Alison Moyet’s first album in six years, “The Minutes”, a collection of synthpop / electronic original songs was released this week. So far it has been receiving rave reviews from her fans and the media. Alison rose to fame in the 80s as the voice of Yazoo along with Depeche Mode’s Vince Clark before branching out into a solo career. The album almost didn’t happen as every label she approached wanted her to do a covers album (or appear on reality tv). Cooking Vinyl Records eventually signed her and recording began.

It’s been an amazing last few months or so with unexpected new music and/or tours from New Order, Depeche Mode, New Order, David Bowie, Suede, Pulp and more. While we once again were denied a reunion of The Smiths (they turned down yet another overture from Coachella), today brings another surprise.
The Postal Service, an Indietronic duo comprised of Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie) and Jimmy Tamborello (DNTEL, Headset) took the Indie world by storm in 2003 with their LP, Give Up. Infectious pop from top to bottom, the quirk was that Tamborello recorded instrumental tracks and sent them to Gibbard who recorded vocals and sent them back all through the US Postal Service.

From the iconic red rose logo on a black sleeve, to the home run release of FOUR hit singles (Personal Jesus, Enjoy The Silence, Policy Of Truth, World In My Eyes), Violator is widely regarded by many as Depeche Mode’s finest hour. Of course, DM fans are a finicky bunch, so it really depends on who you ask (I’m a Black Celebration guy myself). Violator, released in the spring of 1990, is undoubtedly one of Mode’s finest achievements, and proof that a band can update its sound with the times. This timeline cover pays homage in the best way possible, by mimicking the exact layout of this now classic album.

Cover songs are always an interesting topic to debate. Has a song been improved, remade, or just re-recored verbatim? When is too soon to cover a new song? What classics have been covered to death? Clan of Xymox is a band who has stood the test of time and released several decades of albums that (for the most part) have kept their fans devoted to them. Their latest album due out on October 5, 2012, should get the cover song debates going among those fans, as it is an album of 11 cover songs.
“Kindred Spirits” was entirely played, sung and recorded by Leipzig based Ronny Moorings. It covers some already highly covered tracks such as Heroes by David Bowie which was released as a single on May 18th – in two different versions, a slower industrial version as well as a pop version. Other common covers included are Radiohead’s Creep and New Order’s Blue Monday. The album also offers some unique explorations of Nine Inch Nail’s – Something I Can Never Have, Joy Divisions’ Decades and Red Light by Siouxsie and the Banshees.
