The Nintendos - Around The World (Daft Punk Cover)

This is one of the covers that a bunch of local and international artists have recorded for the freshly released Death To The 90s compilation. 

From yay to nay in a bullet point review:

• Cannibal Koffer transform Blackstreet’s No Diggity into a dark, slightly Nine-Inch-Nails-y song with heavy drums. Possibly my favourite on this compilation.
• Markus & Lukas’ cover of Erasure’s Always removes the sugary, slimy synthie coating of the original and replaces it with a minimalistic and cooler (in the cold sense of the word) sound, plus: I love that short pause between “Am I here in vain?” and “Hold on to the night” (that isn’t there in the original). I just wish they had left out the chorus entirely.
• Some of these songs would sound so much better if the pronounciation wasn’t so sloppy and terribly Austrian.
• However, the most uninteresting and uninspired covers are the most international ones (Nada Surf’s and Haight-Ashbury’s).
