It started out with my obsession over the song "Daydream in Blue" by I Monster. I knew that the song had been sampled by a couple hip hop artists but I didn't know that I Monster's version was not actually the original. The original "Daydream in Blue" was created by a 70's Belgian band called Wallace Collection. Anyways, each version is beautiful in its own way. The melody and instrumentals of each song are astoundingly hypnotic that they are capable of crossing all music genre barriers.

It's interesting to see the parallels between fashion and music in terms of recycling previous trends and making them new. So much can be gained by looking to the past. It gives a nod to the original artist while at the same time bringing something up to date and current with the times.
