An album of various japanese bands covering loveless. The high point (for me) - Boris' version of 'Sometimes':

Beautiful and bleak but tender as well.

"When You Sleep" is a bit of a surprise on this and "To Here Knows When" is also very good while being very different from the original.

You can only cover Loveless if you or your name are vaguely Japan-related:

I do love that Boris version of Sometimes but any time I've listened to it, I've realised it's made me want to hear the original, one of my favourite songs. I'm happy to be alive at a time when it exists.
