December is the month of lists for music lovers, but THE list for many people is the Top 2000 Aller Tijden (Top 2000 Of All Time), which annually afflicts the national radio for over a month. “If you can’t beat them, join them”, producer Maurice Dumont thought. For this episode of Free Radicals he selected eleven very divers reinterpretations from Top 2000 hits. From jazz to ambient, from folk to funk.
