What do we prefer?

[alkalinejamie]

I was wondering who prefers the electric, band version of Alone and who prefers the accoustic version?

[poetress]

Acoustic - it's beautiful And actually I love the acoustic So Sad even more - I felt myself melting inside the first time I saw that played *hides, but had to say it anyway!*

I prefer accoustic, romantic music in general I think

[zvezda]

Hmm, I've taken a while to think about this question, and I guess my answer is - it depends! Sometimes I'm in the mood for electronic loudness, and at other times there's nothing like an acoustic version to really touch the soul and reveal the beauty and emotion in a song. I do love the acoustic versions of both So Sad and Alone, and I'm impressed at how well they translate to unplugged. Their unplugged gig in November should be really special.

Eta: Steve has posted a link to a really beautiful acoustic version of Truth as well: musique.portail.free.fr/videos-exclusives/16-09-2010/love-amongst-ruin-placebo-20/

Once again, I love both versions - but this is really lovely

[alkalinejamie]

Agreed - the new accoustic version of Truth is quite stunning. Looking forward to the DVD already even though it has yet to be recorded.

[stellar]

Yes, of an accoustic gig which you will have the chance to win tickets for. It was meant to be recorded on the 9th September but that was postponed until sometime in November. Tickets can be won by entering the promo video competition, or simply by emailing the LAR FB page when the comp is announced nearer the time.

The DVD is set for release early next year.
