This is the best version of In C I've heard (granted I've only heard a handful). It is, in a manner of speaking, a pop version - as far as pop-minimalist hybrids go - given that what sets it apart from the others is its bass and drums parts. I know this sounds like a disaster, but it works remarkably well here. It helps that the bassist and drummer are pretty inventive - until the later sections when they settle into a simpler backbeat groove, but at that point the structure that this provides is welcome. More importantly, they make the piece even MORE propulsive than the original. L'infonie also takes more of a cosmic mess approach than Terry Riley's version (which is adorable, but small-sounding), which strikes me as the most effective way to tackle the piece.
