Inspired by Bowie's 'Pin Ups', 'Through The Looking Glass' featured bold re-imaginings of songs that had shaken band members' respective worlds during childhood and teenage years. The chosen covers ranged from Roxy Music's 'Sea Breezes' to John Cale's 'Gun' to Billie Holiday's sorrowful touchstone 'Strange Fruit'. The album also featured two hit singles 'This Wheel's On Fire' (based on the Julie Driscoll cover of the Dylan song) and Iggy Pop's 'The Passenger'.
