at last!

Indeed! And thanks again for reading over the draft there.

I know I talk PC&L down in comparison to Movement, Technique and the 00s albums, but it really is a great album.

For me it's just so blisteringly self-evident that PCL is their magnum opus. And I'll always love 'Your Silent Face' above all. The first minute or so of that track is sublimity itself to me.

This was a great poll thread. I wasn't in the right frame of mind to make a ballot when it was voting time but I had a heavy deadline last weekend and spent all weekend listening to NO thanks to this thread. (The Recycle blog versions, naturally-- damn they sound so much better than the officials).

Used the Spotify thread to hear the 00s stuff I've never heard before. Not feeling it so far. There's no fatness to the sound and Barney's voice sounds anonymous. Will try harder.

If there's no fatness to the sound, you might want to double-check your speakers/headphone because you are likely missing the sub bass on the dancier songs. (Also I think Barney sounds "in tune" rather than "anonymous" but YMMV)

Full disclosure, his sound on 'Waiting For the Siren's Call' reminded me of the kid from Owl City and I freaked our and bolted

our = out

Had a lot of fun listening to the Spotify playlist yesterday. Great choices except my TOO LOW goes to Subculture. I would have thrown Waiting for the Sirens' Call a bone as well.

I'm listening to Brotherhood at the moment and can't help cracking into a smile at the way Bernard sings the word "key" on 'Weirdo'... also, I'm sure that this is the album that Bernard does the most Michael Jackson-style "whooping" on... it's a real whoopfest.

kiiiiey

fantastic review Ned, thanks for sharing.

i forgot i did this, check out these results:

New Order - Movement CD2 Poll (era A-sides, B-sides and Remixes)

has anyone really warmed up to Lost Sirens it is an album i don't know and wonder if it actually worth my time?

you i glanced at this list and see "I'll Stay With YOu" got two votes so i you tubed it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0aiQxozKGc

what happened there? anyways yeah that song is good. now listening to "California Grass."

that song is good too, will have to listen to this album. i burnt out of New Order with this poll but was really in the mood to hear them tonight when i got home from work.

so tonight i have listened to some New Order and have been looking over the list. number 51 was "Turn the Heater On" actually, embarrassingly, hearing this for the first time.

52 was "Senses" and this video is kind of blowing my mind right now:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOPsu_CIoh0

just saw them play live and it was so fantastic! they played 7 of my top 10 poll tracks.

that is amazing.

i would have been happy with just three.

five joy division songs too, which apparently is pretty standard these days... I avoided looking at their recent setlists in order to enjoy the surprise. nothing from technique! and it wasn't in my top ten, but I was pleased they decided to play "world (the price of love)" and "here to stay." go see them if you get the chance! we danced from start to finish, so fun.

Ugh! Was given a ticket to the Austin show tonight and couldn't make it. Sadness.....

fu both, I am one city away rn and would have gone just for HG

That's the 2nd great ILM poll I've read this week.

I don't get the appeal of wanting to hear BLT in a "real" acoustic version.

Not even the aging Bernard's own acoustic rendition?

I just listened to lonesome tonight for the first time. it was awesome.

It is indeed, and yet I've always wished it were more like the London Polytechnic bootleg recording from 1985. By this I don't mean the official release should have Bernard's reference to the fact of ot being a benefit concert for the striking miners: "if you don't all move back a bit, next week we'll be doing a suffocation benefit", or to his spontaneously changing the lyrics: "When you reached out in your sleep; And you knew I wasn't there" to "When you reached out in your sleep; And felt my big fat
cock"

No, the reason this could & should have been so much greater, and fully deserving of A-side status, comes toward the exhilarating pure beauty of the extended coda (beginning at 3mins:28secs); a perfect blend of syths and guitars, that overwhelms with delight, and worthy of being placed, for this glorious culmination alone, the same exalted company as Some Distant Memory, or Every Little Counts.

While perusing this endlessly fascinating poll again, I am in despair that I did not download the beautiful Recycle Project while I had the chance. It is nowhere to be found on the internet.

Yeah, they had to sack it for very obvious reasons..

for reference as i had a hard time finding this thread: Oh, you've got green eyes Oh, you've got blue eyes Oh, you've got Poll eyes: NEW ORDER Artist poll #37 (voting ends May 26 Midnight Pacific)

i have been doing some research to get the Steely Dan voting thread up and running. had to look back at this one and noticed that results have fallen off.

i was in the mood to listen to New Order this Thanksgiving Eve, so instead of playing one of their CD's i'm going to play ILM's Top list.

happy Two year anniversary poll (when i was a virgin), will need to listen to some New Order today:

http://blog.cashcrate.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/2-year-Anniversary.jpg

I played Republic last night. Really want to know what happened to Peter Hook on that album. There are a few tracks where his bass shows up but it's definitely missing in action. Incidentally, I really like Republic so I'm not too bothered by Hooky not appearing on the next album.

The tracks on which you can hear Hook: Regret, Spooky, Everyone Everywhere, Young Offender.

Republic is the only album of theirs not to appear on Spotify.

Here it's those expanded reissues and Substance that are now missing from Spotify. So no "Cries and Whispers" or "Lonesome Tonight" etc, but Republic's here. Surely a cue to check whether the deep cuts can finally make more of an impression...

Hook is more evident than I recalled in the very "deeps cuts" I had in mind. "Chemical", "Special", etc. Rarely at the front of the mix though, of course.

"Special," yes, can't believe I missed it -- he's all over the intro. I just remembered a solo in "Times Change" too.

think it was just down to tensions between Hook and Sumner being at their worst - I think I read an interview where Hook said Sumner had decided to use his bass line's melody for the lead vocal melody on World and they fought over that which eventually lead to the bass track being removed or something
