'Rooms for the Memory' taken from the 1987 Australian cult film Dogs in Space, (directed by Richard Lowenstein), has been reworked to raise funds for the song’s composer Ollie Olsen.
Adalita, Mick Harvey and Andrew Duffield (Models) have reworked the classic song in a stunning tribute, recorded at Melbourne’s Sing Sing Studios in January this year. Renowned producer Nick Launay, who mixed both this version and the original, also took part, whilst filmmaker Richard Lowenstein filmed the entire day for the video release. Lowenstein directed the original ‘Rooms’ video and has interspersed old footage of Hutchence and Olsen into the modern day.
This extended format of Rooms for the Memory 2023 features Ollie’s Win/Lose Dogs in Space original and a reworked version by Eskimo Joe frontman Kav Temperley
