They were in the "second" wave of electronic music for me(after Eno, Kraftwerk) and they are pioneers in club music. I remember Blue Monday. My friend at the record store did not like it. He said "sounds like a stack of quarters stacked on the rhythm machine" I like Power Corruption and Lies and the Republic album. But have listened to most albums. |
@daledeee1 Great album! I bought the 12" of Blue Monday after I heard it one night. The vinyl looks like a giant 12" floppy disc--I think its still the best selling 12" of all time. Technique is my fav--Vanishing Point is an awesome song. |
@larsman, Me too. For me the Joy Division / New Order is a bit like the The Beatles / solo years. Whichever way I look at it, it’s a bit of a come down.
Temptation was a great single though. The falling out between Hooky and Barney, not so great. I still don’t understand it, but Peter Hook always comes across as a great bloke.
