Cover versions have always played a special role throughout the 15-year career of Apoptygma Berzerk. Even their last studio album, “You And Me Against The World” featured a cult classic: “Shine On”, originally by The House Of Love, stayed in heavy rotation for ages. Now Apoptygma Berzerk present “Cambodia”, their rock-anthem version of the 1982 Kim Wilde hit, kicking off the countdown to “Sonic Diary”(both released on Dec. 1st). This album is a compilation of all the cover versions Apoptygma Berzerk have recorded over the course of their long career – often simply as single B-sides or EPs: From Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters” to The Cure’s “A Strange Day” and “Electricity” from OMD, from “Ohm Sweet Ohm” by electro-godfathers Kraftwerk to “Coma White” from shock-rocker Marilyn Manson. The album also features an extra bonus of three new, previously unreleased cover versions: “Bend And Break” byKeane, “The Damned Don’t Cry” by Visage and “Bizarre Love Triangle” from New Order.
And the limited edition release of the album also contains a 9-song bonus CD featuring some fantastic new remixes.
