Love the Confusion video. Can't remember who pointed out to me that it was shot by the v great Henri Alekan.
Holy Ghost made a practically shot-for-shot remake, complete with Arthur Baker cameo: http://vimeo.com/10870979

this was going to be James Murphy, but they happened to run into Arthur Baker the week before; when they told him about the video he insisted on playing himself instead

have to admit that i didn't vote in the video poll. i was burnt out by then. these last two however would have been ones i would have voted for along with the next two.

Expect the Factory 5 to be 1-5 but I'm curious about the order. Technique at 1 is a lock but the rest could be any order.
― brotherlovesdub, Thursday, 30 May 2013 05:05 (ten years ago) link
Might Republic not be higher than Brotherhood? Also interested to see where Substance fits in with the actual studio albums. Technique should be number one.

The album sounds merely okay to my ears these days, but I never had a problem with Dracula's Castle.

THEORY:
Since the results have been reverse-chronological so far, Movement is a shoe-in for #1 :)
― Millsner, Thursday, 30 May 2013 06:16 (ten years ago) link
I guess it's understandable that the albums they released 20-30 years after their first releases are ranked lowest but they're really great albums. Predictably, Republic will be next.
― brotherlovesdub, Thursday, 30 May 2013 06:18 (ten years ago) link
Movement at 3 or 4, imo. Either Low-Life or PCL at 2.

So the solution is to bring along Dave Gahan?
― totally unnecessary bewbz of exploitation (DJP), Tuesday, 25 February 2020 19:15 (four years ago) link
Jimmy Coversale.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 25 February 2020 19:17 (four years ago) link
Coverdale too.
I'm telling you, get Marr! Marr is a fine singer, and can not only bolster Sumner and the band but also play with the PSBs and sing with them, too.
Or Coverdale, he's got pipes.

Pure energy.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 25 February 2020 19:44 (four years ago) link
I dunno, David Sommerville might be a better fit.
(Marr has an acceptable voice if you want to hear Smiths songs being sung over while Johnny Marr plays guitar. He is a very boring frontman though [also Bernard Butler replaced him as PSB utility guitarist on the new album, whose own voice is more on a The Other Two level]) I got the impression from Hook's memoir that everyone in the band was lazy except Peter Hook.
He very fairly also gives the impression that everyone in the band hates going to work with him because he’s such a massive prick.
― Fantastic. Great move. Well done (sic), Tuesday, 25 February 2020 19:49 (four years ago) link
About the only kind thing he says about Gillian was how well the three worked together recording Republic before Sumner and Stephen Hague purportedly ruined it.

The Hague.

i have probably seen New Order around 10 - 12 times and all with Peter Hook. like others have said they are an ok band live, but it's not like seeing Depeche Mode or the Cure where it's an event. anyways, my friends really want me to go so i'm probably going and looking forward to seeing Pet Shop Boys for the first time.

I love the early New Order live recordings/clips, where Barney looked like he (and the rest of them) wanted to be anywhere else but there, like the 1983 TOTP performance:

― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Tuesday, 19 April 2022 16:54 (two years ago) link
I think they have always been a very uneven band live. The first time I saw them was in 1985. They were simply brilliant, one of the three best shows I've ever seen. This is almost a perfect setlist:
New Order, August 16, 1985, Rainbow Music Hall, Denver, CO
SunriseThis Time of NightHurtThieves Like Us5 8 6Everything's Gone GreenThe VillageSubcultureDenialConfusionThe Perfect Kiss
Encore:CeremonyBlue Monday
Encore 2:Temptation
Saw them again the following year, and they were shit. Completely phoning it in. I almost took it personally.
