Catchy music-box take on OMD's early masterpiece in anticipation of Green Man 2011.
I'm posting a few rarities from people playing the Green Man Festival this weekend - to get me in the mood.
This OMD cover is from Hannah Peel's excellent 'Rebox' EP of New Wave covers that Static Caravan released as a seven-inch last year. The music box treatment works really well for the selection of songs that used relatively primitive synths as their foundation. 'Blue Monday' and 'Tainted Love' work nicely.
The cover of Cocteau Twins' 'Sugar Hiccup' is great too though that, of course, isn't a synthpop track.
The EP is available as a download bundle at Boomkat.
