Various artists

Especial Specials releases don't come around every day, but when they do they certainly make their presence felt. Red Axes is first up on this sampler for Covered In Gloria, and they do a marvelous job of twisting out a cosmic, warm up acid sound for the outernational crowd. Thool and Marieke do a stunning job with their French cover version of Joe Jackson's classic 80s stomper, ''Steppin' Out'', and then Alaskalaska takes things smooth and sultry when reworking Edwyn Collins' ''A Girl Like You''. Bullion's take on ''Friday'' is right on the money for weirdo pop heads everywhere, and then Reckonwrong brings his wonky alt-Brit sound to bear on his version of Beverely Craven's ''Promise Me''.
