Tim: ‘From Paris to Berlin’ hitmakers Infernal have ditched their Paw & Lina title and are now heading off on tour around Denmark; to celebrate that, a few tracks a getting beefed up a bit. Like this 2010 one – here’s the original for comparison.
Tim: So, synth line is out and piano’s in, and also added is a big donk underneath and a massive breakdown in the middle.
Tom: That basically sums up the last five years of music, right there.
Tim: An improvement? Eehhhh…not so much as far as I’m concerned, unfortunately, as it just sounds a bit harsh on my ears.
Tom: I never did understand why “Paris to Berlin” was such a hit, and I’d put this in the same ballpark — at least it’s trying to do something different, but that breakdown in the middle just isn’t pleasant to listen to.
Tim: Yes, the original might sound ever so slightly dated but surely not enough that it warrants a redo already. I don’t know, it’s still pretty good, but I think I’ll stick with the original for now.
