so we were at Wemberlee last night and me and my mate we talking about our fav New Order tracks, and we kinda came up with two completely different lists of our favs... which i suppose is ok,

so anyway here's my top ten New Order Tracks... (currently)

feel free to comment and add your own...


1. Temptation
2. Dream Attack
3. Ceremony
4. Here to Stay
5. Shellshock
6. Love Vigilanties
7. Guilt is a Useless Emotion
8. In A Lonely Place
9. Vanishing Point
10. True Faith

its a tough list to compile, but my mate has different NO tastes ... and perhaps you do too...

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

leave me alone
your silent face

age of consent

shellshock

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

a few similar ones to me, I knew you'd pick 'leave me alone' ;)

and to be honest any of those could've made my top 10...

i just fancied sticking in a couple of 'newbies' like GIAUE & Hear to Stay

now i come to think of it... i missed 'The Village' which i absolutely love...

bollocks - now i'm pissed off...

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

can i include jd stuff?

well i'll include the jd stuff that no has played live anyway....

01 : atmosphere
02 : true faith
03 : blue monday
04 : temptation
05 : she's lost control
06 : crystal
07 : touched by the hand of god
08 : age of consent
09 : confusion
10 : perfect kiss

probably a clichéd/obvious list for you 'ardcore no fans, but whatever. :p

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

your silent face would make it to the list if the lyrics werent so pants. its a great tune tho. as for my top ten i cant remember the title of a lot of em. i just generally enjoy NO.

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

Stimpee for once i agree with you, I can NEVER remember NO song titles. An i'm sure i'm going to catch it, but everytime i hear Blue Monday It just takes me somewhere else... I love how Bernie talks about how long Blue Monday is and how it goes on for ages, but i could listen to it over and over and over and over...

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

I think the reason I can never remember the titles is because of Peter Saville's ace art where you look at the box or the vinyl and the song titles were never on there. Instead they are on the piece of vinyl thats spinning (hard to spin my head at 33rpm) or on the CD in the hifi. Great art but not very practical. So I never learned a lot of them (unless they were singles that had charted, they usually had the name of the song in the chorus).

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

Pfff... New Order Top Ten? That's really a too difficult question... (there can be at least 5 NO Top Ten...) anyway... here's a "possible" one :

Temptation
Everything's Gone Green
Blue Monday
Jetstream
Slow Jam
World
586
Ceremony
Here To Stay
Thieves Like Us

VoilÃ*...

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

New Order Top 10:

1. Movement
2. Power, Corruption & Lies
3. Low-Life
4. Brotherhood
5. Technique
6. Republic
7. Get Ready
8. Waiting For The Siren's Call

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

Oh thats hard! Does Joy Division pieces count too like, Atmosphere, Transmission and LWTUA?;) Beuase they will win by my choice;)

R.I.P. Ian

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

off the top of my head, and in no particular order

Ceremony
1963
Regret
Crystal
Dreams Never End (specifically the Peel Session recording)
Temptation (although I can never decide which version)
True Faith

actually, after that there's none that really spring to mind. But I've not really listened to much New Order lately. I've been meaning to stick Substance in the car for a while. It's about time I had another New Order phase . . .

**ooh, and reading back through other peoples' lists I remembered Here to Stay, which should go on as well**

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

while i don't have a proper list put together yet, i did want to chime in to say that 'guilt is a useless emotion' is so going to be on my list. that track is a monster :D

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

World in Motion! all 10, all day!

No. Really its more like this:
True Faith
Ceremony
Dreams Never Fade
Temptation
Crystal
Here to Stay
Regret
Spooky
Shellshock
Confusion

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

ceremony
temptation
age of consent
thieves like us
perfect kiss (12")
bizarre love triangle
true faith
dream attack
regret
primitive notion
-----------
you know what, this is ridiculous. i could have just as easily selected 10 completely diff tracks and been very happy with that list. i call bullshit and mattval knows it!

lock this fucking thread!


edit: sub Age of Consent for Procession, sub Primitive Notion for Vanishing Point

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

stimpee, the lyrics to that song were written, by the whole group and whoever else may have been outside the studio at the time. it's common knowledge the band were on a fair bit of acid recording PC&L and Bernard is as bad as they come in the lyrics dept. so he left a book outside the studio and as people came and went, they wrote down a line in the book. Your Silent Face is a result of that experiment. that may help you enjoy the random/meaninglessness of the lyrics.

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

PS. Joy Division and New Order can't be in the same category. They just aren't the same band. They are but in essence the impact of Ian Curtis can't be mistaken. HIS LYRICS were memorable. TWO DIFF. bands. IMHO

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

as this is my thread too and i kinda ranted about this in the New Order Live at Wemberlee thread, JD can't be included in a NO top ten...

my whole complaint about the live gig the other night was that they kicked off with 5 or 6 JD songs...and as much as i like them and they way they are performed by Barney now, i still don't wanna see NO playing JD songs to that extent - THEY are two different bands imo, but basically with 3 of the remaining members the same...yes they do overlap but they are different - i am a NO fan, and i like JD but was never into them because that all happened before i even got into NO... its a complex issue... but for the purposes of this thread, i say it should be NO top ten... if you wanna start a JD top ten, then i can add to that ;)

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

what 5,7,6,7?

is that the follow up to 586?

i have to agree with that list really,,,

republic is underatted but would still be 7/8th...nothing will beat technique for me... ever... not even dubnobass...

there I SAID it

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

i think this thread is very selfserving....you and biz could argue the finer points of new order for days....DAYS! and you know it. and you love it.

my top ten is better than yours.

so there

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

well my response to your previous post is better than yours....


(tbh...its one of the reasons why i created this thread to spread the love of new order in a selfserving way ;) )

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

This is toploaded with a lot of new remixes. i decided not to include the Pettibone mix of BLT, the remix of Paradise, DMC mix of Love Vig etc. to give some props to this selection. Also of note, the K-Klass instrumental mix of Ruined In A Day, the Philip Steir 2001 mixes of True Faith, the Fluke mixes of Spooky and the Extended Instrumental mix of Here To Stay. Some of the mixes of Someone LIke You were excellent and the Tocodisco mixes of Regret are good for the modern dancefloor. Here's my list, highly debateable, but at least it's better than MattVal's.

1. Guilt Is A Useless Emotion (Mac Quayle Extended Mix)
2. Bizarre Love Triangle (Richard X Extended)
3. Blue Monday (Andrea Mix)
4. Sub-Culture (Razormaid Mix V.3)
5. Ruined In A Day (Reunited In A Day Mix)
6. Round & Round (12" Extended Mix)
7. Crystal (Lee Coombs Mix)
8. Everything's Gone Green (Cicada Mix)
9. True Faith (King Roc Mix)
10. Regret (Sabres Slow N Low Mix)

Perfecto mix of World (Price of Love) is also very good!

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

you are so plainly wrong... as good as some of these remixes are my list is simply much better, actually i should have put in the King Roc mix, but thats the only exception, and i never liked the sabres mixes of Regret...personally...

possibly we have overlooked the Silk Hurley mix of Fine Time which although dated is still class... to be honest remixes are much more subjective than just plain old singles... and as some of the more recent tracks have about 12 remixes its oft hard to pick which ones are the best....

come to think of it - i don't think i have the Andrea mix of Blue Monday...

mmm

maybe we'll let someone else make some comments here ... ;)

Re: New Order Top Ten
 

Mmmm... I'd simply call this "ping-pong" game between Matt & Biz pure erudition... before reading all this, I thought I knew a bit about New Order, but now... :(

If you don't have the purple swirled vinyl import from Japan with rare demo traxs then don't bother replying. :D
