I never heard any New Order, what would be a good place to start? The only thing I've listened to by them was Joy Divison's Closer album, and besides "Isolation" I didn't really like it too much (although I can see how others would).

well for a basic overall summary is best to start here:

personally, i and many others think Technique is the best album, but all the hits are on 'singles' and probably in their simplest form - in their original single format its the best place to start,

there have been loads of compilations substance, international, retro... all are worth checking because they showcase the bands entire career....

JD is a bit harsher... and probably worth going back to if you enjoy the stuff mentioned above...

have fun... i listen to New Order more than Underworld, but don't tell anyone....
