Search and Destroy : New Order

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.

(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.

7": UK 1981 (Factory FAC 33) [gold sleeve]

4:34 Ceremony
4:35 In A Lonely Place

12": UK 1981 (Factory FAC 33) [green sleeve]

4:34 Ceremony
6:12 In A Lonely Place


12": UK 1981 (Factory FAC 33) [cream/blue sleeve] *

4:22 Ceremony **
6:12 In A Lonely Place

* Matrix indicates Side A as FAC 33 A2. Possibly catalogued as FAC 33T.
** Re-recorded when Gill joined the Band. This is the substance version, I think. Not sure what version is on the box-set. Will check tonight.

Also search the 7" of Shame of the Nation (Shame was better than State, but the shorter version of Shame was, I think, the finest of the NO tracks that hardly anyone's heard.)

I think that's right - also some import versions might have the *wrong* sleeve.

It's definitely the Gill version on Substance, also on the Palatine box - it's bugging me that I can't remember which one is on Retro.
