Go down, Moses

Go down, Moses

Recently, my iTunes decided that it was going to forget where all its files were. Not delete the files—that would be too obvious—but just decide to stop recognising the 100gb or so of audio files that it had been using quite happily for the last 4 years or so. This has mostly been a minor inconvenience, as I'm a subscriber to Apple Music so my music is all automatically synced to the cloud and, however inefficient it is, I can just stream everything until I have the time to fix it. In some cases, though, it's lead to some odd substitutions. I tried to put on a choral version of Go Down, Moses, and instead I got this really weird version that from the sounds of things had been recorded off vinyl, featuring a sepulchral organ and an extremely forceful female singer. While this version is, admittedly, a lot better, and I have become slightly obsessed with it, I can't work out where it came from. The song displays two different album artworks depending on where you're looking in the interface, but no way to enlarge the one that looks like it might provide a clue. It's also not the same as any of the other versions available on Apple Music that I can see.

Is this "hauntology"?
