Cover of Rid Of Me in the style of DOOM ?!?! That has to be quite a niche crossover, but it works for me ...

Hello Orange Monkey, thank you for sharing this!
I used( and still do sometimes) to play doom while listening to PJ, so this is a more than welcome finding!

Circuit des Yeux's cover of "The Devil". Very different and a bit darker. Very Diamanda Galas like.

Oh wow, thanks for posting, love this take on the song! Saw her gig a few years ago, great live performer.

This is ultra anecdotic and more a sample than a cover (couldn't find a "they mentioned PJ" kinda thread on the forum, apologies if I missed it)

In 2001 a PC video game inspired by The Fifth Element movie (1997) named New York Race came out, the game soundtrack is quite cool, drum'n'bass/alternative 90's oriented, it seems that they sampled the intro of Kamikaze (also later used by Polly on the demo of "Shame") which had just came out a few months prior on Stories, it's here at 2:00:

Unless it's something that Polly sampled herself from elsewhere ? If so I'd love to know

But that OST has many samples, I spotted one from "In Your Face" by 808 State around minute 20 I think, also reminded me that Tricky played a small part in the film (Zorg's subordinate) aah the 90's...

[TheNightingale]

While I think it’s possible they sampled it directly from Stories, I guess it might be just the drum pattern on Polly’s sequencer that she used to demo both “Kamikaze” and “Shame”, that other artist might have used as well.

Oh that's a good point !

not a cover but "Send His Love To Me" is sampled here.

^ Thanks for posting! Polly recently put Dean Blunt on her playlist, mutual admiration it seems.

I think these are pretty good..
