Haha. I love this piece. He can´t be serious. He is a suprisingly decent singer though.

could be a cover I suppose, I thought it was the original through some really bad eq. but if it is a cover there is no reason we could know it's squarepushers voice singing it.

I meant to say there is no way I could know. Not we. Meaning I only downloaded the album not bought it so I don't have liner notes. But yes I suppose the internet would be a source to find this stuff out too. but then I don't care enough.

i think its kinda rushy..... subtle, delicate.... has a mood...... love the banging symobls, hi-hats. The voice is great........... good old Tom..... he´s a fucking talented nutter. A legend... must get the stuff he did on that Lo
Recordings sampler.. Tom Jenkinson and freinds. Anyone get it?

I don't like that cover at all, but his voice is pretty delicate and interesting... cool approach. The music just doesn't do it for me.

i feel the complete opposite... i love the music and instrumentation... but his voice is very weak... hence why is so buried in the mix

if you want to hear a good joy division cover, listen to NIN cover dead souls.

Not ''good'', just ''interesting''... it was weird and got my attention, ''(whudda fuck iz ZAT?'') and I find myself listening to the song just to hear his weak-ass voice. Some kind of perverse fascination with it... it sucks, but I like it.

if you listen to the song and mess with the equalizers enough, you can hear the voice a lot better.
my car and my computer don't play the song that well, but I played it on some 15" speakers over a pa system and it sounded a lot better

i like tom's singing on love will~ better than his rapping on f-train. people have criticized this cover for not being different enough, but i think tom took some significant creative liberties with it. it's sung differently. ian curtis sings with his whole heart, and tom is singing it like a shy boy in love who is having some trouble getting the words out (obviously the shyness is on purpose, give tom some credit). the instrumentation is much softer and more acoustic than the original too. i really like his cover, but if we MUST think in black and white terms (which gets tiresome on this board, don't you think?) then the original is obviously better.
good joy division covers besides this one: nin 'dead souls' bis 'love will tear us apart' (a humorous cover) and the entirety of the 'a means to an end' tribute album, especially the covers by girls against boys, moby, tortoise, and low.
