From the War Child "Heroes" album. Feel free to comment, I prefer the original myself. Hot Chip should stick to what they're best at.

Many thanks to all those who have commented with valid opinions and thoughts, it's been entertaining to read through them! Mucho Love x

Sorry Joy Division loyalists, but this is better than the original.  Sometimes, on rare occasions, the cover is better than the original.

So The Fall or Durutti Column could do a great cover of this song? There is no "correct" way to play a song; you either like it, or not. Obviously, you don't. I'm not from Manchester from the late 70's and I understand the meaning of Joy Divisions songs...or I find my own meaning, as no but Ian actually knows what he was feeling.

I heard this version first, and I absolutely love Joy Division and their original version, but I also absolutely love this version.

You have to have been from Manchester at the time Joy Division were to correctly play this song with meaning.

i love both joy division and hot chip, but i can see why people won't like this. i mean i do, but the joy division version has a certain feel to it that this version doesn't have. we have to consider the genres though. hot chip is more of an electronic, dance group, while joy division isn't. so obviously they are going to have completely different feels! no need to get angry about it, though. i don't think hot chip was trying to be "better" than the original. they just wanted a tribute cover.

big hot chip fan and big joy division fan... not sure if they ought to be mutually exclusive... Like this version, find it quite stimulating, but really want and need to listen to the original, very loud in a very dark room and very very sooon...

It's not if this is a good cover or not. Joy division's original is unbeatable. However their take on this song is interesting in a new age of music & should be respected. Their paying homage to joy division, get into it.
