Cover Bands l-p
The complexity of the covers band business is illustrated by the album comments quoted below:
The White Stripes - Elephant (2003)
Shrouded in a symbolically heavy sleeve (Meg's foot is tied in a nod to their divorce), Elephant was recorded on analogue equipment, with nothing employed that was produced after the mid-Seventies. "Seven Nation Army," a single with a wordless chorus that has seen numerous dance remixes (a true sign of a rock song's crossover appeal depicted by a few cover bands), relayed some of Jack's concerns about his growing fame. Elephant remains their most dynamic release and biggest seller.
Prodigy - The Fat of The Land
Elsewhere the album ranges from Eastern¬inspired trance to a cover of L7's punk-rockiri "Fuel My Fire," featuring dynamic drumming sampled from the Cosmic Psychos'song "Lost Cause."
Courting controversy from the outset "the fat of the land" is a quote from Nazi Hermann Goering¬Prodigy upped the outrage when they released as a single the vicious "Smack My Bitch Up" (whose samples ranged from Andy Williams to Kool And The Gang). The National Organization for Women protested that it glorified violence against women, as did fellow artists Chumbawamba and Moby. Angels. But they confirmed Prodigy were, a! "Firestarter" declared, "punkin' instigators." The Fat Oi The Land complements every collection for a cover band
David Holmes - Let's Get Killed
Winner of a 1997 Muzik Magazine award for his Essential Mix collection-an eclectic assortment of Jimi Hendrix, Northern soul, and movie scores-David Holmes' second album explored his continuing fascination with soundtrack music. By marrying snippets of conversation between tramps, hookers, pimps, and narcotics dealers to a varied selection of dub, ambient techno, jazz-funk, and Latin styles, Holmes created an intense and paranoid soundtrack to the "city that never sleeps," one even more harrowing than the twilight London underworld Sabres of Paradise achieved on 1994's Haunted Dancehall.
Holmes also attempts to rewrite the James Bond theme among "Radio 7"'s frenetic breakbeats. How many cover bands can do this I wonder
Primal Scream Vanishing Point (1997:
Primal Scream remain true chameleons of rock, as are many cover bands. Latterly besotted with the dominance of electro, in their history they have been jingly indie fans, blissed-out drug-induced euphoria seekers, and then bona fide rock 'n' roll heroes. sinister whisper laced throughout. High pitched and beatific, and a destructive force in the live arena. Heck, they even cover Motorhead, as if to prove the point. Out Of The Void"offers up a rare moment of regret-the dazed-sounding Gillespie offers "If I was a child again, I'd be holy and not insane."
