weeping willows - falling (masse remix)

i've already talked about the original song, the spatio kass remixes and probably this remix as well on the intarwebs. it's a great song and i bought the cd-single a long while ago in '02 or '03 and have been loving it since then.

i was reminded of it when it was a big focus on the salazar brothers the last couple of days, or last week even now that they have won awards and been highlighted for their quality production etc etc. swedish hiphop's own archivist claes uggla aka majestic flow was talking about some rarities, remixes and such in his twitter and he mentioned a remix of another song and that triggered me to dig up this track again.

the original had a gary numan and/or martyn ware kind of thing to it and masse's version flipped it into a completely different scene. magnus carlsons vocals are set to a rhythm consisting of a cutup piano rhythm, a sleeker bassline and some crisp drums. the end result is a great version of a great song, the way it should be.
