A shake of the ET beard to Boozie Sioux for alerting me to these two fucking great cover versions.
First up, we have Chromatics covering Kate Bush. Deceptive, this one. You might not think they change much from the original. You'd be wrong.
Next, we have Glass Candy covering Kraftwerk. See comments above, and triplicate.
They're both available on the bands' albums - both of which are fantastic! Great live bands also - Ida No of Glass Candy is wonderfully kooky.
ReplyDeleteAh-ha! Finally a brace of CDs I can buy from Rocking Horse!
ReplyDeleteWait! I already own the Glass Candy one.
ReplyDeleteHey Debbie. Contrast the tone and feel between the two versions: entirely different.

One of the best label around, right now. Really into Desire, too.

Hmm. The KB cover is rather faithful - no bad thing. Where are the deviations of which you speak, ET?
