Data Insight
Copies, Clones & Replicants is an all-covers album, Powerman 5000's only one, and the sole entry in their catalog containing no original Spider One compositions. All twelve tracks are reinterpretations of rock and pop songs from the 1970s and 1980s, ranging from T. Rex and Devo to The Clash and The Church. The recording lineup consisted of Spider One, Dave Pino (Velkro) on guitar, Gustavo Aued (X51) on bass, and Gordon Heckaman (GFlash) on drums.
Cleopatra released this in August 2011 and it is the only Powerman 5000 album with nothing written by the band on it, twelve covers of mostly new wave and rock songs from the 1970s and 1980s. The list runs from T. Rex and Devo through Van Halen, David Bowie, INXS and the Clash, and the band produced the record itself.
