New Order Drama

[kowalski__]

That Electronic record was the last time any member of the band, or the band collectively, felt like the original exploratory spirit of the group was alive. There would no longer be anything like "The Perfect Kiss" or "Fine Time" and instead it was all mostly middle of the road pop with a fair bit of self referentiality. I remember reading an NME article previewing the second Electronic record and it Bernard Sumner mentioned that he'd gone sober but had started experimenting with Prozac so that probably partially explains why that record was such a flatline.[/quote]


in that first period, they released amazing 12 inches, great b sides.

but, come on, after that we've got "out of control", "twisted tenderness", "get ready sessions" etc.

lets see what bernard will do next.
