You can argue that S3 took any song they covered, and made it better than the original. Though, with "Transparent Radiation" it was more of a case of taking a free, open ended song, and turning it into a minimal masterpiece. It's really hard to compare the two as it's apples to oranges, two completely different takes. Depending on the day though, I prefer either one over the other.
