People are People

I'm a big fan of the cover song. At least once a month, I'm going to try to highlight a seminal song and upload a mix of various versions of said song. This is a fishing expedition for me, too, as usually I'm only familiar with a few different versions of the song. Last time it was Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart", and now I'm presenting a "People are People" by Depeche Mode. The songs vary from synthpop to vocal trance to lounge and hard rock. Oh, and Atrocity. My favorite is the 70's funk inspired version by Sofian. It's just amazing.

Electroclash Collection

An electronic genre that some would say favors style over substance, but has a lot of substance for all of that style. With the exception of Fischerspooner and perhaps Ladytron, very few of the mainstays of the genre are all that popular in the mass media awareness - which is a shame. Its a genre that offers a lot of creativity and a great energy. It fuses punk, new wave and electronic elements to form a sublime and twisted pleasure.

1. !!! - Heart of Hearts
2. Chicks on Speed - Eurotrash Girl
3. Junkie XL feat. Electrocute - Mad Pursuit
4. Ladytron - Seventeen
5. Le Tigre - What's Your Take on Cassavettes?
6. Miss Kittin - Playmate of the Century
