4.0 out of 5 stars Surprising and pleasing..., February 2, 2007

I downloaded this album with reluctance. Covers are a let down more often than not. At first, I was little turned off that "Love Will Tear Us Apart" was done slowly- it seemed to defeat the purpose of the song, in my opinion.

BUT, after listening to the rest of the album, I can't imagine any of it done differently. "It's a Long Way to the Top" is simply amazing. It didn't take long before all of the songs won me over, including "Love Will Tear Us Apart." It's very pretty and I gave up trying to argue against it.

I have been listening to this album almost daily for the last couple of weeks, so it's definitely worth a listen! I think... :)

The only reason that I gave it four stars instead of five, is because at times it can feel a little redundant. I'm just trying to be fair. But you should find a way to hear it immediately!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunningly Beautiful, February 17, 2007

Heard the cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart on a Mojo Magazine sampler and went for the full album, So beautiful. They are very slow, minimal, play this after any Red House Painter's album. Great late at night. LOVE IT! It is always great to hear cover versions that don't attempt to replicate the original versions. Why bother. This is great!

This is an album of cover versions by Susanna and the Magical Orchestra. The cover of the famous Joy Division " Love will tear us Apart", one of my all time favorite songs, is the most haunting and exquisite cover version I have ever heard. I bought the album for this song and I enjoy many of the other covers songs too.. interesting band.
