Hello. I'm covering authenticity and the cover version in my studies at the moment and would like you to make my life easier by telling me interesting cover versions of songs that have occurred, preferably by electronic artists. You'll receive much thanks. |

Covers are for losers, what about THE IDM!?!? Write a paper about IDM, please. |
||||||||
|

Unfortunately I don't get to choose what I write about at the moment. |

the moog cookbook are a notable cover band. one of the members is from air (im not sure who the other guy is) and they do covers of 70-90's rock songs almost entirely played on moog synthesizers. |

Cheers hedphukkerr, I'll check them out! |

I bet you wouldn't write about IDM anyway. You're deserting IDM, aren't you? Leaving us behind, to fend for ourselves? We don't need you anymore, we can distribute all the IDM that's left just fine without you. In fact, there'll be more for everyone now that mr. Hogging-all-IDM-then-leaving is gone. At least show some respect, punk. |

To be a bit kinder, though.. What qualifies as an 'electronic artist'? If you're talking about the more techno/braindance guys, there aren't really a lot of covers around, I think. The Joy Division one by Squarepusher sticks out as about the only one I can think of in that field, really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not only will I abandon IDM to fit in with all my incredibly-tightly-trousered-massive-fringed fellow students, I'll not shut the door on the way out, leaving a draft. I don't have to choose an electronic artist, and the Squarepusher one did cross my mind, but I was looking for something drastically different to the original and hoped that maybe, just maybe, Cylob had covered Bridge Over Troubled Water and I didn't know about it. I kind of dropped myself in it as I did volunteer to bring an example in thinking 'this'll be a piece of piss', completely forgetting that I generally detest cover versions. |

You should bring in Rapeman's cover of ZZ Top's 'Just Got Paid', it's fucking awesome! Or Big Black's cover of Kraftwerk's 'The Model'! That would be like ... the opposite of what you wanted, kind of. In a way. Yes. |

Excellent, soulseek beckons! |

The ginger's cover of Popcorn. Cylob did the drunken sailor track...a classic sea shanty. |

How about the symphionetta shite. |

schneider tm & kpt michigan - the light 3000 (cover of the smiths - there is a light that never goes out). lali puna did a great version of together in electric dreams, if epitonic's still going it was up for free download there i think |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

That schneider tm remix is fantastic. Anyway, I recommend you get the Tom Middleton presents: Crazy Covers Vol 1 album - it has what you need. |

I did a load of acid versions of nursery rhymes, which I never really finished, but which I intend to complete I have my x0x box built. I don't suppose that counts though. You could use [] think this is actually a cover with him singing, rather than a cut up and fucked about with remix. |

Wendy Carlos and her synthesiser transcriptions for A CLOCKWORK ORANGE? I'm not sure if they could be considered true "cover" songs; mention them anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed, the moog cookbook There was another band like this ... hmmm ... mike flowers did some pretty fun covers too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, tv on the radio's cover of mr. grieves (originally by the pixies) is really excellent. and if you really wanna go off the deep end, try the album director's cut by fantomas. its a spastic reworking of famous (and not-so-famous) film themes in the way only mike patton could. |

I was looking up, in the interests of your research, cover versions of "Warm Leatherette" by The Normal, most famoulsy covered, I suppose, by Grace Jones. But I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at by Trent Reznor and Pete Murphy, who I do actually normally like, but on this occassion his affected impression of Count Dracula as played by David Bowie is more than faintly ridiculous. |
||||||||

|
|
yeah that schnieder tm one, also there's compilation of slowdive covers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can't remember the track name, but there's a big beat remix of 'god only knows' which is as good as fatboy slim |
||||||||
|

What the... what the hell could that be? |

I've made a cover of Lovin' you by Minnie Ripperton, does that count? |
||||||||
|
|

Hrvatski did that cover of Fade to black which is pretty strange. Its on Swarm and Dither on Planet Mu |
||||||||

I mean paint it black sorry tired! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Fennesz did these "covers" and i use that word loosely of Paint it Black by the rolling stones and dont talk (put your head on my shoulder) by the beach boyz on the Plays 10" vinyl. if someone ahead of me already mentioned this i am truly sorry. |

Billy Corgan did "to love somebody" by the Beegees, and it was the best track on his solo album (wich was electronic). |
