Bis Factory tribute?

Ran across this in the alt.music.new-order newsgroup tonight. It seems Bis has released an EP with 4 Factory covers ( 2 NO, 1 ACR, 1 Sec25). Don't know how readily available the disc will be, so I just wondered if anybody in the UK had planned on buying it?

Taking the Bis, aren't they ?

actually, i've got this already. you can order it directly from Optimo regardless of where in the world you're located...only thing that sucks is that although the 12" itself is not too expensive (£5), shipping is nearly as much as the 12" to the US (£4.50...:( ). they also took preorders on this (which is what i did, actually), but that's sort of a moot point now.

also, it's not two NO songs. it's one NO song and one JD song. the NO song in question is "Hurt;" the JD song is "Love Will Tear Us Apart." i heard them do the latter last time they were through Chicago, at an in-store appearance they did before the show they were doing elsewhere in town that night. and it was...okay. not great, but not bad...much as i love them, they didn't offer much new to the song. that and the fact that everyone and their brother have covered LWTUA by now didn't do much for me. :D

sadly, i can't offer you a verdict on Fac2002 yet, cos i don't have a turntable at the moment! it's driving me absolutely mad, too! makes me actually miss living with my mother...o.o;;;;;
