The late 90s were good times for Brooklyn's Type O Negative. Their brand of gothic/doom metal had taken a decidedly pop tone culminating in the album October Rust. It all seemed to bode well for the mental state of lead singer Mr. Steele, but alas it was not to last... The band's music would soon imitate life and begin to spiral into much angrier and depressed regions. But still, the late 90s were good times. So here, for your listening pleasure, is the single for their cover of Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl." It's a remix by Charlie Clouser, whose credits include NIN membership and various production work with numerous bands including White Zombie. It's a decidedly fun remix, despite its' "Depressed Mode Mix" title. I've always felt that Type O should do an entire album of covers... that has nothing to do with anything really, just thought I'd share that thought with you.Monday, April 5, 2010
