Was watching CSI tonight and was intrigued by the song at the close. I love Kate Bush, and I thought this version of Running Up That Hill was great. And very dark. Even better.
The group is Placebo. I know absolutely nothing about them, but I think I need to hear some more. Is it just me, or do they remind you of the group from the 80's, The Bolshoi? Darker, but similar. Hmmm....

Way better than the Bolshoi - I find Trevor Tanner and co don't really stand up to my older scrutiny. Loved them back in the late eighties, can't stand their banal meaningless lyrics now.
Placebo's definitely worth a good long listen, but if you've been attracted to them by the Kate Bush cover, prepare to be surprised.

I love the Kate Bush version too. And this one is, well, dark and spooky, kind of like today. Overcast and messy. I love it.
