I think BLT by Frente! is good.

And Dead souls by Nine Inch Nails and Transmission by Low are also worth listening to.

I think Frente BLT DO justice to the orginal version. It does not sound in any way like the original one but the feelings this track gives you are the same. When i first heard the track on the radio, it was just like listening to the "real" BLT again. Anyway, it is a really good cover especiallly when you compare it to the same song covered by Commercial Breakup!!!

Have you listened to the most recent cover of Ceremony done by The Echoing Green? I think it's pretty nice. Not sure, but I think we've put it in the cover versions section of this site (multimedia menu).

Well.. just go to our cover version area in the audio archives here.. the Echoing Green is not yet online, but there is plenty.

As for the best cover? Well.. I better shut myself, because people will start flaming me, and say that they can't compare to the originals :)

Sure true, but I do like Frente's BLT, Orgy's Blue Monday, Galaxy 500's Ceremony and Velocity Girl's Your Silent Face...

But I must agree, there is much more good Joy Division covers.. starting by New Order's ones!

Can't remember, Mr. Bouncey. Try mp3.com and search for The Echoing Green. They have their page in there.

I did a gig in 1989 and opened with Touched by the Hand of God - I've even got it on tape. Ferente's BLT wins it for me, and I've got that on tape. I wouldn't mind Paul Weller doing Temptation, I'm sure I could find a blank tape for that, mmm, no, I've used them all.

Then you made a point here and that's a good question. Which artist would you like to make a cover of a NO's song and which song would it be?????

What about Moby's version of "New Dawn Fades" from the film soundtrack to "Heat"??? (Bloody good film.) I'm not a big fan of his but he respects the original and tries to sound like an American version of Ian Curtis. He also did a quieter version live for BBC2 ,which I've got on video somewhere.Quite profound me thinks.

Okay...

I know this did say New Order covers...but I was rifling through my CD collection when I came across this one that I had completely forgotten...it's A MEANS TO AN END The Music of Joy Division, a 1995 release that has 14 covers of Joy Division (really Jeff, you don't say?). It includes She's Lost Control, by Girls Against boys (not bad), Moby's New Dawn Fades, a couple of very toned down versions of Transmission and Atmosphere(how can you cover Atmosphere with NO drums?!?!?!?). A vapid version of Love Will Tear Us Apart, a cover of Isolation by none other than Smashing Pumpkins (calling themselves Starchildren), a damn good version of Warsaw by somebody called Desert Storm. Not really a bad disc...

I agree, Velocity Girl's "Your Silent Face" is really good as is Galaxy 500's "Ceremony ". I have to say that I don't like Orgy's "Blue Monday" though...

I think I will check out some of the covers in the cover section of the site...

Chris...how can you not be a fan of Moby...he has boundless energy on stage (I can't recall anyone else, that I have seen LIVE) break a freaking keyboard in half. We went to see the Shamen back in oh, I think it was 1990, and we had never heard of the man...he had a Dallas crowd bouncing around like yo yo's...and that is hard to do!!!!
