Artists: Astrud Gilberto with Stan Getz
Album: Getz/Gilberto
Cut: "The Girl From Ipanema"
April 1964 Verve Records
Verve is to Jazz what 4AD is to goth/darkwave/underground music.
Getz/Gilberto became one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time, and turned Astrud Gilberto, who sang on the tracks "The Girl from Ipanema" into an internationally celebrated musician. Jazz-Bossa Nova!

Still think this album is great on late nights and weekends. Listened to this album so many times I wore it out back in the 80's. Saw them on tour a few times back then, and glad I did. Amazing concert experiences!
Let's face it, just about anything released by 4AD kicks butt over most of today's drivel.

I was about to say that's one way to describe Xymox for those unfamiliar with their extensive body of work. The Cure was more hit-oriented, stemming from Robert Smith's clear pop songwriting sensibilities. Xymox is far more about atmospherics.
Then I remembered this "hit" from Xymox, before Anka Wolbert left, "Imagination" the album's third single, charted at No. 85 on the Billboard Hot 100, generating Top 40 radio airplay and MTV rotation of the Imagination (Edit) single video, you might have heard it as it was a much more mainstream/pop sound (thanks in part to uber-producer Peter Walsh who added his trademark polish and sheen to the band's heretofore edgier sound), but not know the artist:
Artist: Xymox
Album: Twist of Shadows
Track: "Imagination"

RE: OT: CUSA board Music thread (what are you listening to right now?)
these two chicks basically do updated cover songs. But also pretty good to hear some of these old songs today:
Artist: Marsheaux
Album: E-Bay Queen
Track: "Pure" (ne the Lightning Seeds/Ian Broudie)
June 30, 2004 Undo Records
Marsheaux is a Greek synthpop duo formed in Athens in 2003. The group is composed of vocalists, songwriters and keyboardists Marianthi Melitsi and Sophie Sarigiannidou. The name Marsheaux is derived from the first syllable of each band member's name. Both members sing almost exclusively in English. Andy McCluskey of OMD said about this band: "I do have a soft spot for Marsheaux I have to say. They have a certain sort of wispy, melancholic charm".
Artist: Marsheaux
Album: E-Bay Queen
Track: "New Life" (ne Depeche Mode)
June 30, 2004 Undo Records
Artist: Marsheaux
Album: E-Bay Queen
Track: "Popcorn" (ne Gershon Kingsley,
June 30, 2004 Undo Records
MegaBlocks never looked so good
and the original synthpop, Gershon Kingsley from his album Music to Moog By, from way back in 1969! But I like this Hot Butter version which was a hit back in 1972. The Hot Butter recording peaked at no. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and no. 4 on the Easy Listening chart.
Artist: Hot Butter
Album: Hot Butter
Cut: "Popcorn"

Those are good ones you posted. Always loved LnR's version of the temps' "Ball of Confusion".
I saw the Cult open for Metallica on the Black album tour, which was quite the evening I will say; saw the Cure a couple of times mid-career; saw LnR back in 1986 when they came onstage as the Bubblemen for the encore:
Artist: Love and Rockets (The Bubblemen)
Single: "The Bubblemen Are Coming"
1986 Beggar's Banquet Records
Video starts with a clip of the Bubblemen singing the fight song for some English soccer team. If you saw Love and Rockets on their 1986 tour, you'll remember the Bubblemen coming out at the end of the show with the same lightbulbs on the mike stands as in this video.
