Those of you watching the Olympic opening ceremony might have recognized this version of Sundowner by Fuck Buttons-gone-solo man Blanck Mass, performed with the London Symphony Orchestra. It makes the transition from electronic to traditional instruments fairly well, and adds an extra bit of epic to what was already a breathtaking piece of aural architecture.
The track is available here.
[If you’re the adventurous type, then you can buy the entirety of the opening ceremony soundtrack. And by adventurous, I mean the kind of person who thinks that the perfect way to follow up Edward Elgar’s ‘Nimrod’ is with ‘Bonkers’ by Dizzie Rascal. Other highlights include a High Contrast remix of ‘Olympians’ by Fuck Buttons (F Buttons for PR purposes) and Emeli Sandé’s rendition of ‘Abide With Me’, which was pretty spectacular.]
