Best Covers: Ramin Djawadi “A Forest”

No doubt you can hum Ramin Djawadi’s iconic Game Of Thrones theme song in your sleep, but did you know that he is also the ghost in the machine for the music of Westworld? In addition to writing the sci-fi thriller’s harrowing opening score, setting the stage for the asymptotic nearing of AI singularity, Djawadi also covered all of the songs you hear interpreted into the old-timey clang of the player piano. So far the songs that Djawadi has reconfigured for the Western aesthetic of Westworld include Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun,” Radiohead’s “No Surprises,” The Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black,” and The Cure’s “A Forest.”

Wolfmother’s victory

Hard rock band Wolfmother‘s 2005 self-titled album went gold in the USA and triple platinum in their native Australia, and it also won a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance. Their awaited fourth album, ‘Victorious’ (2015) is an electrifying testament to the depth of the talent of Andrew Stockdale, the band’s writer, singer and guitarist. Recorded in the legendary Henson Studios in Los Angeles with Grammy winning producer Brendan O’Brien (Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Bruce Springsteen), the album’s songs are provocative, ingenious and powerful. Tonight in sala Apolo.
