Search and Destroy : New Order

Scroll up the page, the discussion here is continued from all 20 New Order singles released on Factory and posted in my blog.

I am also really excited about that version of "Twenty Four Hours".

Licht Und Blindheit is up.

Downloading it now. From the write up I'm really looking forward to hearing the difference Mr AL has made by pitch correcting the tracks.

I should also say how much I am enjoying your remastering of the artwork on Flickr.

How does one go about replacing the Deluxe edition re-issues? Rhino are issuing them? Sorry if this is obvious and i'm missing something.

@piscesx - you're probably past the point of doing anything about it. Rhino was accepting returns last year...you had to send photographic proof of the original discs and they'd send replacements (minus the packaging) in the mail.

Search Rhino's website. There were also a couple of threads about it at neworderonline.com, including the e-mail address.

thanks 50!

OMG at this pitch corrected Ice Age. :OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Can someone mash up the "Rite Of Spring" animation from Fantasia with the pitch corrected version of "Dead Souls"

No, definitely not an audiophile thread. Listening to these is like night n day. Thanks so so much 50 pound note.

jesus way to fuck with my head. Way to take something that I always thought was so perfect for my entire adult life (and many years before that) and go "nope, it's actually like this". Better? Worse? I'll have to spend a few years with this!

LWTUA has been posted.

Ha, I always thought "These days" seemed too fast.

Looking forward to the flexi.

I believe I've said thank you before. And now once again!

I swear to god, Ned - you must constantly be refreshing the page. ;)

Hahah, more like I get up early to go to work and notice these things when they get posted!

is track 3 the version that appears on the 12" on the same side of These Days? My LWTUA 12" has LWTUA on one side and These Days and another version of LWTUA on the flip.

Yes.

Ever heard the Chipmunks version of "These Days/Love will tear us apart" in a pub?

(Our local had the 7" on the jukebox. The b-side is supposed to play at 33)

I'd like to add that The Sound of Music has ALWAYS been one of my favorite Joy Division songs.

Komakino is up.

groovey!

(in before Ned)

So, is that the end, or will it continue with the Atmo 12", etc?

There's still the US She's Lost Control 12" from '81, then Atmosphere '88 with a radically altered tracklisting since almost everything was redundant.

Yeah, that's the one.

glad to see the note about "As You Said" being an "f-off" to all those who think JD wouldn't have gone synthi if Ian hadn't died. I think Isolation shows that as well. I think it may have sounded differently, maybe they wouldn't have gone quite so freestyle in the mid 80s!

and stop telling me my Joy Division songs are faster than they're supposed to be! I don't even want to hear These Days any differently!

(in before Ned)

Hey!

This fac383v blog is great. I can't believe i've never seen that TECHNIQUE advert! Hats off, 50 Pound Note.

has it been explained how nobody in the band nixed test pressings that sounded wrong?

I'm not quite sure what you mean about test pressings that sound wrong. Are you talking about the speed issues? Hannett very likely intended for the songs to be heard that way, but that's not exactly how the band would have sounded live, so the fellow doing the mastering is taking the opportunity to present options.

Meantime, Bernard Sumner on this and that.

What do you think of pop music at the moment?

BS: Oh God, I don’t know really. The strange thing is I don’t listen to that much music, because I’m playing it for 12 hours a day or talking about it for 12 hours a day, so it’s the last thing I want to do. Although, you know, I’ve obviously heard of Lady Gaga.

Are you a fan?

BS: Erm...(laughs) It’s catchy, let’s put it that way.

She's Lost Control is up.

Nice!

Thanks!

cooool

Sweet.

Thanks SO MUCH for cleaning up "Twenty Four Hours". I used to rewind my 'Still' cassette and listen to it over and over. To finally have a good digital copy is very exciting!!

I just found a big cache of New Order stuff at the community station I volunteer at.
A few 12"s and Passion Corruption Lies and uh another lp. All early stuff.
Digging it.

Okay.... So in the normal album version of "586" .. I downloaded this song 3 times, and every time there's these skips in the song...

"I see Danger- Danger- Danger!"
"I heard you- heard you- heard you- heard you calling"

Was this really intentional? Seriously? It sounds like a mistake... Before today I had only heard the Peel Sessions version which is one of my very favorite New Order songs.

Yup, intentional. I think it sounds great!

I bet after a few listens I'll get used to it.. It's still amazing.

hahaha blessim.

If anyone is interested, I just posted some photos sent in by readers who've been collecting and assembling the singles.

Search: the 7" with 'In a Lonely Place' & 'Ceremony,' Movement, power Corruption & Lies, mostly.
Destroy: Blue Monday [put it back together & destroy it again, then burn it]. It marks the spot [more or less] when new wave shifted into commercial disco overdrive.

that box set is incredible

xpost

Search: Blue Monday 88 Dub; True Dub; Thieves Like Us Instrumental
Been attempting to compile 90 min cassette of NO faves (for the car) from 50 LB Note's bloggies ... not easy!

Woe, no Atmosphere...

Still, A few nice mixes
