I have to agree that it's not my favorite cover of the track I've ever heard. To me it almost felt like the song was squeezed into a disco mold in *a priori*fashion, with the actual song itself coming second. It seemed like any number of songs could have been inserted into the same mold by Scissor Sisters, kind of like "'Do The Strand' sung to the tune of 'Heart of Glass.'" Swedish group The Drowners is handling "Do The Strand" on our "Take Refuge In Pleasure: The Songs of Roxy Music Revisited" album. Hopefully, people will like their take on the track, which is decidedly more conventional. Speaking of our upcoming album of Roxy covers, I did post a new track last night for those who might be interested. If you go to www.myspace.com/songsofroxymusicrevisited, you can check out US combo Electric Newton Overdrive's (E.N.O., get it?) take on "Angel Eyes." It doesn't sound at all like Eno, but I think it's a nice take on the original.

Well I'm not one for listening to Roxy covers normally, but this looked interesting. I agree that it's bad. I was expecting a lot better from the Scissor Sisters. Not sure why, but I was. There's no umph to it, no feeling. It's just kinda monotone - I expected it too be a bit high pitched, but it's worse than I thought. Their voices just don't work for that song!
