   I find this Black String version quite interesting. However, the introductory solo part with the Korean zither seems a bit too long for me. I'm perhaps a little conservative, but a certain recognisability of the original does matter to me. Otherwise I really appreciate this band.
The Consider the Source's version, on the other hand I find much more convincing. They stick more to the original but still deliver an artistically independent interpretation. This orchestration is really special and unique! I didn't know this band before. I want to discover some of their original work. Thanks for sharing, George!

	I early like the Radiohead original, and these are two favorite bands of mine over the past few years. Each has a great, in my opinion, instrumental cover version. Black String has a sparse cover featuring just the geomungo and electric guitar. Consider the Source's version is played on a custom double-neck guitar with a fretless neck and the bass is played with a slide along with acoustic guitar and drums.
