Tastes and sounds were changing quickly in the late ’80s, which prompted New Order’s most startling transformation yet – from moody dance-rockers to, well, moody acid-house mavens. After the band booked a studio on the island hotspot of Ibiza, apparently not knowing that it was the center of the burgeoning house music craze, New Order’s sure instincts for blending rock and contemporary dance resulted in another confident, superb LP. Technique was the group’s most striking production job, with the single “Fine Time” proving a close runner-up to “Blue Monday” as the most extroverted dance track in the band’s catalog. Opening the record, it was a portrait of a group unrecognizable from its origins, delivering lascivious and extroverted come-ons amid pounding beats. It appeared that dance had fully taken over from rock, with the guitars and bass only brought in for a quick solo or bridge. But while pure dance was the case for the singles “Fine Time” and “Round & Round,” elsewhere New Order were still delivering some of the best alternative pop around, plaintive and affecting songs like “Run” (the third single), “Love Less,” and “Dream Attack.” Placed in the perfect position to deliver the definitive alternative take on house music, the band produced another classic record.

A great leap forward from their funereal debut album, Power, Corruption & Lies cemented New Order’s place as the most exciting dance-rock hybrid in music (and it didn’t even include the massive “Blue Monday” single, released earlier that year). Confident and invigorating where Movement had sounded disconsolate and lost, the record simply pops with energy from the beginning “Age of Consent,” an alternative pop song with only a smattering of synthesizers overlaying an assured Bernard Sumner, who took his best vocal turn yet. Unlike the hordes of synth pop acts then active, New Order experimented heavily with their synthesizers and sequencers. What’s more, while most synth pop acts kept an eye on the charts when writing and recording, if New Order were looking anywhere (aside from within), it was the clubs — “The Village” and “586” had most of the technological firepower of the mighty “Blue Monday.” But whenever the electronics threatened to take over, Peter Hook’s grubby basslines, Bernard Sumner’s plaintive vocals, and Stephen Morris’ point-perfect drum fills reintroduced the human element. Granted, they still had the will for moodiness; the second track was “We All Stand,” over five minutes of dubbed-out melancholia. Aside from all the bright dance music and production on display, Power, Corruption & Lies also portrayed New Order’s growing penchant for beauty: “Your Silent Face” is a sublime piece of electronic balladry.

Movement is a first hesitant step in the transition from Joy Division to New Order. After the tragic loss of Ian Curtis, the three remaining members of the former band added keyboardist Gillian Gilbert and soldiered on. Despite a relatively assured debut single (“Ceremony,” which didn’t appear on the album), the first New Order album revealed a band understandably caught up in mourning for its former lead singer. (But of course, themes of loss and isolation were hardly novel for them.) Movement was made up of songs written just after the suicide of Ian Curtis, and it was recorded with alternating vocal spots to see whose would fit best — although neither bassist Peter Hook nor guitarist Bernard Sumner sounded quite worthy of the mantle. Sumner wound up taking lead on all the tracks except for “Dreams Never End” and “Doubts Even Here.” At times, both vocalists’ hesitancy makes it sound as if they were recording guide vocals for a Joy Division LP, expecting Ian Curtis to come in later. Despite the band’s opaque lyrics, there are easily spotted references to Curtis all over the record, with despair and confusion reigning, especially on “Senses” (“No reason ever was given”) and “ICB” (“It’s so far away, and it’s closing in”). More so than on any Joy Division record, it also revealed a group unafraid to experiment relentlessly in the studio until it had emerged with something unique. It showed, too, on tracks like the very hooky “Dreams Never End” or the insistently danceable “Chosen Time,” some of the pop smarts that would flower fully later on in their career. Spurred on by producer Martin Hannett, despite his antagonistic relationship with the band (and perhaps, because of it), New Order produced a ghostly, brittle record, occasionally uptempo but never upbeat, with drum machines rattling and echoing over dark waves of synthesizers and Hook’s iconic basswork. A masterpiece in the career of any other post-punk band, Movement paled only in comparison to the band’s later work. – John Bush

“Low-Life” is the third studio album by English rock band New Order. Released in May 1985 by Factory Records, “Low-Life” is considered to be among New Order’s strongest work, displaying the moment at which the band completed its transformation from post-punk hold-overs to dance rockers. The album shows New Order’s increased incorporation of synthesizers and samplers, while still preserving the rock elements of their earlier work. The original Factory release (Japan and UK) CD versions of this album are mastered with pre-emphasis. The songs on this album formed the basis of the band’s live concert video, Pumped Full of Drugs, filmed in Tokyo shortly before the album’s release. The track “This Time of Night” was originally titled “Pumped Full of Drugs”. The music video for “The Perfect Kiss” was directed by Jonathan Demme. The song “Elegia” was featured in the Academy Award-nominated short film More by Mark Osborne, and was also used in the E3 2015 trailer for the video game Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. In 2015 the album was re-released and remastered.

New Order’s third consecutive live album since the release of their 2015 studio album Music Complete, Education Entertainment Recreation was recorded at their only U.K. concert in 2018, which took place at London’s Alexandra Palace. While their previous release, 2019’s ∑(No,12k,Lg,17Mif) New Order + Liam Gillick: So it goes.., was an unconventional set of mostly deep cuts that featured a 12-piece synth ensemble, this one is a lot closer to the more straightforward NOMC15. The main difference is that Education Entertainment Recreation only has a pair of songs from Music Complete (plus “Tutti Frutti” on the Blu-ray edition), and two more tracks overall, which means there’s more room for hits and Joy Division tunes. “Disorder” and “Sub-culture” have fortunately remained in the repertoire since the last release, “Love Vigilantes” makes a welcome appearance, and it’s hard to go wrong with standbys like “Your Silent Face,” a gleefully audience-assisted “Bizarre Love Triangle,” “Crystal,” and the “Street Hassle”-referencing arrangement of “Temptation.” The trio of Joy Division songs concluding the set, naturally finishing with “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” feels like a goodwill gesture to the audience, but the band generally seem more committed to the New Order material. Essentially, this is all well-trodden territory for New Order and their fans, but for anyone who has an emotional connection to their music, it’s still a potent reminder of how vital and life-affirming their best songs are. – Paul Simpson

New Order had been so good at integrating synth and guitars (often on the same song) that fans who greeted 1986’s Brotherhood with the realization that it was split into a rock side and a dance side couldn’t help but be a little disappointed. Still, the songs and the band’s production had reached such a high level that the concept worked superbly, without calling undue attention to itself. The rock side comes first, revealing more of the emotional side of Bernard Sumner’s singing and songwriting, even leading off with acoustic guitar for one song. But Brotherhood was also a little harder than what had come before; Sumner often sang with a come-on sort of brio, matching Peter Hook’s seething work on the bass. The songwriting was excellent, and the album was delivered with great pacing, especially on the first four tracks — sensuous and roiling for “Paradise,” bright and emphatic on “Weirdo,” reflective for “As It Is When It Was,” then back to direct and upbeat on “Broken Promise.” The synthesizer side was similarly assured, beginning with one of their brightest singles (and biggest transatlantic hits), “Bizarre Love Triangle.” There was no dark side to Brotherhood, as there was with Low-life; after “Bizarre Love Triangle” came only the Middle Eastern fusion of “Angel Dust” and the simple, pastoral synth pop of “All Day Long” and “Every Little Counts.” For better and worse, this was a New Order with nothing more to prove — witness the tossed-off lyrics and giggles on “Every Little Counts” — aside from continuing to make great music.

New Order today release their first new track since 2015’s album, Music Complete. ‘Be A Rebel’ was originally planned as a release ahead of New Order’s tour this autumn, but with live shows on hold and their dates re-scheduled to 2021, the band felt it important to share new music with fans.
“In tough times we wanted to reach out with a new song. We can’t play live
for a while, but music is still something we can all share together.
We hope you enjoy it… until we meet again.” – Bernard Sumner
With a message to celebrate ourselves and appreciate what we have, even in hard times, ‘Be A Rebel’ is an uplifting, dreamy cut of New Order synth pop. Listen here: https://youtu.be/f6E6ugW7TOo
New Order will also release the definitive collection of their 1983 studio album Power, Corruption & Lies via Warner Music on 2 October 2020. The box set will be accompanied by individual releases of the four 12” vinyl singles from 1983/1984 that didn’t appear on the original album, beginning with the best-selling 12” of all time, ‘Blue Monday’, followed by ‘Confusion’, ‘Thieves Like Us’ and ‘Murder’.

In 1978, Joy Division made their first TV appearance in the former Manchester Granada studios on Tony Wilson’s show, So It Goes. In the summer of 2017, New Order (aka Joy Division Mark II) returned to the scene of the crime for 5 concerts, with ∑(No,12k,Lg,17Mif) New Order + Liam Gillick: So It Goes… being their 13th July performance. Despite not being particularly renowned for their on-stage performances, they still continue to regularly release live albums. After BBC Radio 1 Live in Concert in 1992, Live at the London Troxy in 2011, Live at Bestival 2012 in 2013 and NOMC15 in 2017, Bernard Sumner’s band conceived this show with artist Liam Gillick, who is normally better suited to the Tate Modern than to concert halls. Some tracks have even been reworked with the help of composer Joe Duddell and a 12-strong synthesizer ensemble.
