and isn't there an entire cd of her doing things like cocteau twins covers? this was back in the days when 4ad was good. (no, just the odd track or two according to this:

amazon.co.uk have a couple of cds (32 and 28 quid each) but nothing with the cranberries song on it. amazon.com have more but doesn't list a lot of the titles.

The album that was released in Hong Kong with the cranberrys cover is called "Wu See Luen Sern" (meaning "Random Thoughts") it is released in Hong Kong.. I don't know whether one can still buy this.

Apparently you can! Follow this link...

ken
where can you find this covers? i looked for a few faye want things in a cd shop in oakland's china town once. i found a couple of cds but couldn't tell what was on it. i bougt one. it didn't have any songs i recognize. only two were good. the rest were tripe but i like her voice but probably still wouldn't be too interested if it wasn't for the fact that i consider her a hot piece of you know what!

If only you asked earlier.. I used to have all the CDs but my mum chucked them all out when we moved house! The cruelty. The main problem is that these albums are all very old (like 1994/5) and they're hard to find nowadays.. the best way maybe to try and K/\zaA the file (is it legal to use K/\zaA as a verb?)

----------

Sundays cover "here's where the story ends" is called "Being Criminal" (Wie Fei Jork Die), track 4 on the album called "Ingratiate Oneself" (Toe Ho Ji Gei). The album is Pink with small white chinese writing in the middle.

Tori Amos cover is on an album called "100,000 whys" ("sup man gwor wai sum more" The magnetic fields nicked the title!), it's track 4 called "Cold War".

S!T!I!N!G! cover is also on "100,000 whys", on track 10 called Do do da da.

--------

Hope this helps, I have some of those files on /\/\P III, I'll have a look for more today too (now that I have BROADBAND!), so email me if you still can't find them! The site I've linked gives very good information on the song informations also.

what's this faye wang up to these days? she was so damn cute in Chunking Express.
I've got her CD that has the song (#3) that goes "oh wa...sha boo sha boo" that song is pretty good but I would like to get the one with the Cranberries cover too...

She is shacked up with Tse Ting Fung (son of famous actor and now is a singer and incidentally a bit of a nob), and she has a kid too (but that was with her ex-husband who was a songwriter man but they divorced i think he dumped her!), and has been fairly quiet i think, despite being on the tabloid news a lot with stuff about her relationship and stuff.
