Listen to Alex Clare's dubstep cover of "When Doves Cry"

http://soundcloud.com/ale...-doves-cry

Pretty damn great, IMHO. B-side to his new single "Too Close".

It seems like 85% of the sonic content (and even structural content) of that version is reverb and delay!

Prince has covered Hendrix. And sampled him.

I don't think Prince is too 'holy' or anything to touch, but to my ears this really isn't working.

No, i't just a generic mess. WDC is a difficult song to cover since the original is so good.

After all of these the only cover that is not a complete failior and does it justice is Quindon Tarver's for Romeo + Juliet.

i think that cover is quite horrible & didn't hold my attention at all! i don't like the way he races through it, there's no emotion & the music's gormless

i found a fantastic cover a little while ago, (shaman's harvest) it had loads of views so i think i must be late..

but it's the best cover of wdc i ever heard, it's VERY nice

time flies.
