night with Ben and Tori – it was kind of like 28 Days Later, only probably produced on a much higher budget (28 Days Later was a film grant production, but it didn’t really show, aside from the fact that it was shot on digital rather than telecine – even then, they claim it was a deliberate stylistic decision rather than the result of any budget constraints). Oh, and it was more gory and less suspenseful (if that is a word – if not, it is now) than 28 Days Later… that said, it was hilarious at times, although whether this is an inherent attribute of the film itself, or simply a by-product of the audience and company I saw it in is something which I’ll leave for someone else to decide!
