You can hear that it really wasn't a match made in heaven.
I love synths, but there are some places that they just don't belong... On the plus side, you can actually understand what Stipe is singing in this version!
We are star stuff which has taken its destiny into its own hands. The loom of time and space works the most astonishing transformations of matter. We are a way for the universe to know itself.

Currently listening to the latest greatest hits. That line "you are the greatest thing since bread came sliced" is still godawful. I struggle to think of a worse lyric.

Have you ever heard of a Mr. A Bell

That lyric is bad because you can tell it is obviously written to be very clever and arch. As bad as a Robbie Williams 'pun'
Still waiting to hear the Adam Freeland, Manhattan Clique and Axwell mixes of Integral.
