Search and Destroy : New Order

i like their orgy cover

flagged that post so hard

hahaha

For some reason I couldn't imagine Peter Hook fitting in with Primal Scream, both on a musical level and a personal level.

He's just a fatter Mani

Barney's a trooper, tell you h'whut.

Aw, I love Barney so much. I saw the Fall when MES performed with a broken leg, and it was a pretty solid show. He sat behind a desk!

As I was leaving a hotel one of the doormen said “Break a leg” apparently that’s just what I have done ouch!

Ah, he's still got it...

wow, he seemed totally ok onstage. idk if he moves around more usually or what but i would never have thought he was injured.

i was sort of amazed at how much fun i had and how in this incarnation they are sort of the best possible act for a big summer concert for a nice night.

Yeah.

We saw them this time last year (give-or-take-a-month), and it's not like he goes off poppin' or crowd surfin'..

Has everyone seen this surprisingly revealing Making of Blue Monday?

The bit about the sequencer being off-beat is mind blowing.

halfway through it as we speak

currently listening to their Bestival CD

is Sumner the undisputed king of writing songs he can't actually sing?

Oh he's up there. But that's why we love him. (In studio form.)

They just performed Transmission and Love Will Tear Us Apart at the Carnegie Hall with Iggy Pop on vocals and Philip Glass playing keyboard, apparently.

Also, they have new tracks to be released "as a series of EPs or an album”.

Oh, sorry - Ned already revived Joy Division thread.

To start off my first post, I got into Joy Division and New Order too late
and apparently missed out on these great Recycle singles remasters

Does anyone have both collections of these and a way to get them over to me

Thanks, Kyle

Welcome Kyle!

we did a huge artist poll of this last year, it was great fun if i may say so myself I feel so extraordinary somePoll's got a hold on me: NEW ORDER artist poll #37 (RESULTS thread) can't help you on the other stuff.

I'd love to get these again myself !

I've still got them all, not as the original flacs though - converted to mp3s. I could upload them somewhere maybe.

Mp3s are cool with me, nate. But no rush. Thanks!

rob gretton is turning over in his grave you thieves

He should have overseen a proper reissue campaign when he was alive.

I'm not sure they were ever available as FLACs?

they were mp3s. I have meant for awhile to UL them for a couple of ilxors who missed them for but it ends up being a pretty big archive file...

LOL it seems I missed getting only one: Regret

Was that included? Recycle focused on the Factory years specifically I thought.

Oh so that's why I added Regret to my version of the "box" from a different source. Never mind. I felt like Regret belonged there despite not fitting the strict brief.

I think they were AAC files. Mine are at least.

I seem to remember it being part of their mission statement to not do it in lossless, so that the official folks would have some incentive to release proper re-dos.

It remains one of the best fan-made things the internet has ever given me (see also 1981 box set, Prince 12" collection, and The Beatles Redux)

Also the Smiths series. And this:

1981 box set was epic. I leant mine to someone who never gave it back but I still have the files.

I love the 1981 set because it is full of acts I like but rarely the song I would pick from each act.

say what you will about the legitimacy of the hookless lineup, but I saw them again last night and I think they play better live these days than they ever have, in no small part because gillian and morris are so good together. also barney can finally carry a tune.

does he still dance like a drunk uncle at a wedding?

No, and he stopped going "whoo" in
The songs too

all problems fixed imo

"San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)."

heh, that's awesome. I love this phase of New Order live, they seem really happy!

so barney's book is out (digitally at least). i've bought it, but haven't read it yet

will it be insightful or the same shit all over again? i'm actually feeling good about the former as a real possbility

looking fwd to hooky being eviscerated, after reading his last two books he deserves it

Part 2 of an interview on 5Live with Bernard

http://vimeo.com/106495270

Person emails to say please bury the hatchet with Peter Hook and get back together. Bernard says 'ok, which part of the body would you like me to bury it in' - not the exact quote but pretty close.

now signed to MUTE too.

Real question: if they're making new music sans Hook, will they ape his bass sound/style? Or will they go without? Because if they keep Hooky bass without Hook it's pretty much admitting how important he is. Of course, New Order without Hooky sound isn't really New Order.

Barney's book looks a bit of a slim volume to me. I'm doubtful it will dig as deep into the New York and Ibiza years as I'd have liked.

did I actually hand off the recycle stuff like I promised to? I don't think I did

Stephen Morris ranks the albums. Unexpected bit:

Final question: if you had to pick one definitive New Order song for you what would it be?

One song that I’ve always liked by New Order is “All Day Long” which is off Brotherhood. I just think it’s a really lovely song and we never really played it live, and maybe we should think about playing it live when we do some more gigs. I just think it’s a lovely song. It doesn’t have any drumming on it, but I like it as a song.

One part of that interview made me happy, since I was involved with Denial being played at American Apparel stores.

http://www.playingwithsound.net/news.asp?id=467 worth getting?

jesus H that photo..

but yeah Frank Arkwright did them at Abbey supposedly; he of Smiths and Blur remasters fame etc. seems they've taken the time to do it properly this time after the mess up over the remastered albums.

(a) Frank Arkwright masters all of Autechre's releases so he knows how to capture dynamics! and (b) the band photo in that link is all-time. Gillian's expression alone worth the price of entry.

nice one, thanks. I wonder if they're sorting out the botched album reissues too?
