Singles

If you've never heard of New Order, you're most likely to have been born in the 90s. Oops... did I just imply I was old?

New Order was born from Joy Division, another fantastic band from the 80s. Their lead singer, Ian Curtis, committed suicide and the surviving members of the band formed New Order. Current band members include Bernard Summer, Stephen Morris and Peter Hook.

New Order is one of my all time favourite groups. Over the years, I have collected most of their singles on 12" vinyl as well as on CDs. There was no exception when I purchased their "Singles" album containing 2 CDs. I have most of the tracks featured on Disc 1 - featuring club classics like "Blue Monday", "Touched By The Hand Of God", "Bizarre Love Triangle", "Sub-Culture", "True Faith" and "1963". Disc 2 also contains fantastic tracks like "Round and Round", "Regret" and "World (The Price of Love)".

What makes this collection worth getting, especially if you've enjoyed their music but never bought an album, is the fact that they've kindly included tracks from their latest album titled "Waiting For The Sirens' Call". Check out "Krafty". It'll definately get your feet tapping.

Trivia : Bernard Summer later worked with members of other popular 80s bands like Johnny Marr (The Smiths) and Neil Tennent (Pet Shop Boys) to form Electronic, another electronica band. The band was described as an on and off project. Their first hit single, Getting Away With It, was a huge success.
