Drop Out Orchestra 'Holding On' (Riot Gear)
This will rock your ears. The Drop Out Orchestra are the world heavyweights when it comes to cover versions. Actually, they don’t just ‘cover’ a track; they literally tear songs apart and make them their own. Here, they take us into unknown territory that very few producers are capable of as they rework The Rolling Stones’ ‘Miss You’. ‘Holding On’ is a stone-cold groover with strung-out guitars, a driving electric bassline, touches of the original sample and (wait for it)... a saxophone solo.
