I just got the brand-spankin’ new New Order CD today. Actually paid for it and everything. I’ve always been a longtime fan of the band and so far, I’m thinking this CD rocks. Any takers? Who hates it? Why? If you haven’t heard it yet, it sounds a lot like Technique, much use of guitars and other actual instruments. Very layered, as always between the electronica and the guitars and such. Let’s hear the critique my friends! ---

Had a listen at the record store the other day. What is up with letting Billy Corgan and Bobby Gillespie on it? Yuck. Since when did a New Order album feature anyone except New Order? Anyway, track one sounded nice, and the rest sounded awful. How’s that for a first impression? I love every one of their other albums. I’ll probably buy it eventually and burn myself a copy sans the two tracks containing guests. Should grow on me. -fh ---

I read that Gillian Gilbert was not on it for “family obligations” or something like that. What happened? ---

I know she wasn’t touring cos she was taking care of her and Stephen’s child; I didn’t know she wasn’t on the album at all. I’ve only heard snippets of Get Ready; if it sounds like Technique I’ll be very happy–Republic was a bit of a disappointment. (Hell, I’m just happy New Order’s together again.) ---

Ok…i haven’t gotten it yet, but i LOVED Technique, and unlike a lot of other fans, i also enjoyed Republic. So, how does it compare to Republic and or Technique? ---

I dunno. ---

I’m pretty sure she was with New Order at Moby’s Area:One festival. I seem to remember her being introduced when Moby brought them out for _New Dawn Fades_. My memory is a bit hazy though, so I could be wrong. ---

yook… They did “New Dawn Fades” with Moby??? wow… i need to find me some of that. any online sightings of it? as far as the OP, haven’t heard it, but the idea is exciting to me too, though I actually liked republic MORE than technique, not saying much, as I didn’t really like either of them all that much. I think I’ll pci kit up tomorrow and report back with a verdict. thanks for the reminder Bad Hat ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Bad Hat \* > \*\*yook… > They did “New Dawn Fades” with Moby??? wow… \*\* Wow indeed. He brought them out during his set (which rocked)…going on about what a dream come true it was for him to be playing a Joy Division song with the guys who did the original. Billy Corgan was there too (he was playing with NO on the tour). It was way cool. Apparently he’s a big JD/NO fan (which is why they were on the tour). > [@](#): > > **i need to find me some of that. any online sightings of it?** Not that I’ve seen. Would be cool to have. > [@](#): > > \*\*as far as the OP, haven’t heard it, but the idea is exciting to me too, though I actually liked republic MORE than technique, not saying much, as I didn’t really like either of them all that much.

I love the new single, Crystal, though I’m not overly familiar with their work- beyond Blue Monday, that is.
