Re: (313) Strings of Life
I think the acoustic guitar version might have been "Strings aint what
they used to be" .I heard it once and personally ,I hated the idea of it.
It was a total rip off.The title in itself is a fair bit cheeky.I can't
remember who it was by but it was a more progressive house kind of style.
For some reason I quite like the idea of an orchestra playing it .I don't
even know ,myself ,why I consider one a rip off and the other not .Maybe
its because the orchestral one sounds more like a tribute and the other
is kicking sand in Derrick Mays face.
