Help me find more electronic covers of old punk songs.

April 4, 2008 9:37 AM

I have recently found Of Montreal's cover of Where Eagles Dare, and I love it. Can you recommend me some more electronic(kish) covers of old punk songs? I am not looking for anything that is not an electronic(kish) cover of an old punk song.

Please no "Not exactly what you asked for, but..." answers. What I asked for is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks.

Atom & His Package also covers "Where Eagles Dare" although that dude is kind of a joke.

The Dirty Projectors do an amazing cover of Black Flag's "Rise Above".

Somewhere around there is a live set of Miss Kittin w/ The Hacker and Vitalic doing a cover of the Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog" (if that counts)

Woops, misread your question, well Atom & His Package is electronic-ish.

On that one Misfits tribute album, Prong does a pretty good "London Dungeon."

Depending on your definitions of electronic and punk, you might like the compilations of industrial cover versions that Re-Constriction and Cleopatra have released.

Fischerspooner does Wire's The 15th.

Moby does a cover of Mission of Burma's "That's When I Reach for My Revolver" on Animal Rights. Whether you consider his version to be elektronika-ish-enough I will leave up to you. It's a hell of a lot harder than the original version and perfect music to listen to while throwing dominoes at a ceiling fan. But that may just be me.

There's a whole album of Less Than Jake songs remixed as "techno." Oddly, though, they're all of B-Sides.

Crap. You know what I meant, right?

Also, there is a decent comp of Wire covers (all of Outdoor Miner) that you might like, from Words On Music records. My favorite is the version by Should.
