IZ.

that is better;at least it could be considered an interpretation rather than a straight cover.i'm afraid i'll always prefer that people only butcher songs that i don't hold dear.

I like Izzie's cover better, has the funny French accent as well, but better music

You should listen to their cover of Siouxsie's 'Happy House' then.

Here is the whole free tribute EP Naphtaline:

And then click the 'Naphtaline EP' link, just above 'contact'

Enjoy!

Downloading it all and I'll give it all a listen when I go walk the dog

BTW, this was posted here a long while ago already, that's how I got the link in the first place...

Credits when credits due, of course!

Gaah!

It hurts....

Anyone ever heard of a dutch goff/metal band called "Deaonia"?
They do not excist anymore, but on their album called "Craven", they also
did a very nice cover of Alice!!

If anyone got space.. I've got the mp3

I really only like cover versions when a band take the original and mangles it into their style, like The Sisters did with Emma. I mean, c'mon compare it to Hot Chocolate's original. Its day and night.

Izzy's one is much better - it made me laugh.

G-Pro, could you upload it to rapidshare?

Quite right there
More or less a bit of "Sisters" meets "The Fields"..

That's right... The only right way to cover a song is to lay your own soul in it, if you can't do that, stay off it...

Also Lambchop's This Corrosion does a very good job, obviously (and as someone probably mentioned earlier)

I'm going to have to be awkward and say that it wasn't quite a copy. More of a misinterpretation. The original Alice was a delicate, minimalist affair and has remained so live, to a varying degree. The cover, however, seems to have missed the point and tried to beef it up to the extent that the originally delicacy is lost.

But I'm doing a very good impression of a dodgy music journo, so I'll cut this transmission short

delicate? - more like an intensely edgy and disturbing,tragically beautiful yet stunningly haunting, claustrophobic evocation of unavoidable despair. "minimalist" i like .

Is it just me or is European music fuckin' bollox .
In fact don't answer because it obviously is.

*cue some skinny pasty face trying to persuede us that some s**t Norwegan/ Dutch/Italian band that their brother's friend manages will be the next big thing and that they don't sound like an incredibly weak version of the crappest goth bands from twenty years ago.

and another thing, what's with the endless production line of these so called goth metal bands (mostly European of course) with failed female opera singers ?

The American stuff, being:

1. R'n'B bootyshakin' crap.

2. Gangsta Rap 'I grew up in the hood having a very miserable childhood but look at me now showing off with this fake golden bracelets' crap.

3. Rockbands that still think it's cool to wear lumberjack clothing and a trucker cap. Seattle rock died with Kurt, you pansies.

America has only some very decent Death Metalbands and System of a Down (and even THEY are immigrants so they don't count).

*tongue in cheek OFF*

IZ.

so what you're saying Iz,is that it's only good music if it's from the U.k.?
[/tongue-even-further-in-cheek}

of course, everyone knows the Belgian music scene is crap anyway

Tshhhh

Don't judge before the mailman passes by

we (belgians) have lots of good artists in a vast range of genres. the only problem is the general audience is listening to crap.
