-(16)-: FORGERIES Vol 1, 1972-1984
(Severely) hard rock veterans -(16)- put out a cover album last month, and as indicated by the title track, "I Can't Get Enough". These covers are not intended to sound like the originals, but to sow the band's appreciation for them. In their words: "We’ve always believed that a great cover is not mimicry but revelation. It’s finding a song that's already lived inside you since youth and letting it crawl out, bruised and changed. "
Yes, the Bee Gees' Tragedy is smack dab in the middle. And what a choice of Scorpions tune! Matthias let it rip on his first Scorpions album, especially on that tune.
Anyway, here are a couple for your perusal:
And how about the album art, by the legendary Marald Van Haastern? Definitely in contention for album cover of the year.
