Hearing a cover of "Warm Leatherette" never seems to get old. After all, The Normal (aka Daniel Miller, founder of Mute Records) was so ahead of his time with his future sound. We hear loud echos of his sound in so many bands today. From modern SynthPop to EDM, Electro to minimal and let's not forget the post industrial sound lurking in Germany and in some parts of the UK. Somewhere, Daniel Miller is siting back with a big grin. :D
Recently, this song has been masterfully covered by Trent Reznor & friends with Peter Murphy on vocals. Grace Jones took a stab at it back in the 80's. Here is another quite interesting version from none other than Laibach.
