Introduction:
This is a special about New Order – the legendary Manchester band formed in 1980 by Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook & Stephen Morris after the tragic death of Ian Curtis and the end of Joy Division.
New Order combine(d) post-punk and synth-pop but also other electronic dance music like Acid House. So they got an important part of the British music scene of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.
They had several hits like “Bizzare Love Triangle”, “True Faith” and the club hit “Blue Monday”/”Blue Monday 88” which is still part of some DJ sets.
After Hooky’s abandoning New Order consists of Bernard Sumner, Gillian Gilbert, Stephen Morris, Tom Chapman and Phil Cunningham nowadays.
Today (25th September 2015) New Order releases a new album called “Music Complete” on the legendary indepedent label Mute so we want to celebrate it with this selection.
Enjoy their different sounds …
