Gotan Projedt - Diferente

Gotan being the "inverse" of Tango, this is a beautiful tune combining elements in tango style like a bandoneon with a beat and electronics. Published on the Argentinian band's album "Lunatico" from 2006. This is the official (a bit weird) video.

Placebo - Running Up That Hill

Another wonderful cover version which I like even better than the excellent original.
Placebo published this version of Kate Bush's song on their album "Covers" in 2003.

Nine Horses - Birds sing for their lives

This band consisted of David Sylvian (former singer of the band Japan, then following a solo career), German electronic producer Burnt Friedman and Steve Jansen, brother of David Sylvian. This song is interesting from a sonical point of view and really beautiful.

Published in 2007 on the album "Money for All"

Björk - Who is it (Bell Choir Mix)

This song appeared on the Album "Medulla" in 2005, but this seems to be a single version. She is wearing a dress made of bells made for this video.

Placebo - Song To Say Goodbye

Puddle Of Mudd - Blurred

The U.S. band from Kansas City published this tune in 2001 on their debut album "Come clean".
I like the use of flageolett sounds (harmonics) on the guitar and the raw yet harmonic voice of the singer.

Silent Ganges - Maneesh De Moor
Published 2006 on the album "Sadhana".

Lovely combination of a trip hop influenced beat with traditional Indian instruments and a beautiful female singing voice. If you happen to know the singer's name, please reply with it.
