I never knew Prodigy's Out of Space was a cover!

Re: Cover versions that are better than the original
I've never heard of Pomplamoose before? I liked that so am currently listening to some of their other stuff, including quite a few different mashups. They really are quite good.

Okay, not better, but I love the playing for change stuff and this version is superb and it does have JPJ in!

In a similar vein, this is a playing for change version of Soulshine. Originally an Allman Brothers song, Warren Hayes was a one time member and a hugely underrated guitaristTaipan wrote: Tue Oct 21, 2025 2:19 pm Okay, not better, but I love the playing for change stuff and this version is superb and it does have JPJ in!![]()

Re: Cover versions that are better than the original
Just seen this. It's an over-long, inferior version of the Plump DJ's reworking of I feel love - generally known as 'Donna Kebab'.
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

Re: Cover versions that are better than the original
I really do like the proper orchestra doing modern stuff. Ministry of sound and pete tong both do club classics with full orchestras and it's great. Listen to it a lot when I'm on my Peloton.Yorick wrote: Mon Jan 26, 2026 3:33 pm I've heard this on the wireless many times and loved it.

Re: Cover versions that are better than the original
See if you can get tickets for the House and Garage Orchestra. Always a good show, with old skool* acts doing their stuff and covers with an orchestra in the background. Saw them at the Camden Palace a while back and at Brixton prior to that. Both bloody good nights.Nordboy wrote: Tue Jan 27, 2026 7:44 pm

This one always brings the house down.
