Orkestra Obsolete play Blue Monday using 1930s instruments

"New Order's Blue Monday was released on 7 March 1983, and its cutting-edge electronic groove changed pop music forever. But what would it have sounded like if it had been made 50 years earlier? In a special film, using only instruments available in the 1930s - from the theremin and musical saw to the harmonium and prepared piano - the mysterious Orkestra Obsolete present this classic track as you've never heard it before."

Instruments used: Diddley bow, Hammered dulcimer, Harmonium, Zither, Musical saw, Singing glasses, Theremin, Prepared piano, Slit drum, Dulcitone, small drum kit, double bass and banjo-uke
