I’m pretty excited about the new Four Tet album (scheduled for a January 25, 2010 release). If you aren’t familiar, Four Tet is the moniker adopted by Kieran Hebden. This cover of Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” is notably awesome for two reasons. First, because Four Tet’s take on the track really lays bare the beauty and intricacy of the original composition by a band rarely thought of for “beauty” per se. Secondly, because it demonstrates Four Tet’s intricate, layered and cerebral approach to electronic music. Beyond that, it is just a stunning reinterpretation. Enjoy.

Four Tet and Black Sababth, Wicked, yet totally odd, pairing. BTW speaking of techno vs Sabbath, you may dig Lee Scratch Perrys Dub Step version too:
