This will probably qualify as an "under the radar" cover version; after all, we are working with an almost twelve-minute original by a Japanese guitar noise band that is not exactly a household name. Les Rallizes Dénudés had a small but devoted following in their 1970s heyday, and they are exactly the kind of artist that brings to mind the Nurse With Wound universe. Now normally I would through up my ears in frustration at a cover that is so close in sound, texture, and performance (both the original and this cover are exactly 11:44 in length), but this is so obviously a work of loving respect that it works just great. Far from being karaoke, this is a supremely talented artist paying deep respect to an influential forebear.
