TOP: 3 covers of kylie's "confide in me".

Recently Hurts did a BIZ-session for Sun TV where they have covered the famous Kylie Minogue's song. They also perform their own songs "Wonderful Life" and "Blood, Tears and Gold".  The full version of the session you can watch here, really wonderful and epic. 

It is the seventh cover of the song that Kylie released as single in August, 1994. So we decided to make our own chart of the best 3 covers that were ever made on "Confide in Me". And you won't be surprised by the fact that Hurts' version of the track takes the first place.

List of bands:

1. Hurts

2. Esben and the Witch

3. The Sisters of Mercy

mirrors // released ep and video.

Mirrors' video for their new single was released yesterday. It was directed by Simon Pollard and filmed in the band's native town, in Brighton's The Duke of Yorks.

The release is called "Ways to an End" and consists of two versions of the title track and two more songs. As for me this work is more Kraftwerk like, inspired by the guru of electronic music. The spirit of early 90s is also presented, especially in the video.
