Member	New Order
Carmanah Member	3/2/2003 2:17:00 AM This afternoon I popped into Virgin Megastore in downtown Vancouver... and they were playing a bunch of 21st century new waves songs and that TATU single everyone's freaking out about. Then they played a New Order song that I couldn't name right away. It was definitely New Order's signature bass.... and their vocals... but I couldn't place the song. So I deciphered (sp?) the lyrics and did a lyric search on the computer at home. Turns out, the song was "Vicious Streak" off of their latest (2 year old?) album. The same album that has their single "Crystal". My question to other New Order fans - have any of you purchased their latest album? Second - what's it like? Third - If I like Crystal, and Vicious Streak, and I'm too lazy to download all the other songs, would I like that said album? Thanks

Grapes Member	3/2/2003 10:39:00 PM You are so cool it's ridiculous. If you want to hear an interesting take on "Crystal", d/l the Lee Coombs remix. Cheers, Dave
Carmanah Member	3/3/2003 9:12:00 PM Thanks Grapes... I'll be sure to check it out. Back to New Order - so... there must be some more closet fans here. Don't be shy, folks. Pipe up!

mowlah Member	3/4/2003 3:22:00 PM I stopped tuning into Bernard after he did that song for World Cup... and then I heard Crystal and I was like.. huh... Kinda like U2 when they did Zooropa. I still have my collection of over 30 NO vinyl's including a UK Virgin Vinyl release of Movement. Too bad I sold my decks in 94'... I burned a CD of both Peel sessions and that Movement disc if anyone is interested.
PatrickJ Member	3/5/2003 8:35:00 AM Carmanah... if you're a big New Order/Joy Division fan... go rent 24 Hour Party People. They'll have it at Rogers Video. It's basically the story of the Manchester music scene from that era and there's a lot of focus on them.
PatrickJ Member	3/5/2003 8:36:00 AM I like Zooropa
_DT_ Member	3/5/2003 9:12:00 AM The Lee Coombs remix of Crystal is an awesome song,,, this record hasn't left my case for almost an entire year.
nacho Member	3/5/2003 10:42:00 AM Zooropa rocks, I actually started paying more attention to U2 when it came out because they went off the deep end a bit. That album never would have been made if not for New Order influence. I've got an album called "substance" hanging around and it never gets old. What do you guys think the most influential bands of our time are? I'd say: 1Beatles 2Ramones 3Clash 4Nirvana 5U2 6New Order
PatrickJ Member	3/5/2003 9:26:00 PM Interesting that you'd rank The Ramones and The Clash up so high. I would agree that they are two of the greatest bands of all time... but influential... yeah, maybe. I think Led Zeppelin would be in there too though.
PatrickJ Member	3/6/2003 8:54:00 AM Carmanah... have you rented that movie yet?
Carmanah Member	3/10/2003 2:23:00 AM No, not yet... but I will, I'm sure. Zooropa is one of my favourite U2 albums too btw. I guess that's not surprising since I really got into U2 in 1993. Ironically, New Order's "Regret" was released around the same time - and that was my first introduction to them. (Keeping in mind, I was 12 at the time). I really like Regret and Zooropa for their nostalgic qualities they have in my life. Back to New Order - Substance indeed is an album one cannot tire from!
Funkadelic Member	3/11/2003 1:18:00 AM New Order is cool and all but The Rapture is where it's at.
PatrickJ Member	3/11/2003 7:11:00 PM Everyone who likes New Order should rent (or own) 24 Hour Party People. Rogers Video has it.
Carmanah Member	4/12/2005 11:19:00 PM ... Still haven't seen 24 hour party people
mowlah Member	4/13/2005 11:06:00 AM The Ian Curtis segments made me cry... a little bit...
deadBeatDave DJ/Artist	4/14/2005 5:23:00 PM Yes every New Order fan should own 24 Hour Party People...I do Yes the album Get Ready is good...buy it. it was from 2001 though There is a new New Order album that should be out anytime now...I saw the latest video on the Wedge about a month ago, very good, but I can't remember what it was called. Sorry.
jimmy Member	4/14/2005 7:23:00 PM You guys rule. "Substance - 1987" is still on of my favorite albums.
Tantalus Member	4/15/2005 1:12:00 AM Okay, here's my take: the new New Order, titled Waiting for the Siren's Call, is crap. Mind you, I have only heard it four or five times, and sometimes the best records take a long time. But so far, nothing. Which is not to say that all NEW New Order is bad. Actually, the previous record, Get Ready, is surprisingly decent for an increasingly geriatric outfit. I recommend it. Otherwise, just pick up the various collaborations Bernhard Sumner does, like with the Chemical Brothers, Electronic, etc.
