Alphabeat Cover Daft Punk
Alphabeat, that danceable, '80s-loving Danish sextet, have promised us "10,000 Nights Of Thunder," which is why covering Daft Punk's "Digital Love" makes perfect sense: It takes care of at least one night ... and this dream ... and you. It showed up in our Inbox this AM and has been on repeat. As might be expected, it's less digital, more warm and cuddly than the French duo's take. That's because there are more indie-pop hands on deck here, and they don't wear space helmets.
Alphabeat - "Digital Love" (Daft Punk Cover) (MP3)
While we're turning Daft Punk into an indie-pop band, how's about transforming Alphabeat into something more electro? Here's Bimbo Jones's spankin' new remix of "10,000 Nights."
Just in time for Prom season.
This Is Alphabeat is out in May via EMI's Charisma imprint. Neither the cover nor the remix are on it, but hey.

"Hate" is such a strong word, so I'll stick to "dislike": As a Dane, I really, really, really dislike Alphabeat's music and approach to music. And I really dislike them raping Daft Punk

Awful cover. I used to like 'fascination', until it blew up here in Holland (and probably the rest of Europe). Hate. Them.
Score = -2
Gee, I kind of liked the Alphabeat version of DL - it's so retro! (I'm retro myself.) But indeed, the DP version is much more artistic and less, I don't know, selloutish.

Yet another fucking awful cover of such a great, great, great song.

I thought it was ok. There certainly are a lot of worse bands to complain about.

I think it's an honest take on DP. Alphabeat are as good as that and their upcoming album is certain to be the party starter of the summer.
What's not to like??
Score = -2
Actually, there's everything not to like. God awful.
Score = 1
Also, its virtually the same as the mobius band cover from a couple of months back. I've got money on them having heard it, and ripped a cover of a cover. Lazy. Also, Martin - 'hate' is a strong word, but in this case its merited.
