Everybody Wants to Rule the World covers

After watching Mr. Robot’s S02E08 and heard Portia Doubleday sing Everybody Wants to Rule the World in a karaoke bar I got totally hooked on the tune and just couldn’t let it go from my head. And since the whole thing started with someone else singing the song and it was not the original Tears For Fears version, I started searching for even more renditions of this track.

This is how I came across the 2014 Spotify Landmark recording of the song with the original band just 30 years after and it’s an awesome video to watch, also the guys just totally kill it even 30 years later. This video is right here below, and then there are some more covers after it that I found interesting.

Ludovico Einaudi – Taranta Project

World music kind of thing. Italian traditional music from Salento mixed with North African and Turkish flavours, tuned to the voices of jazz, rock, folk, and in some cases soundtrack-like grandiose orchestrations. For me it resembles Dead Can Dance on quite a wide range from the medieval sounds to the Spiritchaser’s ethnic fusion. It is a very unique and interesting record.

Hiatus Kaiyote – Tawk Tomahawk

Smooth jazzy, laid-back music for a Sunday afternoon chillin’. Also great album cover and band name. Their new album is out right now, but not yet available on Rdio and anyway this one is worth a mention on its own.

Elég szürreális zenére bukkantam Cosmik Connection néven. Philippe Garcia dobos és Gaël Horellou szaxofonos duójáról van szó, ami a jazzt és drum & bass-t ötvözi, de valami egészen különös módon. Ugyanis mindkét stílusból a szélsőségeket hozzák, így a skála végeiről kanyarodik egymásra a free jazzes improviáció, a száraz jungle és a dörmögő bassline. Közben pedig néha középtempóban kalandoznak egy-egy elektromos dub sound vagy triphop tempó erejéig.

Én a Grand Panache című albumukat hallgattam most, tudom ajánlani, könnyen elérhető darab, és vélhetően minden benne van, amit ezekről az arcokról tudni érdemes. Kedvenc track talán a Big Space, amiben a ‘90-es évek éjszaka autózós filmjeleneteinek esszenciája sűrűsödik össze.
