Delphic - Doubt

This is Delphic, a pretty new band (formed in 2009, if I recall correctly), and below you see their third single, Doubt, off their debut album Acolyte.




After watching Subdivisions remade by Jacob Moon a several hundred times now, I felt inspired to experiment a little as well, since my guitar pedal board has a built-in looping device. It's a little clumsy and leaves basically no room configuration, but with some effort you can build yourself small tunes and play along.
What I did was try and remake aforementioned Doubt to play it on a single guitar using only one looping device and several (three) different guitar sounds. This is the result:






Yes, my singing voice kinda sucked. But I swear it was the low quality mic! And I was hoarse as well. Also it was late and I didn't want to annoy the neighbours. And... yeah.

Song Comparison (inspired by Tiny): Peter Gabriel

Songs sometimes have different versions. There is the original, of course, and if it's wellknown there might be a cover or a remix by other artists. At times, the initial artists decide to re-record the song, trying a new, more modern approach. Or they just record it in another language. Peter Gabriel had a few songs that went through the process of all of the above.

One song I'd like to point out in particular is Here Comes The Flood, one of my alltime favourites (at least one version of it is). And since it's all done by the same artist, it's totally different from what Tiny does! Right?
I found four different versions in my Gabriel collection (and the interwebs). Without further ado, here they are. (...after the jump.)
