Hot Chip's cover of Joy Division's Transmission. I fucking love Joy Division and I think this cover is awesome. Hot Chip has really "grown up" over their past few releases. Thoughts?

Reminds me of Talking Heads more than Joy Division, which i guess is good because the pure energy of the original Transmission can't be matched (Transmission is probably my favorite Joy Division song). Still, this fails to excite me.

it's not a tune to cover in the first place. but one is going to pull something out of their ass and do that. then i say this is pretty fair.

This is an okish "playful" cover but it takes all the brooding energy of the original away, resulting in a terrible outcome, at least from a comparison-point of view. Meh.
It reminds me of those senior coconut Kraftwerk covers lol
This actually is good because it has a latin passionate twist!
