Lampshade vs. Nikolaj Nørlund

When it comes to covers I can't get enough. Eg. I love the new compilation: "Hollywood mon amour" which includes great covers of cool moviesongs from the 80's. Also I love the new Seal album which is filled with grand soul and all covers. Some times it just work. I Dk a new compilation just came out containing great dane classics called "Kender du det" - referring to Søren Kragh Jacobsens great classic. On the album is also a new version of "Den støjende tid" which was made by what I think is a genius, the great Nikolaj Nørlund. It is a very melancholic song based one of poems by the late popular cult author Michael Strunge. The new song is very different, not as melancholic but I would still like to draw attention to it. I think Lampshade did a great job, but I think I would miss the melancholic tone from Nikolaj Nørlund. What do you think?
