The Postal Service – Against All Odds
Another fantastic track from the soundtrack to the movie ‘Wicker Park’ – see here – The Postal Service have put their unique electro-indie stamp on a Phil Collins classic:
The Postal Service – Against All Odds
This find is thanks to someone who, if he’s reading, will know who he is – but as yet I’m not sure if he’s ok with an explicit mention.
Soundtrack - Wicker Park
The track really kicks in at about 1min20s, and for me, is a cut above some of the other versions (incl. Mariah Carey, Michael Ball, Montel Jordan, Westlife…and I’m sure that just scrapes the surface) because it’s expressive without being a ballad in the conventional sense.
Conversely to ‘Such Great Heights’ – where I think the cover mellowed out the original – The Postal Service bring an eighties pop classic into the contemporary sphere…and it’s actually had more Last.fm plays than good ol’ Phil.
