New Order

[BrunoRepublic]

Nope, "Disappointed" was only a single -- unless you count the "Cool World" soundtrack as the LP, and Sumner & Friends did not contribute anything else to it.

BTW, "Cool World" was one of those much-hyped flicks that was simply expected to be a huge hit. It sank without a trace. :roll:

New Order's Blue Monday was inspired by Donna Summer's Our Love. They stated that many times in interviews.
if you put the 2 tracks on together it's shocking how the build up (especially at the end is simular...

In my opinion the New Order albums to get are "Substance" (Which wasn't really an album but a double disc collection of some of their songs up to that point) and "Technique"......."Republic" was garbage.

Graham Start is pretty much dead-on as far as Electronic goes. I consider the first Electronic album a must-have, but the other two albums were complete shit (I didn't like one song on either CD)......The "Disappointed" CD single is also something to look out for.

There was also Peter Hook's side-band, Revenge. "One True Passion" had 3 or 4 good songs. Not a mind-blowing CD, but it's worth getting. The CD is sort of like a cross between New Order and Joy Division.....The style of New Order, but with the darkness of Joy Division.

Hook later made another side-band called Monaco, I only liked the first single released from the album..."What Can You Do For Me".....It was a straight out rock song, reminiscent of Oasis or those types of bands, but it's good. The album's shit.

Then the other two members of the band made their own side-project called The Other Two....I didn't care for any of their material.

Voyage, I like New Order :D My favorite CD of them is Substance.

favorite cuts:

Everything's Gone Green
Blue Monday
Confusion
Thieves Like Us (Currently my favorite song by them)
Bizarre Love Triangle
True Faith

special recognition is:

Fine Time released in '88. Brings back a lot of memories... This 12" single is really good... I recommend it.

Totally agree about 'Fine Time' being really good, but why are those sheep sounds on the fade-out? :-?

With 5 Versions to choose from, I like the LP Mix and Silk Mix. Lyrics are:

"You're much to young, to mess around with me".....

beyond those lyrics... I can't understand what they say????


not sure why they recorded sheep sounds at the fade out...
we can only guess... I'm sure it has something to do with sex. Agree Steely? :lol:

Sex & sheep? I can just see Bernard standing there singing in his wellington boots somewhere in Wales! :o
