"Covered"
(Obsessive)
Released: 07 July
2003

Label Website

This compilation has been put together
by Xfm DJ James Hyman, a man with a CD collection that
embraces 300,000 titles, so it probably wasn’t asking
too much for him to come up with 20 alternate versions
of well-known songs that are (nearly) all killer, no
filler. The exception is Kelly Osbourne’s ‘Papa Don’t
Preach’, a sop to the market, but the remainder are pure
genius. From Bad Livers’ bluegrass-thrash take on ‘Lust
For Life’ and The Slits’ ‘I heard It Through The
Grapevine’, through Flunk’s languorous reworking of
‘Blue Monday’ and The Droyds’ icy electrobash
interpretation of ‘Girls on Film’ (here presented as
‘Girls On Pills’) to kick-ass versions of ‘Cant’ Stand
Losing You’ (Feeder) and ‘Johnny & Mary’ (Placebo),
Hyman has created THE compilation of the year.
