    🇬🇧 New Order "Republic" – 1993

    A more polished and not that good release where electronic textures meet a smoother, almost pop-leaning production.

  7. Released today 43 years ago:

    🇬🇧 New Order "Power, Corruption and Lies" – 1983

    A defining synthesis of post-punk roots and emerging electronic dance music. The album balances melodic bass-driven tracks with sequenced rhythms and evolving synth textures, marking a decisive shift toward a more electronic, club-oriented sound...

  10. Rescued from the rubbish bin at my wife’s village school following a spring clean. A box of candles, some recordable DVDs and, bizarrely, a copy of Substance by New Order. She has no idea where it came from, but gratefully received!

  11. Overdue 😍
    Post-punk icons Joy Division and New Order have finally received the recognition they deserve: Both bands have been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2026. After three nominations—the first two of which failed—they've finally made it.

    The ceremony will take place as usual, but details regarding the date and location are still pending.

  13. NEW ORDER
    1981-1982
    1982 Canada 12” E.P. pressing

    New Order had released a pair of non-album singles from ‘81 to ‘82, and none of those 5 tracks were on a full-length album at the time.

    This E.P. was created to gather those singles for the North American market, as the UK 🇬🇧 singles were a bit more difficult to find.

    The only thing that would make this better is if the debut single of “Cerrmony” b/w “In A Lonely Place” was also on it, but I totally get why it’s not.

    “Temptation” is still SO great, and “Procession” could have been a single on its own.

    A good friend of mine and I had a lengthy discussion last year while I was back visiting NYC.
    We both are of the belief that Joy Division would have kind of ended up sounding like New Order anyway, as the final few JD demos inform us. PARTICULARLY the early New Order.
    Close your eyes.
    You can hear Ian singing these.

    This time we are #Blue

    Flunk, “Blue Monday” from For Sleepyheads Only (2002)

    Are Blue Monday covers just a little too easy? Perhaps, but Norwegian band Flunk transform #NewOrder's dark #synthpop classic into something so intimate and delicate that deserves more ears.

  15. Listening to a BBC Sounds podcast, "The Rise and Fall of #Madchester", has got me back into the music of the #StoneRoses.

    That in turn has got me back into playing #BassGuitar. Which has made me realise that my little fingers are far too puny to hold down fat bass strings.

    So I'm trying to use my grip strength trainer with just my ring (for balance) and little fingers.

    Anyway, I can recommend bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p0ftp7p as a listen.

  20. "Mr. Brightside" geht gerade außerhalb des Fediverse viral - warum nicht auch hier?

    Der Name "The Killers" stammt übrigens aus dem Musikvideo "Crystal" von New Order. Dort werden die Musiker:innen von jungen Leuten dargestellt und auf der Bassdrum steht der damals fiktive Name "Killers".

  21. DiscogsDienstag: New Order – Decadence

    Sind Bootlegs noch ein Thema? Heutzutage gibt es ja von nahezu jedem Konzert kurze oder auch längere Handyvideos bei Youtube zu finden. Das gab es vor dem Internet natürlich noch nicht und unauthorisierte Konzertmitschnitte wurden auf Musikkassetten verkauft oder getauscht. Manche Aufnahmen wurden sogar auf Vinyl gepreßt und unter dem Ladentisch verkauft. So wie das Doppelalbum „Decadence“, das ich mal auf einem Flohmarkt erstanden habe. Darauf finden sich Liveaufnahmen von verschiedenen New Order-Konzerten aus dem Jahr 1989 sowie ein Remix und ein Soundcheck-Mitschnitt aus dem Jahr 1981 mit Liedern von Joy Division.

    Es beginnt mit einem Konzert vom 27.04.1989 aus dem Universal Amphitheatre in Universal City (Los Angeles, Kalifornien). Diese Konzert füllt die ersten drei Seiten des Albums mit den Songs „Dream Attack“, „Ceremony“, „All The Way“, „True Faith“, „Mr. Disco“, „Every Little Counts“ (alle Seite A), „Vanishing Point“, „1963“, „Round & Round“, „Temptation“, „Bizarre Love Triangle“ (alle Seite B), „Perfect Kiss“, „Blue Monday“ und „Fine Time“. Seite C schließt mit „Your Silent Face“, aufgenommen einen Tag später am gleichen Ort, das hatten sie am Vortag nämlich nicht gespielt.

    Die Seite D beeinhaltet „Touched By The Hand Of God“ (National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, 26.03.1989), „Love Less“ (Southern Star Amphiteatre, Atlanta, 15.04.1989), „Face Up“ (Saenger Theatre, New Orleans, 16.04.1989) sowie den „Razormaid-Mix“ von „5 8 6“. Den Abschluss bildet der Soundcheck vom 09.02.1981 (Heaven, London) mit den Joy Division-Songs „Walked In Line“, „No Love Lost“, „Digital“, „Decades“ und „Atmosphere“, die jeweils instrumental angespielt werden.

    Die Musikauswahl ist ja schon mal nicht schlecht, kommen wir nun zum wichtigsten Punkt, der Soundqualität. Ich sag mal so, ich habe schon schlechtere Bootlegs gehört. Es ist eine Publikumsaufnahme und die Fans sind deutlich zu hören. Die Musik kommt auch gut rüber, der Gesang von Barney hatte damals deutliche Schwächen. Als Fan bin ich allerdings begeistert, ich habe New Order selbst 4 Jahre später auf der Loreley gesehen.

    Die 1989er Konzerte fanden im Rahmen der Technique-Tour statt, daher stammen die meisten Songs von diesem Album (nur „Run“ und „Guilty Partner“ fehlten) und auch das Cover des Bootlegs ist an das Design von Peter Saville angelehnt, nur dass die Engelsstatue gespiegelt und ein weißer Hintergrund verwendet wurde.

  22. jeder verdammte entzug:

    "the chances are we've gone too far
    you took my time and you took my money
    now i fear you've left me standing
    in a world that's so demanding"

    jeder verdammte rückfall:

    "i feel so extraordinary
    something's got a hold on me
    i get this feeling i'm in motion
    a sudden sense of liberty"

  23. #NewOrder "Turn The Heater On" is a #PeelSession track. It is a cover of one of Ian Curtis' favourite tracks, originally recorded by #PeterTosh. With the melodica on it it feels immediately at home with the New Order sound from the time. And Peter Hook is actually playing a real bassline for once.

  24. 🇬🇧 New Order "Bizarre Love Triangle" – 1986

    Post-punk roots collide with shimmering synthpop perfection produced by Stephen Hague. Dancefloor-ready, hypnotic, and one of the most defining sounds of the era...

  25. I-Level -- Minefield 12"

    We recently watched the docco Record On: New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies on SBS. It’s worth a watch. Of particular interest was an interview with Arthur Baker, who mentioned that he had been working with I-Level at the time.

    I used to love I-Level. I’ve got three of their singles, but has always been my favourite.

    Minefield was such a massive tune in its day. The sound of being 17 for me.

    I still frequently get the B-side, Number 4 as an earworm. It's been 40-odd years now.

    This 12” has the added bonus of having the best mix of their other big tune, Give Me, on it.

    I used to live with a cat who would use my records as a scratching post. The sleeve of this record is evidence of that.

  26. Crippling Alcoholism – Camgirl Review

    By Tyme

    ‘Murderpop,’ though freshly minted, is an apt genre tag for the kind of music Crippling Alcoholism have been playing since 2022. Their sophomore effort, With Love From a Padded Room, got stuck in Dolphin Whisperer’s February Filter in 2024, where our resident porpoise spouted positively about its attributes, and drew me into Crippling’s lugubrious world. Upon learning another album was coming just a year and some change later, however, I feared diminished returns. Still, I seized the opportunity to cover third effort Camgirl, which tells the tragically sordid tale of online performer ‘Bella Pink,’ unfolding not only through her eyes, but of ‘those who consume her: lovers, relatives, business partners, stalkers.’1 I wondered what awful surprises Crippling Alcoholism had in store, my anticipation palpable for the return of Boston’s ‘cabaret of gloomerism.’2

    Freed from the shadows of With Love’s padded cells, Camgirl’s milieu is no less engaging, ushering us from the asylum to the sweat-soaked euphoria and flashy lights of the night club. A mix of Joy Division-style punk pop and New Order-tinged dark-wave electronica (“LADIE’S NIGHT”), Crippling Alcoholism still manage to keep their crazy intact, at times channeling Mamaleek (“Pretty in Pink”) as well as Swans (“Pliers”). While Jonathan’s ebullient, saccharine-sweet synths and spacy atmospherics drive most of Camgirl’s melodies, it’s Peter’s bass, Stefan’s and newcomer Alyce’s guitar work, and Danny Sher’s drums that serve as the gothically grimy counterpoint. From spattered money shots of techno-erratic beats (“Pay Pigs”) to full-on drum-addled grindcore cacophony, replete with Alyce’s black metal screams (“CAMGIRL”), Crippling Alcoholism encases Camgirl in a shiny pink, glitz-shimmering wrapper that hides rotten candy, exposing the darkly fetid, degenerate underbelly of sex sold in the digital age.

    As crucial to Crippling Alcoholism as any synth chord, guitar lick, or drum beat are the lyrics and vocals. Ever-present and immediately recognizable is the broodingly dulcet, Tom Waits meets Peter Steele baritone of Tony Castrati, who joins Alyce and a cast of guest vocalists—Juliet Gordon (Luxury Skin), Meredith Haines (Latter), and Aki McCullough (Ameokama)—to bring Bella’s Camgirl story to life. Catchy verses and hook-filled choruses abound, as Castrati sings on “Saran Wrapped Cash,” the words of Bella’s heartbroken father, ‘Should I kill myself? Well, funny you should ask,’ before admitting ‘I can’t see through your eyes cause mine are filled with hate,’ the song ending with Bella reminiscing about childhood, a Dark Rooms-esque diatribe of Alyce’s spoken word over airy synths. Other highlights include the super catchy “bedrot,” as I imagine a basement-dwelling Bella fan, drooling hungrily in the glow of his sex-filled laptop, poppily sings the chorus, ‘A monster, I’m a monster, Baby I’m a god damn monster,’ before screaming ‘I fucking hate the way I look, Yeah, I look like a fat fucking scumbag,’ in a heart-wrenching pique of self-loathing. Then the cinematic end credits style of album closer “despair,” as Meredith Haines embodies a used and abused Bella who has given in to her own hate and in true Lingua Ignota fashion screams at the world of degenerate consumerism that’s broken her, ‘You’ve always been nothing, A big vacuous nothing, I’ll squat down and I’ll piss in your fucking wounds!’ Camgirl is cinematically sexy, brash, and bristling with an in-your-face aggression, a soundtrack worthy of the smuttiest subject-specific script Tarantino could pen.

    With a runtime pushing just over sixty-four minutes, Camgirl’s fishnet-clad gams are giantessic but void of severable length. Crippling Alcoholism cram necessary meaning into every second as the strength of the story and great songwriting carry the day, while Eric Sauter’s mix and Derek Blackburn’s master perfectly capture the dark and light dichotomy of Bella’s downward spiral. My one cavil with Camgirl falls, too, however, at the feet of the mix and master, as there are moments throughout where Castrati’s vocals, in particular, get washed out, most noticeably amidst the lows of “screentime”‘s piano melancholy and the highs of “TARAVISTA”‘s synthetic ecstasy.

    Crippling Alcoholism fearlessly spit in the face of convention and expectation, reinventing themselves without betraying their power, which on Camgirl is the manufacture of feigned happiness. I love this iteration of the band, Alyce’s addition lending an even sharper metallic edge to what was already a whetted sword. Without much time to stew, Crippling Alcoholism have emerged with another darkened slice of excellence, deepening my fandom and increasing my excitement for what comes next.

    It would both recognise an artist who was born in Hackney according to Wikipedia, as well as obviously being funny, and also increase tourism
