New Order Online
New Order were formed in 1980, following the demise of Joy Division and the death of lead singer Ian Curtis. The post-punk/electro sound gave New Order much critical acclaim. The 1983 hit single "Blue Monday" became the best-selling 12" of all time.
The second album "Power, Corruption & Lies" had a truly electro/synth-based sound and was one of my favourite eighties albums.
My two favourite New Order tracks are "Blue Monday" (the original version) and "True Faith". If I remember rightly, I bought the 7" single (the cover has a gold leaf on a blue background) and still have it lying around somewhere!. Unfortunately, I don't have a record player anymore! Still, it's much easier to just listen to it on my MP3 player, although you just can't beat sticking the needle on a record - I loved the vinyl format.
