Heroes (somebody had to post it...)


Recommended Posts

Yeah its brilliant.

 

When you compare it to the Philip Glass version of Heroes you realise that the Glass version was instrumental and RDJ had essenatially taken the vocals and added them back to the chopped up Glass-like arpeggios.

 

The story goes that he only had 4 hours in which to do this remix

26 Mixes For Cash is massively underrated.

 

I wouldn't say so but I might be bias in reading more comments from more enthusiastic AFX fans. Great tune, anyway. Lovely version of the song.

Stoked to watch OA II. The movement thing never bothered me, anyone familiar with Druidic studies will recognize the importance of movement to get to higher planes.

Anyone know what the "farcical chain of events" were ?

RDJ had to retrieve the vocals from an armed secure bank vault in a secret location under a mountain in Switzerland. He only had four hours to complete this. Luckily his tank can fly. What a hero. But then, we all can be heroes.
