new order covers - the almanso files

i wanted to know if any NOOLer ever made a cover of any of our beloved bands. because i did on the New Order Homage Party we did in Buenos Aires a month ago. and i wanted to share with everyone those tracks. all were acoustic versions (voice and guitar) because i was rebuilding my band at the time.

i hope you like them and please feel free to put your thoughts here.

and if anyone has any cover please post it here too so everyone could enjoy it.

well, here they are. 6 acoustic versions of New Order and related bands done by me:

hehehe. maybe that was what the "regret cowboys" were doing! :D

**Originally posted by Majestic Head Swings!Just listened to Ceremony - Galaxie 500's version is now no longer my favourite - that's bloody brilliant!!!

wow, thanks! that really caresses my ego!

**Originally posted by Majestic Head Swings!Ummm - didn't like New Dawn Fades though - sorry...

don´t be. it´s ok. it´s strange what happens with that song. when i played it live most of the audience thought it was "good" but also said it was weird to listen to an acoustic version of new dawn fades. it seems like the song is "untouchable" for JD fans. i´m not quite as fan of JD as i am of NO, so maybe i don´t have any "prejuices" at the moment of doing a cover. i also know it´s difficult to sing where ian sang before. that doesn´t happen with barney, does it?

Originally posted by Love Will Tear Us Apart I´m a huge Joy Division,and you know about that.Your version for my pearl New Dawn Fades is fantastic and thousand times better than John Frusciante acoustic version for it.Congratulations.

you´re very kind, julio. i´ve never listen to the frusciante version, though

Hey, if there are enough musician members here that covered a NO/JD, we could make a NOOL Tribute to New ORder cd. :D

There are samples of the EP in the bootleg section I think ;)

Should do the one you sent me soon.. it's horrible, since I'm using the train to go to work, I don't have time to listen to my CDs in the car so I'm waaaaaaaaay late in listening to the stuff I've received..

Would be REALLY cool to do that.. but I have no idea if this is doable and the laws and everything....

I'd have to ask François since he's doing one right now, but there is 2 NOOL members on it (Brendan Sun & Geoffroy Klumpes) (I appologize in advance for the spelling of Klumpy's last name)

Where's the whooping?

Oh yeah, Almanso, do you want me to put there here in our cover archives?

If so, please provide a small "description" of each song explaining what you wanted to do or why you did that track, etc.. not too long though! Would be nice, and provide date and location information.

And Tim, if you want me to do the rest, let me know, I'd be happy to put them online!
