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?

So... is it a hit or a miss then?

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.

i don't like it.

i think it was a good interpretation.

we agree to disagree

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.

hot chip is the epitome of hipsterdom.

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!
