Review.- New Order were an English rock group formed in 1980 by Bernard Sumner (vocals, guitars, synthesizers), Peter Hook (bass, electronic drums), and Stephen Morris (drums, synthesizers). The band was formed in the wake of the demise of their previous band, Joy Division, following the suicide o
f singer Ian Curtis. They were soon joined by keyboardist/guitarist Gillian Gilbert. New Order's origins officially date back to mid-1976, when guitarist Bernard Sumner (formerly Albrecht) and bassist Peter Hook - inspired by a recent Sex Pistols performance - announced their intentions to form a b
and of their own. Recruiting singer Ian Curtis and drummer Stephen Morris, they eventually settled on the name Joy Division, and in 1979 issued their landmark debut LP, Unknown Pleasures. Their initial release as New Order was the single "Ceremony", backed with "In A Lonely Place". These two songs
were written in the weeks before Curtis took his own life. With the release of Movement in November 1981, New Order initially started on a similar route as their previous incarnation, performing dark, melodic songs, albeit with an increased use of synthesizers. The band viewed the period as a low po
int, as they were still reeling from Curtis' death. Hook commented that the only positive thing to come out of the Movement sessions was that producer Martin Hannett had showed the band how to use a mixing board, which allowed them to produce records by themselves from then on. A change in musical
direction was brought about when New Order visited New York City in 1981. The band immersed themselves in the New York dance scene and were introduced to postdisco, Latin freestyle, and electro. Power, Corruption & Lies was released March, 1983, a synthesizer-based outing and a dramatic change in sound from Joy Division and the preceding album. Starting from what earlier singles had hinted, this was where the band had found their footing, mixing early techno music with their earlier guitar-based sound, heavily inspired by acts like Kraftwerk and Giorgio Moroder. Even farther in this direction was the electronically sequenced, Falklands-themed, four-on-the-floor single "Blue Monday", which became the best-selling 12-inch single of all time.
The Low-Life album (1985) refined and sometimes mixed the two styles, brandishing "The Perfect Kiss" (the video for which was filmed by Jonathan Demme) and "Sub-culture". In February 1986, the soundtrack album to Pretty in Pink featuring "Shellshock" was released on A &M Records. The instrumental version of "Thieves Like Us" appeared in the film but did not make the soundtrack. Also, the instrumental "Elegia" is in the film and not on the soundtrack.
Brotherhood (1986) divided the two approaches onto separate album sides. The album notably featured "Bizarre Love Triangle" and "Angel Dust" (available elsewhere under the guise of "Evil Dust"), a track which marries a synth break beat with Low-Life era guitar effects. While New Order toured Nort
h America with friends Echo & The Bunnymen, the summer of 1987 saw the release of the compilation Substance that featured the new single "True Faith". Substance was an important album in terms of collecting the group's singles (in the 12" format) onto CD for the first time and featured two new versions of "Temptation" and "Confusion", respectively entitled "Temptation '87" and "Confusion '87". A second disc featured several of the B-sides from the singles on the first disc as well as additional A-sides "Procession" and "Murder" and another new song "1963". The album's main single "True Faith", with its surreal video, became a hit on MTV and the band's first American top 40 hit.
Republic, released around the world in 1993, was the band's first album release since parting company with the now defunct Factory Records. It featured an ultimately polished, inoffensive sound, but with a sombre edge. The release spawned the singles "Regret" (their highest charting single in the
US), "Ruined in a Day", "World" and "Spooky". Following the release of Republic, the band put New Order on hold, whilst each member continued on with their own side-projects: Sumner once again teamed up with Johnny Marr in Electronic for Raise the Pressure. Karl Bartos (formerly of Kraftwerk) also a
ssisted with this record. Sumner also collaborated with the Chemical Brothers on a track from their album Surrender, "Out Of Control"; Hook formed the band Monaco with former Revenge member David Potts; and Morris and Gilbert formed the aptly named The Other Two. The band has often been acclaimed b
y fans, critics and other musicians as a highly influential force in the alternative rock and dance music scenes over the past 25 years.
