Every time I hear this - or the original now - I think of Diane riding Mark Renton like a horse in time with the drums xD

For anyone complaining that this is too similar to the original, that was entirely the point. Blondie wouldn't let the filmmakers of Trainspotting licence the song. So they asked Sleeper to produce a cover that was very close to the original. I've always loved this version. Particularly the breakdown.

I like Sleeper, but this doesn't really do it for me. Too similar to original. They didn't "make it their own" IMO

Well, yeah, it's not that good when compared to the original. Still a nice enough cover, though.

Sleeper were a great band with some wonderful albums, but this is not the greatest cover. I much prefer the original.

Both versions are great - I'm off to murder the Blondie version on Singstar 80's

Haven't heard the original yet, but I gotta say, this one's a pretty good song.

Agree with all the comments but I'd like to say that I believe you can never fcuk up a truly great song, which Atomic by Blondie clearly is. So this version and the countless others are still pretty good, given the original source. But yeah, it lacks the 'grit' of the original as someone said earlier, but at least it reminds me of Kellie Macdonald in Trainspotting!

Very weak cover. It adds nothing to the song. When I heard it in Trainspotting, I couldn't tell if it was a cover or not! "Hm, Blondie's sounding kind of bland..." :p

It reminds me of the film, which is one of my favourites so... it's ok but I agree with you two.
