Bedhead - "Disorder" (Joy Division cover)...
I've heard very few Joy Division covers that I've thought were good/worth doing. And none I can remember except this one*. Those songs were so perfectly rendered to begin with, the idea seems almost pointless. But I've always been mesmerized by the brilliance of this version of "Disorder" from Bedhead's 4-song EP. The sound is gorgeous, filling a great amount of space and giving the simultaneous illusion of a large amount of activity and a very slow shadowy procession imperceptibly oozing towards its conclusion.
The Joy Division original (one of my all-time favourite songs):
*Actually, Still (John Frusciante, Flea, & Josh Klinghoffer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers) do a faithful live rendition of it:
They did a whole gig of Joy Division covers at Spaceland, October 10th, 2000, which is very good.
