Free Music Review: Spectacular chronology, perfect collection
Hit: 5 Stars
I cannot say how influential New Order were, I was neither a musician, nor a sensible music journalist, but one thing I can tell about New Order: there was a mysterious aureole about them, especially for people who didn't see the band live. It was an intriguing, very fresh feeling to hear or read about New Order, so was their sound.
"Singles" is a great opportunity to show New Order's sonic development from post punk to disco dance to the mature guitar pop of the 2000s; it easily outshines the band's all previous compilations. "Substance" (1987) still performs its mission as a handy collection of 12" A- & B-sides, but it's very dated. "(the best of) New Order" (1994) always felt like a quick cash-in after London Records had acquired the Factory catalogue, and apart from the superior sound, there's nothing that isn't on "Singles". "International" (2002) was and now even more is an odd lifeless mix of "hits". In the late 90s New Order toyed with the idea of issuing a box of all singles they had released, but the "Recycle" project never materialized. Finally, as if having the presentiment of falling apart again, New Order released this brilliant collection. The concept is simple: to get together 30 or so singles in their shortest possible format (that is 7" and radio edits, save for "Blue Monday" for obvious reasons) and place it onto 2 CDs. With a little trickery this task is done greatly. The booklet includes a brief eulogy and eye-pleasing sleeve art of each single.
Few technical oddities for those who are interested:
1) "Singles" has several tracks and song versions that hadn't appeared officially on CD before. These are: "Ceremony" (7", 1981; original version recorded in late 1980, without Gilbert), "Everything's Gone Green" (7", 1981), "Temptation" (7", 1982), "Confusion" (7", 1983), "Thieves Like Us" (7", 1984), "Sub-Culture" (7", 1985), "State of the Nation" (7", 1986).
2) The edit of "Everything's Gone Green" presented here is the B-side of "Procession" (1981). The cover art for "Everything's Gone Green" singles shown in the booklet is wrong, it's merely the "1981-82" EP sleeve.
3) "1963" is listed as remixed by Arthur Baker; it's not, it's the original 1987 edited version from the "True Faith" B-side. Baker's remix of "1963" was made for the "Nineteen63" single in 1995 (sleeve art of which is shown).
4) "Blue Monday `88" is simply a remix of the original song. Only due to its historical significance for New Order's career (second US hit), it is included here. "Blue Monday '95" in a great remix by Hardfloor didn't get the same treat.
5) The miserable fate of "Run 2" is again perfectly shown here. It's not "Run 2" at all, but the album version of "Run". Because of the lawsuit with John Denver over the similarities with his "Leaving in Jet Plane", "Run 2" cannot be officially released. HOWEVER, you can find it in "A Collection", New Order video compilation DVD (2005).
6) "Turn" is just a wishful thinking. It was believed to be released as a single in the spring 2006 but this never happened.
Singles Poster
The massively influential band New Order formed in Manchester, England, in 1980, rising from the ashes of U.K. post-punk pioneers Joy Division (after singer Ian Curtis took his own life). Guitarist Bernard Sumner assumed vocal duties for the new unit, and with drummer Stephen Morris, bassist Peter Hook, and keyboardist Gillian Gilbert, made music history. Successfully fusing new wave, electronica, synth-pop, and club music earlier than many bands now seen as contemporaries, their unique sound was as insightful and soulful as it was perfectly suited for the dance floor. From their earliest singles to their latest hits, this historic double-disc collection offers a career-spanning portrait of one of the most enduring and distinctive bands in modern rock.Alternative Rock Music CDs
