Search and Destroy : New Order

Don't give me that, you crazy punk. You cannot live without the versions of "Temptation," "Ceremony," "Blue Monday," "Thieves Like Us," "The Perfect Kiss," "Bizarre Love Triangle" and "True Faith" on the first disc, among other things -- the second disc gilds the lily, making it even more so all around. :-)

Keith, you are certifiable. The only album New Order has released which is better than _Get Ready_ is _Movement_.

Search: Get Ready, and about everything else especially Technique just for Dream Attack, their very best song.

Destroy: As It Is When It Was on Brotherhood, a piece of shit with the most inconstant rhythm I have ever heard. And I don't like Technique's Run, it's simply irritating. The remixes of the Low Life songs on Substance pale to the originals.

I've only heard technique and i like it. an excellent record.

DESTROY: the original versions of "Temptation" and "Confusion", the version of "Confusion" that's on the Blade soundtrack, that song with Billy Corgan on Get Ready, The Rest of New Order, and disc three of Retro.

destroy: everything after "regret", including from track 2 of republic.

(in less charitable moods i would say destroy everything after "ceremony", but that's to judge them by its unfairly high standards)

Destroy: "World in Motion," "Shell-Shock."

I don't know as I'd destroy anything, but the songs that just sit on the I & IV chords are the only ones I care much about.

Oh yes it is. Trust me.

Nothing recorded by either can touch "1963" or "Doubts Even Here", though.

?????? god help us all

"Bizarre Love Triangle" is one of my fave singles evah.

I'd certainly avoid 90% of the remixes as well (via The Rest of and elsewhere).

god i love new order so very very much it almost physically hurts.

is john denver really credited in the brackets after 'run 2' on the best of sleeve or is someone having me on ?

How come no one has mentioned Thieves Like Us yet? (Surely the best single made be anyone ever etc)

'Mesh' on Substance is in fact Cries and Whispers - they mis-titled it.

(the first disc in my 'three histories' of New Order. It's my dream Substance disc1, with the singles from Technique and "Regret" tacked on - oh! and 1963 which is not the remix, but just a slightly shorter edit of the original. Oh and I LOVE the "Sub-culture" remix).

(surprisingly strong, I find I listen to this quite a bit. This disc generously pretends that Revenge never happened! also 'Twisted Tenderness' is absent and the last Other Two album which I haven't even heard. The second Monaco album is ignored because I don't remember anything from it).

I love these CDs probably more than any non-person thing.

scott said about 15 months ago:
Ceremony (the 7" is much better than the version on Substance)
so so true... sorry, so late. just wanted a check in the tally column.

IMHO, the finest thing they ever did. i have a pristine rip if you're interested.

^ as f. hazel says (just wanted to reiterate it because it annoys me)

The "bundle" included The Perfect Kiss 12".
