Warmed Over Leatherette
Submitted by zombiebot on March 15, 2009 - 2:03am.For my first act as president, I declare a moratorium on bands/artists covering The Normal's Warm Leatherette. If you feel the need to perform your interpretation of an early electronic minimal wave song, there are plenty to choose from. There is no further need for putting your spin on Daniel Miller's classic ode to J.G. Ballard's Crash. Seriously folks. It has been done.
Please remember to always buckle your seat belt when travelling in a motor vehicle. Unlike the song's exhortations, you do not want to join The Car Crash Set.
Thank you.
BONUS TRACKS
Thanks to my buddy Chris, an authority when it comes to all things Cover Version, I can now safely say that RobotSound is the web's definitive spot for your Leatherette needs. Now please enjoy all 35 (!) flavors...(warning: you may not want to enjoy them all at once). New ones are on top.
Analogue Brain
This is actually a remix of the original, but nowadays, the line between "remix" and "cover" is increasingly blurry.
Mr. Spagandy
This wasn't available anywhere except for his MySpace account, but thanks to Chris and Mr. Spagandy, it's now available here for you.
Chicks on Speed
Here's an alternate Chicks on Speed version. If my memory serves me correctly, they used a Panasonic track for the backing beats/noises. This is the Ramon Bauer and Gerhard Potuznik edit.
Grace Jones 1
LP version by the lovely and talented Ms. Jones.
Grace Jones 2
12" version for an added minute of enjoyment.
KOYT!
Another Dirk Ivens-related one here from KOYT!, fronted by Merlin Burghgraeve (ex-Klinik, Noise Unit and Vomito Negro). This one gave me a distinctly Bauhaus-esque vibe with its goth-rockin' overtones. Read and listen to more about Mr. Burghgraeve here.
Rubin Steiner
Psychedelic krautrock from a Lo-Fi Nu Jazz Frenchbloke, Frédérick Landier. Check his site (en français) for more.
4E
Probably the track that bares the least resemblance to the original. I hesitated posting this earlier since it's stretching it to call this a cover, but for the completist's sake...
SiNDADDY
Angry Industrial Rock/Metal.
Destruction Unit
Angry Experimental Postpunk. More self destruction yonder.
Angel Dust 216
The sound of robots getting dusted.
BEiNG vs. LuCIDol
Lee BEiNG and friends breathe some new life into the old classic. I dig the abrasive swing beat that eventually morphs into glitch-break-core-ism.
1/22/09
Absolute Body Control - Live @ The Christmas Ball 2008
Dirk Ivens rocks it live.
Signal Electrique
The vocoder works. Two soundboards up! A worthy contender.
Prayer Tower
A commendable effort. Bonus points for some nice crash test footage.
Hell
Even the head Gigolo had a stab at this one.
Chicks On Speed
Definitely one of the Chicks' better efforts.
Giddle & Boyd
Boyd can do no wrong. His monotone vocalizations soothe me. And GoGo Giddle is the kitten with a whip.
Velocity Star
Rose McDowall provides the sexy vocals here over a track that stays pretty faithful to the original.
Grace Jones
Live from her "One-Man Show" circa 1982-1983. Grace is probably the only person who can work a Latin/Tropical/Slow Disco rhythm into this track and get away with it.
The Absolute Revolting Neon Maniacs
Belgian supergroup consisting of ABC (Dirk Ivens), Luc Van Acker (RevCo), Dirk de Davo (Neon Judgement) and friends.
Blok 57
Yet another cover by a Dirk Ivens band. I think he really likes this song.
Zombie Zombie (Jealous Lovers Klub Cinemix)
Zombies can be car crash fetishists too!
Magnetic Stripper (Cell Faulted Mix)
Obviously performed by a robot, this compact interpretation gets a nod from the robots here.
Takkyu Ishino
Even Nipponese robots love Daniel Miller.
Duran Duran
Simon Le Bon and co. channeling Kraftwerk while wearing vinyl jackets? Now is the time on Shprockets ven ve pretend ve are German.
Die Tödliche Doris
They've definitely got the minimal part of it down. I'll give them that much.
Dugga
I can't tell you anything about Dugga. All I can tell you is that this one has that Belgian Hoover sound.
J.G. Thirwell
Best known for his Foetus output, here's Mr. Thirwell's evil spy-thriller take on the tune.
Sleep Chamber
Maybe the creepiest of the bunch.
Vitalic
Live track with Vitalic's trademark touches. Not nearly as thrilling as you'd expect it to be.
Pankow
East German industrial noisemakers. Oontz, oontz, oontz...
Peter Murphy & Trent Reznor
Meh.
Club 69
This version is called Love Leatherette. You simply cannot make a gayer version than this.
Unclaimed Remains
Submitted by zombiebot on November 14, 2008 - 2:02am.Before I put this decrepit monster out of its misery, I've scavenged through its innards and collected some of the spooky tracks I spun at Zombi along with a few I dared not play. No tears from the creature of the night...
