Cover Charge #10 - The Cure to Depeche Mode

Cover Charge is simple: A covers B, B covers C, C covers D and so on, until I loop round, Ouroboros-style, back to where I started.

Last time: Editors to The Cure

Maybe there is a third kind of cover after all, some hybrid of the Straight Bat and Own Stamp. For when The Cure covered World In My Eyes, it was at once both faithful to the source and yet recognisably, unmistakably Robert et al.

Here's the Depeche Mode original, the opening track from 1990's Violator (an album so good it's on the Every Home Should Have One masterlist).

Next time: the Basildon boys take us ... to someone born in Brixton. That's an actual clue, right there. Runaround... now!
