Yeah that's right....Love Will Tear Us Apart No hyper-beats running rampant here.....it really is a very beautiful version (second only to the original!!!) plus SQUAREPUSHER's doing the quiet/whispered vocals.

Wanna know where to find it? it's on the new mini-LP "Do you Know SQUAREPUSHER" released next Monday. Go to Warp's site to hear a 2 minute sample. FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!

Well i hope its better than that pile of crap that was that bluemonday accoustic version that was posted up here recently....! what a load of "£$%£ that was!!! :lol:

Well, that was unusual! It's a decent cover. I guess that's Tom Jenkinson on vocals. I figured it was going to sound like a scaffolding accident with vocals like a hyena, but it actually sounds kinda like Low.

I actually kind of like the Cure's version a bit. The problem with covering Joy Division is I don't think bands should try to match Ian Curtis' vocal style, it just screams "IMPOSTER!" I know they probably want to retain the original feeling, but it just doesn't fly well with me.

I don't know why but I liked. Maybe this is a good cover because it's not a copy of the original.
