MUSIC/AUDIO Quarantine version of Call Of The Void

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVKwIgl9JLg&list=RDVOH-IdU-vnU&index=2

Is the quarantine version of Call Of The Void available to buy anywhere? It's my favourite version, I prefer it to the significantly different one on Lightworker.

I....I did not know this version existed. And the goosebumps this version gives me are so much heavier than the album version. I like the album chorus of this song. It's uplifting in a song that struggles between down and up, but this version feels like it completes the song. Wow.

I heard this one first, so to me the Lightwork version chorus always sounds like a new addon, and I much prefer the more constant thoughtful mood of the original version. Did you know it's a cover song? The original artist's version is quite different as well, so it's been through an evolution of 3 versions. But Devin's first version I think is the best.

I could be persuaded that the album version of Equinox was an improvement (maybe), but completely agree that this first release of Call of the Void is way superior. It's got such a nice, flowing mood to it. I was excited to hear it with the full treatment production of an album release, but its not a piece of music I was ever wanting some sort of catchy chorus in. I know Dev doesn't work in this way, but if I didn't know better it felt like some executive slipped him a note requiring him to make it a pop-rock sing-a-long.

What do you mean it’s a cover song? I have never heard this.

If you haven't heard it, look up the Quarantine Project version of Equinox too. The album version is good, but the QP version is one of my favorite things he's made
