Covered is an inspired collection of cover versions recorded by
artists across a range of genres, compiled by XFM’s James Hyman.

James
Hyman is the multi-talented presenter of XFM’s ‘The Rinse’ & ‘The Remix’
programmes. Having cut his teeth at MTV Europe, he has also excelled as a TV
presenter, producer, music consultant, DJ and journalist. With an infamous
library comprising over a million magazines, more than 300,000 CDs & vinyl
and 20 years of pop videos, to say his music knowledge is extensive is an
understatement!

The CD kicks off with Texan thrash-bluegrass band Bad
Livers’ with their speeded up version of Iggy Pop’s ‘Lust For Life’. Rock and
indie follow with covers from acts like Embrace, California’s Reel Big Fish,
female neo-punk band, The Slits and wild-child, Kelly Osbourne. Other major
artists and familiar names also make an appearance here, with Oasis performing
the suitably rebellious ‘My Generation’ while Feeder take on The Police’s
‘Can’t Stand Losing You’.

Digitalised covers come from the electro
scene’s newest stars. Nelly’s ‘Hot in Here’ gets the Tiga treatment, Germany’s
LB (aka Atom Heart) provides An electronic version of Bowie’s ‘Ashes To Ashes’
and other contemporary offerings come from the likes of The Droyds, Mirwais
and Squarepusher.

Check out the cheeky take on Kylie Minogue’s number 1
hit from Lenny Costanza & The Les Battersby Cubano Orchestra with their
latino ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Bed’, alongside other lounge lizards like
Flunk’s tasteful cover of New Order’s timeless classic, ‘Blue
Monday’.
