Microfilm Covers Sufjan Stevens’ “Chicago”

Electronic duo Microfilm have covered Sufjan Stevens’ “Chicago” for their new single and given it a synth-pop treatment. After including three different remixes of “Chicago” on The Avalanche and recently stretching his own musical boundaries, Soof would approve of Microfilm’s minimalist techno take on his sweeping song. Hypeful is digging the track, too - the guys have processed it through their unique electro sound and kept the joy of the original. You can stream “Chicago” on Microfilm’s MySpace page and the single is available for purchase on iTunes backed with a new b-side, “Ralf & Florian” (an homage to the dynamic duo who wrote electronic music into the history books).

I dig this version.
I disagree. It’s okay, but the downbeat (basic track) is terrible to me. laughable.
“Downbeat (basic track)”??!
That doesnt even make sense.
