Wierd shit in Covers Land...
Yup, not all cover versions are straight forward.
386-DX is - well, frankly I'm not sure...
Are they/he/it some russian midi covers band? a post modern art installation deconstructing the notion of authenticity in a digital age? a bad joke? Most likely, all three...
Noel Morrison from Epitonic says:
"Although on the surface the music of 386 DX is undeniably humorous, the project uncovers a series of deeper questions about the complexities of authorship in the digital age. 386 DX was invented and developed by Alexei Shulgin in 1998. The "band" has "performed" over 40 concerts in various locations throughout Europe and the U.S., and also "plays" in public spaces as a street musician. Who, exactly, is 386DX? 386 DX is a computer, built by a hardware manufacturer, who plays songs written by famous groups, using software created by a third party company."
There are lots of covers on the 386-DX website, including songs originally by the Sex Pistols, Metallica and Nirvana,but this rather poignant offering gives a flavour...
