I feel so extraordinary somePoll's got a hold on me: NEW ORDER artist poll #37 (RESULTS thread)

34. In A Lonely Place
From: Ceremony (B-Side)
Released: 6 March 1981
413 Points, 21 Votes

OK, the image scared me for a minute

didn't make it for me, felt odd to have to leave it off though

xpost

I have a feeling that ceremony will be fine ;)

I remember dropping like $20 for that 7" just so I could hear the first version of Ceremony. After I bought multiple copies of the green 12" that kept being the second pressing!

My #6 -- the guitar sound on this is extraordinary.

"Hurt" = "Cries and Whispers" no?

These pictures are so great! Really enjoying this rundown.

I have realised there are a few tracks I really should have voted for that I inexplicably overlooked. eg Hurt. :(

Never mind. I've just realized that "Mesh" is a track I've never in my life heard.

these tracks poll results are making for a great new order crash course/primer

yeah, I'm a casual fan and hearing this countdown is blowing my mind

"Cries & Whispers" is deffo too low. Top 10 for me.

I was one of the #1 votes for Movement so that should have been higher than 4th, but I don't bow at the altar of Technique like most of you.

I voted for most of what has placed so far. Looking forward to more!

xp. Alfred, I know people always get C&W mixed up with "Mesh" thanks to someone screwing up the titles on the Substance b-sides disc/tape, but I have never heard of anyone mixing up C&W and "Hurt" before. :-/

I blame them: titles and so on.

now I realize I've never owned "Mesh" in any form.

at this point i wonder whether my #2 didn't make the top 40 at all or it's a lot more popular than i thought

33. Crystal
From: Get Ready
Released: 13 August 2001 (single) and 27 August 2001 (album)
414 Points, 24 Votes

Should be higher: top twenty. What a fantastic shock to hear this in summer '01.

Surprised this is so low. Doesn't bode well for the rest of Get Ready, either.

"Crystal" got just 1 more point then "In A Lonely Place." 24 people voted for it compared to 21 for "In A Lonely Place." it deserved to come out on top.

I love In a Lonely Place, but Crystal is where I am at these days.

Whoa. Shocked at this so low. Definitely means no Primitive Notion now. Easily one of the best songs they've done since the glory years of the mid80s.

maybe some Get Ready strategists sacrificed Crystal to boost... every other song from that album.

I fully expect Rock the Shack in at #5

Alfred otm about Crystal -- it sounded SO GOOD at the time ( with an exception for honey/money but hey who cares with a beat like that)
Yaaaay crystal.

One of my top ten has placed already. Kinda bummed about that, but I understand why (it was 'Here to Stay').

But, I have to say, as someone who was disgusted by Republic upon revisiting it for this poll, I'm pretty upset at this juncture.

And yeah, what the fucking hell RE: 'Mesh'????????????!?!?!?!!!!!

It's identified as 'Mesh' on my copy of Substance, but upon further investigation, that song that's labeled 'Mesh' is clearly 'Cries and Whispers.'

I'm fucking befuddled.

Seems about right for "Crystal" tbh. Sooooo freakin' many definitive 80s tracks innit.

The track listing on Substance is wrong. What is Cries and Whispers they label as Mesh. Mesh is not on Substance at all.

it's one of the most notorious mislabellings in the history of rock

Disgusted?!?

i'd agree with that

guys, that was my #1 album pick, come on

Republic sucks.

Bad.

i didn't like it back in the day, and liked it even less on relistening to it

it's one of the most notorious mislabellings in the history of rock

Maybe it was mislabled on the original single? And the labeling on Substance was the correction?

It appears on the Factory Benelux 'Everything's Gone Green' single, and on the 1981–1982 EP. Both are labelled correctly.

it was mislabelled on 81-82 ep iirc?

or not

Has the band ever clarified?

apparently the FBN 12" is incorrect according to http://www.discogs.com/New-Order-Everythings-Gone-Green/release/1197986

ah, that's it then.

I have the 1981–1982 EP and it's definitely fine.

the total lack of connection between titles and lyrics certainly hasn't helped

So wait. . .

What we've known as 'Mesh' on Substance is actually its real title? And that was the correction?

what? no

the Mesh/ Cries And Whispers mis-titling and other confusions are cleared up by the Recycle blog

it is also cleared up on those 2CD sets that came out by Rhino a few years back.

32. Mr Disco
From: Technique
Released: 30 January 1989
417 Points, 20 Votes

my god this song -- it's indie rock reconfigured as a late eighties version of disco.

Don't mind seeing "Crystal" this low. Never cared for it that much - thought it was seen by most as sub-Electronic?

'Mr. Disco' — fuck yeah.

My #11 though, so obviously I think it should be higher.
