Great cover of Joy Division's Transmission. That EP is all covers and includes a cover of Supreme Dicks' 'Jack Smith'.
Joy Division was perhaps the first punk band to use synthesizers- in fact, their first recording was initially scrapped because the studio engineer added synthesizers to several tracks. The recordings were later released as Warsaw.
