I was told that Nine Inch Nails did a cover of Dead Souls - has anyone heard
this and if so, is it any good?

Hi,

There's a whole tribute album of Joy Division covers called: A Means to
an End: The Music of Joy Division. It's an excellent album. Check out
the review and track listing below.

The Swans also did a great cover of "Love Will Tear Us Apart". It's
really dark...well within the spirit of the original.

There's plenty of other JD covers too if you look around.

Review by Charles Spano
The key to a successful tribute album is not only to have a brilliant
band to pay tribute to, but a selection of unique bands playing the
covers. A Means to an End is a beautiful selection of the songs of Joy
Division, arguably one of the most important bands of the 20th century,
played by some of the musicians they inspired. From the
characteristically angular Girls Against Boys hardcore version of
"She's Lost Control" to the mind-blowing slowcore covers by Low
("Transmission" taken to a light-permeable crawl) and Codeine
("Atmosphere," a fitting choice), it is clear that these are people
whose very being was altered by Joy Division. Other highlights include
a heavy guitar-laden "New Dawn Fades" with Moby sounding a lot like Ian
Curtis; underrated space rockers Further (who went on to form the Tyde
and Beachwood Sparks and to get some deserved attention) doing
"Insight"; a noisy, neurotic, ripping "They Walked In Line" by
GodheadSilo, and a shockingly upbeat version of "Interzone" by hardcore
punk rockers Face to Face. The album ends with the art rock of Tortoise
drawing Joy Division to their logical extreme by pulling "As You Said"
into a broad, atmospheric, repetitive, spacious groove.
