They sure seem taller than I expected.

Also, upvote for the original version of a song I originally learned of from Nouvelle Vague (one of my favorites, check their first album out).

You're welcome! I liked the Palmer cover but did not find it particularly awe-inspiring (perhaps I've seen too many Radiohead covers like that). Thanks for the Gallifrey link, not only did I discover a beautiful piece of cinema music, but now am tempted to watch Doctor Who... (wait, should I really be thanking you for that? )

Thanks for the quality

I might have one or two others for your playlist, although I'm a little concerned that you might think they belong in "covers that hurt your ears", or covers that scream "what were they thinking!!!"?

This is truly beautiful. Double props for reinterpreting one of the most covered/remixed songs in recent music history and being so awesome at it.

Obviously only if you get to a computer before they sift, and if you like them!

A non-depressing Nouvelle Vague song? *promote!

It's Nouvelle Vague and it's awesome.

Jean-Luc Godard (born 3 December 1930 in Paris) is a French filmmaker and one of the most influential members of the Nouvelle Vague, or "French New Wave".

Born in Paris to Franco-Swiss parents, he was educated in Nyon, later studying at the Lycée Rohmer, and the Sorbonne in Paris. During his time at the Sorbonne, he became involved with the young group of filmmakers and theorists that gave birth to the New Wave.

Known for stylistic implementations that challenged, at their focus, the conventions of Hollywood cinema, he became universally recognized as the most audacious and most radical of the New Wave filmmakers. He adopted a position in filmmaking that was unambiguously political. His work reflected a fervent knowledge of film history, a comprehensive understanding of existential and Marxist philosophy, and a scholarly disposition that placed him as the lone filmmaker among the public intellectuals of the Rive Gauche.

More on Nouvelle Vague... By the way this is a cover of a Joy Division song...

Nouvelle Vague did an amazing cover of this song.

This is the famous dancing sequence from Jean-Luc Godard's Bande à part, released in 1964 and known as 'Band Of Outsiders' to the west. The film is serves as a prime example of French new wave cinema, this particular sequence impressed Quentin Tarantino so much that he payed homage via similar scene in Pulp Fiction, and named his production company 'A Band Apart', Jean-Luc Godard himself said that he would have preferred if Quentin Tarantino simply paid him. I love Anna Karina and the scene's composition, cinematography, direction and the actors simply yet oddly hypnotic movements. The seemingly incidental expositionary dialogue and overall sound composition adds to the scene tremendously.
