Just a heads up for all you NO fans...all details 'borrowed' from worldinmotion.net:

three new bits heading your way this Autumn:

Waiting for the Sirens Call - 3 x 7" only release in the UK:

THE NEW SINGLE RELEASED 26th SEPTEMBER THROUGH LONDON RECORDS

Following the success of the top 10 single, ‘Krafty’ and ‘Jetstream’, the superb collaboration with the Scissor Sisters’ Ana Matronix, New Order return with the sublime title track from their eight studio album. ‘Waiting For The Sirens’ Call’ was produced by the New Order themselves and the band consider it to be one of the best tracks they’ve ever made.

Waiting for the Sirens Call will be released on three separate 7”s only, remixed and back upped with exclusive tracks, a slipcase for all three discs will be available. Formats are as follows:

Disc 1: Waiting for the Sirens Call - Rich Costley Radio Edit
Temptation - Secret Machines Remix

Disc 2: Waiting for the Sirens Call - Band Mix
Everything’s Gone Green - Cicada Remix

Disc 3: Waiting for the Sirens Call - Jacknife Lee Remix
Bizarre Love Triangle - Richard x Remix

I think that there is a scheduled release on other formats for the rest of the world -

but the unique and nice thng about this release is that you have to apply to get the single slipcase holder at this website http://www.jointhelist.com/Warner/neworder/slipcase (its free)

next up, in October:

Singles - a complete set of the bands singles (in their original form - so it is different to the previous releases of the bands greatest hits, anthology's etc,.)

"On October 3rd New Order will be releasing a definitive collection of all of their singles to date. ‘Singles’ is the ultimate anthology of the works of one of the most exceptional and groundbreaking British bands to date.

Drawing from twenty four years worth of remarkable recorded material, ‘Singles’ compiles every single released by the band in chronological order. The only way to own all the tracks on ‘Singles’ would be to have purchased every New Order single released in their career. ‘Singles’ displays just what New Order are so good at – creating the perfect pop singles that have crossed over to become ideal moments in music over the last twenty four years. Where as previous collections have focused on the different elements of New Order, ‘Singles’ is the first time that the bands definitive works have been laid out to create this classic New Order collection".

And, finally, what most people have been waiting for, a definitive DVD video's collection: Called 'Item'

"New Order, the innovative British pop group who have an enjoyed a 25+ year career, is set to release NEW ORDER: ITEM a 23-video collection that includes hit singles “Bizarre Love Triangle,” “Blue Monday,” and “True Faith,” plus alternate versions and new videos for “Temptation” and “Ceremony ” created exclusively for this release. The second disc in the set is a two-hour documentary with personal interviews, and interviews with musicians such as U2’s Bono on the affect the band’s music has had.

After the demise of Joy Division, due to Ian Curtis’ suicide, the three remaining members moved forward as New Order. Having already cemented a solid place in rock history with Joy Division, the band had very little left to prove but their influence was far from over. With their uninhibited use of electronics, the group changed the way audiences forever view electronic music and its integration into traditional rock genres. Over two decades later, their footprint is all the more palpable as bands like The Killers, The Bravery and Bloc Party consistently cite New Order’s music as a key influence.

The band has always treated the photography and video elements of packaging and promotion as an equally integral part of what they do. Having continually turned to the brightest names in film and photography when working on videos to accompany their songs, a litany of photographers, choreographers, directors and producers have contributed to this collection. Included in this collection is Jonathan Demme’s video for “The Perfect Kiss,” famed photographer William Wegman and animator Robert Breer’s vision for “Blue Monday ‘88” and painter Robert Longo’s “Bizarre Love Triangle.” Michael H. Shamberg, producer of many New Order videos, contributes liner notes to the DVD"

so thats it a heads up for you fans of the greatest electronic band ever

and

another 'greatest hits' compilation, but another one worth buying, although one really for hardcore fans, as i feel most 'casual' fans will survive with retro, international, substance or whatever other compilation they have...but for sheer 4 minute single excellence - the Singles album is well worth buying by the looks of it...its plain and simple a collections of every single.

but i think the big one will be the 'Item' DVD esepcaiilaly with the Regret Baywatch performance!!

enjoy
