i think i discovered the original when it came out and i saw the video on mtv. rather charming tune and i already was a fan of erland øye/kings of convenience with the röyksopp connection. but this version came to me a few years after and i just loved it.
i knew a little about cornelius and his tracks and liked his style and thought he was very creative. the first thing i heard from him was the single "star fruits surf rider" and it shifts from sweet pop to organized chaos (i.e. breakcore). i thought it was amazing but then again that thing isn't a new concept, björk comes to mind. anyhow...
this version takes the original for a subtle re-grooving and most part of it is just øye and bøe's vocals along with guitar strums with a few accentuations. further along the guitar gets shuffled slightly but it's subtle in the beginning and gets a bit more apparent in the last bit.
i think it's quite refreshing for anyone to do a remix like this but i know you can flip the argument and say that all that cornelius did was to bust out a glorified "acoustic version". and on that statement i have to agree but i really like the song so i don't care.
