(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.

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.

Not really fair, since it was never intended for proper release.

I'm listening right now, and if I let my guard down a little bit, it's actually rather--no! these melodies are awful! Gah!

Destroy: "Ruined In A Day", "Spooky", "World", as drab a series of singles as any past-it band have let slide out - and after "Regret", too!

Of these, "World" is the one I found to be saved by a remix. The Perfecto Edit perks this track right up and ended up being used for the video.

If it's not cheating to Search some non New Order tracks, then The title track of Electronic's Twisted Tenderness, the title track of The Other Two's Superhighways and Monaco's What Do You Want From Me are three of the best not-really-new-order new order songs ever.

Here To Stay was a better song than anyone could have ever expected from them at that stage in the game. It pisses all over anything from Get Ready, and that wasn't even a bad album.

Destroy: Fine Time. It almost ruins Technique. It's the only NO song I don't like.

Everything else is fabulous.

but the confusion instrumental is amazing and great!

GETTING ALONG FAMOUSLY

GWEN STEFANI has roped in NEW ORDER and ANDRE 3000 for her long-awaited solo album.

NME.COM has heard ‘Love Angel Music Baby’ (LAMB), which is released on November 22 through Interscope, and the record sees the No Doubt singer united with a host of famous friends.

New Order’s Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook – who are hard at work on their own follow-up to 2001's ‘Get Ready’ – provide guitar and bass on the track ‘Real Thing’, which was co-written by Linda Perry (Christina Aguilera / Pink) and produced by Nellee Hooper (Bjork / Massive Attack).

destroy: fine time (i just can't stand this track. it really isn't funny!)
