New Order: Atmosphere (BBC John Peel Session 24-11-1998)

i learnt this at the same time as i covered transmission by joy division. a joy division song that joy division never did for a peel session, so decided not to bother. however i was looking for a new order song from the peelfest to cover when i saw that they had covered (if you can call it a cover as they pretty much where joy division)atmosphere. so i went back to it before i forgot how it went.

Am trying to work out how you got the rhythmic sounds and plucking at the same time? Sounds dead cool though, and great vocals.
Splendid cover.

i am a shit guitarist and can't hold a plectrum. so i strum with my thumb. recently i have started slapping and strumming the strings rhythmically if that makes sense, whilst tapping the guitar with my free fingers.

Cool cover and still instantly recognisable with the tappy strummy intro ! Classic song !

You're not a shit guitarist if you can get it to do innovative and effective things like that, far from.

One of my fave JD songs, I like your doing of it.
