Did Manic Street Preachers record their version of Inertia Creeps several years before 1998? Reading the article it seems to be in this way, but the voice of Manic Street Preachers version is not Edwards'; it's the same voice of the album version, I suppose. I think Manics recorded all the instruments but not the voice, so maybe they did so even after Edwards' disappearance (February 1995). In fact I don't think Manics covered the song three (or more) years before it was published on the album. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/94.37.10.40|94.37.10.40]] ([[User talk:94.37.10.40|talk]]) 23:24, 21 March 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Internet Album

[edit]

Although I usually hang around the IDM related pages, my GF has recently got me interested in Massive Attack.
