BUMP!


LMAO!!!  All you people who posted on this thread are absolutely fcukin' fantastic, priceless, hilarious!    I've never laughed so hard at anything I was reading before, great stuff! 


On a more serious note, Mr. Sullivan's masterpiece solo effort,  "Navigating By the Stars",  in some ways touches upon the jazz realm, musical spectrum.  What I'd more like to see, or rather hear, is a jazz band  or  classical outfit cover either a few New Model Army and/or Justin Sullivan songs.  Such as the following artists/musicians have covered for the original bands/artists mentioned below.

Check out the links below, if interested.  If you're a fan of either  Boards of Canada,  Radiohead,  OR  New Model Army, I would seriously love to hear your input or take on the following three covers.  If you know of any other great ones or a particular outfit that you'd love to see tackle an NMA or JS song, jump in here and let me know.  This would completely fascinate me, particularly because the three musical genres (rock, jazz, classical) are SO very, very different from one another. 

ORIGINAL   vs.  "JAZZ"  or  "CLASSICAL"  cover

"ROYGBIV"  by  Boards of Canada  vs.  "ROYGBIV"  as covered by  The World

"Everything You Do Is A Balloon"  by  Boards  of  Canada  vs.  "Everything You Do Is A Balloon"  as covered by  LiarConfess & .Ruhepunkt  OR  also covered by  Stargaze - St Giles Cripplegate, London

"Burn the Witch"  by  Radiohead  vs.  "Burn the Witch"  as covered by  Break of Reality

So, what do you think, or how do you feel about  New Model Army / Justin Sullivan  songs being covered in a more  completely instrumental  Jazz  OR  Classical fashion?  Which song(s) do you think would work?  I'd love to know.  Thanking you in advance, for your replies to this question... thoughts and or suggestions.

Ha, ha, thanks for bringing that up 8. I had a good laugh at the very funny suggestions here. Though they went more in the Christmas feel direction..."No-el Rest", muahaha..

As for the topic of NMA songs being covered by a jazz band. Of course i would like to listen to any interpretation by any artists who feel that they want to use a song by NMA and play with it. But i find i hard to think about a special song which would fit from my point of view. I think when an artists chooses a song to interpret, it will have a special meaning to them and that would be the cool thing about it.

I do love it when songs are being covered and also transformed into something new.

The only good cover of a nma song that i know so far, is of course the Sepultura - The Hunt

I like that version but i would call it a light-transformation and more a classical cover, the song hasn't changed that much.

Here are some examples of songs being re-worked on, which i really like:

A Perfect Circle doing People are People by Depeche Mode

A Perfect Circle doing Imagine by John Lennon

I do love to listen to some jazz. I'm a big fan of esbjörn svensson trio
Esbjörn Svensson Trio - Dodge The Dodo
and i've got some Blue Note records, Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Grant Green which i totally love to listen to.

But what is jazz?

I also do love to listen to such things as Naked City - Latin Quarter
or
Estradasphere - The Dance of Tosho & Slavi / Randy's Desert Adventure

and to me this is also jazz.

So, i couldn't really answer the question but any of these groups could do a nma cover and to me they could choose any song they want and i would love to hear that.
