This Digitally-Altered Major-Key 'Losing My Religion' Is Very Unsettling

This version โ€” edit? remix? โ€” of R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion," digitally processed so that it now uses a major scale, is more than a little bizarre to listen to if you're used to the original. I think I prefer the "Major Scaled" version of "Riders on the Storm" (retitled "Riders on the Rainbow") which turns the ominous original into a pleasant, mellow, jazzy number.
