..since the site doesn't mention them. I could only guess two without the help of AMG, so I did all the grunt work. Now it's up to you whiz kids to nail the correct source!

001/In My Time Of Dying

traditional or Led Zep? (my guess: traditional)

002/Stardust

Charlie Parker or Menswe@r? (my guess : segmentation fault core dump)

003/I Cast A Lonesome Shadow

Hank Thompson & His Brazos Valley Boys?

004/In My Other World

Julee Cruise?

005/Loverman

Written by Davis/Ramirez/Sherman.. Bop, Swing from 40s?

006/By This River

Eno?

007/Lost In The Stars

From the soundtrack from similarly titled film in 1949?

008/Oh My Love

Lennon? The Drifters? CCR? (my off the cuff guess: the Drifters)

009/Das Lied Vom Einsamen Mädchen

Performed by Nico, but written by Gilbert/Heyman?

010/Tiny Girls

Iggy Pop?

011/Candy Says

V.U.? Mark Cutler? (haw haw) (my guess: the Meatls)

(jesus dear god, no more procrastination for me)

"Loverman" = Nick Cave, dear chap. Anyway, why are you bothering with trying to guess via that when you can go to http://www.martingore.com and just read the press release identifying them all? ;-)

...it does seem to be a bit of a 'hoary' old collection, doesn't it? I was hoping the album would feature slightly more contemporary and less obvious influences.....

But why should that be surprising? He's always been clear about what does inspire him, and for the most part that's been sixties and seventies stuff rather than the present. If anything newer music is Dave Gahan's focus.

...I'd have loved to have heard Gore covering one of the lower range Billy Mackenzie tracks - maybe Rhythm Divine. Or even a Kate Bush number.

But Bob Dylan?! Oh no.....

It has to be better than Ministry covering Dylan.
