original - takes a minute to kick in
cover - does not take a minute to kick in
the most prominent characteristic of the original is its ability to channel the raw energy of metal music using only electronic devices in a day when they were rarely used for anything besides generic house beats.
the cover eschew's virutally all electronic devices to recreate the chaos of the original using a typical metal band setup. the vocals are still thoroughly processed.
the original clip here is a video edit, there's no little girl singing around the 3 minute mark on the album, nor is there the extended intro. lyrically they're identical. musically it's pretty spot on as well. this wasn't an exercise in interpretation so much as a test to perform something that most people thought could only be pulled off by machines. pay attention to the drummer in the cover, he is SPOT on.
apparently the original was composed after a 'fan' left a note with what would become the lyrics for aphex twin after a show.
