It's a bit of effort, but Pumped Full Of Drugs can be obtained via the Amazon Japan site.

It is NTSC, but it is also Region 2. Keep that in mind, you'll need a way to play a Region 2 disc.

two weeks pass...

"State of the Nation" seems to be underrated. I'm wondering what about it is different that people would single it out for dislike?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 25 March 2005 20:46 (nineteen years ago) link

It got singled out on the "Rock Band's Worst Attempt at Disco" thread. I'm not sure what that means since most of New Order's mid-80's output are varying attempts at disco!

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Friday, 25 March 2005 20:51 (nineteen years ago) link

"State Of The Nation" is fantastic; I've never understood why people are so vocally against it.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 25 March 2005 20:53 (nineteen years ago) link

i don't like it stuck on the end of brotherhood like my CD is, but it's okay, certainly better than Shellshock

― kyle (akmonday), Friday, 25 March 2005 20:55 (nineteen years ago) link

I put SOTN on that rock-disco thread; it's not bad, just perfunctory. The electro bassline, as good as it is, seems mixed too high. The track grates. Plus, ever tried to dance to it?? Bloody hard.

Plus, ever tried to dance to it?? Bloody hard.

Erm. I suspect the problem might not be with the song, dude.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 25 March 2005 21:27 (nineteen years ago) link

I know what he means though, because it's slower than most house/disco and the hi-hat is seemingly in double-time. Still, you gotta learn how to adapt your dancing style to any tempo. That's part of Dancing 101.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Friday, 25 March 2005 21:32 (nineteen years ago) link

I love dancing to "State of the Nation"! I love the "oooh" yelps!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 25 March 2005 21:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Also, the Chic guitar is unbelievably great on it.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 25 March 2005 21:59 (nineteen years ago) link

For me my initial dislike of SOTN had to do with the quality of the other tracks on Substance. But then I starting hearing SOTN on random and it was way more enjoyable. The problem was that I really love every other track on that album, and SOTN is near the end of a pretty long album, not to mention it's right before my favorite song.

― Vinnie (vprabhu), Friday, 25 March 2005 22:07 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh God yes, love that Chic guitar on it.

― Vinnie (vprabhu), Friday, 25 March 2005 22:07 (nineteen years ago) link

That guitar part is outstanding.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 25 March 2005 22:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah, terrific Chic guitar, great bassline, dodgier-than-usual lyrics - all the elements seem to be in place. For me the parts don't make a whole in this case. Vinnie's mild objections match mine. I don't hate it; it's just underwhelming next to their other singles.

I actually prefer "Touched by the Hand of God": even better bass, breathy chorus.

― Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Saturday, 26 March 2005 00:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Touched By The Hand of God eats it for breakfast, yes. SOTN comes across as rather clumsy, I think.

― Bimble... (Bimble...), Saturday, 26 March 2005 00:34 (nineteen years ago) link

And the video for TBTHOG...christ on a crutch is it wonderful.

― Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Saturday, 26 March 2005 00:44 (nineteen years ago) link

No mother fucking kidding. Saw it for the first time only a few weeks ago. Hilarious.

― Bimble... (Bimble...), Saturday, 26 March 2005 02:47 (nineteen years ago) link

In other words everyone MUST have the Substance VHS today, only cost me a few bucks, even if you've seen all the other videos on it already, etc etc.

― Bimble... (Bimble...), Saturday, 26 March 2005 02:51 (nineteen years ago) link

I watch it *regularly*. The "State of the Nation" video is kind of throwaway, but I think the track is anything but!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Saturday, 26 March 2005 03:23 (nineteen years ago) link

five months pass...

from Rob Da Bank's Radio 1 show, the Richard X remix of New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle"

It's called YSI

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:07 (eighteen years ago) link

*listens* Okay, when the murky/grimy stuff kicks in around 40 seconds, that's when this sucker really takes off...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:09 (eighteen years ago) link

It's perhaps a little too faithful. I was hoping for a popped up complete rework with the same energy as "10 Dollar" or "Some Girls".

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:12 (eighteen years ago) link

However, I'll save a full review until I have a better quality version.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:12 (eighteen years ago) link

It's true, actually, that it becomes a straightforward enough take with new bells and whistles. But at the same time, it then reconfirms the wonder of the song itself. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:14 (eighteen years ago) link

"Taking us back to...I'll put my money on 1989."

And you lose, Rob da Bank. Get one Google.

Hey, he wins because he world premiered it!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Apparently there *is* a promo CD (so it won't just appear on vinyl).

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Hey, he wins because he world premiered it!

Yes, but I still want his money. I am greedy.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 September 2005 23:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Dude, he works for the BBC.

"Round and Round" is about twice as classic as I previously thought.

can someone please tell me what's the difference
between the verions of CEREMONY as mentioned
er, three years ago?

― piscesboy, Thursday, 29 September 2005 13:04 (eighteen years ago) link

the 7" and original 12" recording by New Order is slower and a bit more raw sounding than the rerecorded version.

― biz, Thursday, 29 September 2005 13:17 (eighteen years ago) link

..and Gill isn't on the original. It was rerecorded with Gill and became the 12" version (although a few were pressed later with the original instead). Most of the 12" out there are the second version. There is no correlation between the various 12" coloured sleeves and which version it is. I think I'm right that all the gold 7" are the original version. The only way to tell for sure are the timings - the first version is around 4.34 and the second is around 4.24.

The first version has never been available on CD, even though it is much the better of the two, but it will be included on Singles, due out in a couple of weeks.

"GINCHY"??

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:16 (eighteen years ago) link

i disagree that the first version of ceremony was the better of the two. I wanted to think that because I'd never heard it, but when I finally did, I was disappointed. it sounds like a demo at best; I even like the Still version more.

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 29 September 2005 16:17 (eighteen years ago) link

I have to agree. I also like the Still version much more.
