5.0 out of 5 stars JD songs by someone else, impossible, how could they get it?, 6 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This album commits the seeming heresy of other bands and singers covering some of Joy Divisions greatest tracks. It even has a woman singing Love will tear us apart, Curtis' final recording for Joy Division before his demise.

If you were deeply affected by the music of Joy Division during a period in your life - like I was - you might have put your Joy Division Vinyl, beautifully boxed cassettes, and original Factory CD's away in a dark corner because of the reminders that this powerful stuff gives you of a dark zone in your life.

Well you know twenty years is a long time. This album is essential for you to cleanse that past. The new versions are almost without exception electrifying. Moby's New Dawn Fades makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Starchildrens Isolation is by far the best version of that track I have ever heard. Joy Division murdered it on Still and this puts it right. Atmosphere. How could anyone ever capture the mood? My god. Its a beautiful version by Codeine who absolutely get it. Transmission is a favourite song of mine. My punk band used to cover it (badly) and quickly so the slow and persistent version by Low is a challenge to me but executed well.

These people havent tried to somehow betray a deep memory. They have brought a new life and colour to with wonderful detailed interpretation of some songs that have deep meaning to me. Its a mark of respect for Joy Division that their legacy can still be vibrant today.

You must buy this if you loved Joy Division. Its an album that let me enjoy these songs again. A kind of a healing thing.

Enjoy

5.0 out of 5 stars Across the Pennines, 21 Nov 2006
By Richard "Alice Collector" (Blackpool England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
It is I suppose typical of what happens-a posthumous hit and the rest of the World claims how brilliant the Joy Division were.
Yes theres nothing like death to sell records!
However shambolic the band was it took a shambolic producer to come up with Love will tear us apart-which was quite a nice moment from the band who would spawn New Order.
America though seem to have adopted Joy Division as some sort of underrated cult-hence this tribute album.
