  • I've looked all over the internet for this rendition of Insomnia for years, having watched it when it was broadcasted the first time. Finally managed to find a suitable media file. Most likely to be the best live version of the song. A great shot performing electronic music with actual instruments.

    I think that this is the best example of this piece of music that I’ve ever played or heard. It is not only a great banging dance track and fun to expand on, but this particular example is orchestral, taking the listener in and out of all of the instruments and vocals involved in the construction, producing a fantastically fulfilling experience. Wonderful!
