Great compilation / tribute to Joy Division on Italian label Vox Pop.

Tracklist:

• The Difference – Colony
• The Carnival of Fools – Love Will Tear Us Apart
• Allison Run – Ceremony
• Orange Party – Heart and Soul
• Silver Surfers – She’s Lost Control
• Speed Blue – Interzone
• Comic Spoilers – Decades
• Afterhours – Shadowplay
• Subterranean Dining Rooms – Atrocity Exhibition
• Sundowners – Dead Souls
• Hitchcock’s Scream – Atmosphere
• Definitive Gaze – Warsaw

The second edition was not a gatefold (which makes sense since the inside of the gatefold is just blank white anyway). I especially enjoy the versions of “Colony,” “Love Will Tear Us Apart” (piano and vocals), “Shadowplay” (acoustic guitar driven), and Warsaw (which sounds a bit like Echo and the Bunnymen). The punk version of “She’s Lost Control” somehow actually made it a less interesting song (though it is still fun). Lots of bands here that I did not know.
