Anyone listen to Apoptygma Berzerk covering that excellent House Of Love track Shine On? If so, what are your thoughts?
I Myself really enjoyed it. I`m going to have pick up the single ASAP.

Apoptygma Berzerk are awesome. I'm not as keen on their new stuff as I am their old but do like their cover of Kim Wilde's "Cambodia".

Some of their song titles are pretty confusing, "Photoshop Sucks" for example. Still a quality track.

I agree, I also enjoy their earlier stuff but this House Of Love Track is a must buy for me. Best Regards Freeman [;)]

Whoops, got carried away by finding someone else who likes Apoptygma Berzerk and didn't respond to the original question!

Shine On didn't impress me at first I must say but I think its one of those tracks that grows on you with successive listens.

If you want to get hold of it easily, allofmp3.com has the whole new album for less than $2, that's how I got hold of it.

I think "Spiritual Reality" is APB's best track, followed by "Love never dies", but concerning "Shine on" I definitely prefer the original version..
