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)

1981 box set was epic. I leant mine to someone who never gave it back but I still have the files.
― dan selzer, Friday, 30 May 2014 21:05 (nine years ago) link
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.

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.

― piscesx, Friday, 19 September 2014 11:29 (nine years ago) link
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.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 19 September 2014 12:52 (nine years ago) link
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.

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.

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.
― piscesx, Monday, 5 September 2016 20:45 (seven years ago) link
(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.
― MatthewK, Monday, 5 September 2016 22:23 (seven years ago) link
nice one, thanks. I wonder if they're sorting out the botched album reissues too?

Already own Singles but would be tempted to get this again if released on CD.
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Tuesday, 6 September 2016 12:18 (seven years ago) link
it's coming out on double CD as well as vinyl box set
― Neil S, Tuesday, 6 September 2016 12:20 (seven years ago) link
surprised they didn't extend the track list to include the Music Complete singles, which would be right at home (much more than some Lost Sirens deep cut)
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Friday, 9 September 2016 13:11 (seven years ago) link
Not surprised, because now they can reissue it again.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 9 September 2016 15:43 (seven years ago) link
Listening to the remasters on Spotify, and even with the streaming quality, I can hear some significant improvements on these tracks. Just placed an order for the 4LP box set.

There's a great Periscope from a user named Bob something from the front row that has everything up to Plastic. Really good show. Regret not going now. Subculture sounded huge.

they were wonderful earlier this year or last year in Berkeley, whenever that was. Same setlist I think.

Barney did a subtle dis on the Cure - paraphrasing but something like 'we got an extra long set for you tonight. like the Cure. wait no, well maybe half as long as the Cure'
Some people in the crowd as we were leaving weren't impressed with the remixing of the classics. I kinda loved it. I also liked the alt version of Waiting for the Siren's Call..

― the Rain Man of nationalism. (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 19 September 2017 20:14 (six years ago) link
They shoot themselves in the foot for not playing the Shep Pettibone mix of Bizarre Love Triangle. The roar they get when the crowd recognizes the intro is huge and this updated version loses that recognition completely. I like the new versions, but I can see the side of those complaining.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 21:38 (six years ago) link
that sounds like a lovely show and wanted to go to it. i decided not to attend as i have seen New Order too many times around Los Angeles. glad you had fun.
