I suspect IC would have been a fun-hating negative influence on NO's continued development. Part of what makes NO great is their total willingness to make utter fools of themselves - World In Motion, playing on the Babewatch set - because their willingness to make fools of themselves results in genius just as often as it does in foolishness.

Bull props to Barney for not becoming a new "ian" even though there were many impersonators, and not writing overached poetry in response to Ian's great writing.
I know that's damning with faint praise to say the least, but they would have come unstuck trying to continue 'with the good work'...

bull props? Ahem, full props, obv.
Is that a rugby union term or sumptin'?

I'm still boggling at the idea of Ian Curtis grumping his way through "World In Motion".

Maybe he could have done the rap bit.

Would Ian Curtis ever perform in boxer shorts, tall white socks and loafers?
i doubt it.
NEW ORDER!

I love Barney's scratched on the back of a napkin between cups of tea lyrics.
― leavethecapital, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 22:16 (seventeen years ago)
Which is funny because 'scratched on the back of a napkin between cups of tea' is a lyric from an unreleased song during the Brotherhood sessions.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 22:17 (seventeen years ago)
(The song was of course called "A Corner.")
