The US promo 12" for TPK has the video version. Worth owning.

more on topic, however, is that Bill Paxton in that video?
― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Thursday, 30 May 2013 04:16 (ten years ago) link
Perfect Kiss will be number one, making the top three just about spot on.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 30 May 2013 04:18 (ten years ago) link
Yes, it is Bill Paxton

I'm going to cry anyway I love this video so much. They used to play it on the giant video screen at the club I went to when I was a kid. Eleven minutes of pure joy.

Expect the Factory 5 to be 1-5 but I'm curious about the order. Technique at 1 is a lock but the rest could be any order.
― brotherlovesdub, Thursday, 30 May 2013 05:05 (ten years ago) link
Might Republic not be higher than Brotherhood? Also interested to see where Substance fits in with the actual studio albums. Technique should be number one.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 30 May 2013 05:07 (ten years ago) link
i have just seen the pictures that Millsner has done for us for tomorrow's half of the poll. all i can say is that we are in for a serious treat.

you're too kind!
very excited for the track results, anyway. some of the placings really threw me.

I didn't include it on my ballot because I don't consider it an album but there are a few songs on there that are worth hearing.

Didn't know this before yesterday, but that cover is a 3x3 pixel version of the WFTSC single art:

Yeah, originally done for a magazine, then expanded to include the full discography. Think it was available as a poster for a limited time as well.

The album sounds merely okay to my ears these days, but I never had a problem with Dracula's Castle.
― Millsner, Thursday, 30 May 2013 06:15 (ten years ago) link
THEORY:
Since the results have been reverse-chronological so far, Movement is a shoe-in for #1 :)
― Millsner, Thursday, 30 May 2013 06:16 (ten years ago) link
I guess it's understandable that the albums they released 20-30 years after their first releases are ranked lowest but they're really great albums. Predictably, Republic will be next.
― brotherlovesdub, Thursday, 30 May 2013 06:18 (ten years ago) link
Movement at 3 or 4, imo. Either Low-Life or PCL at 2.
― brotherlovesdub, Thursday, 30 May 2013 06:19 (ten years ago) link
shoo-in, even.
I'd give Republic 60/40 odds over Brotherhood for being next. I always had the impression that the former has some real fans here.
― Millsner, Thursday, 30 May 2013 06:21 (ten years ago) link
BTW, if anyone has a copy of Get Ready or WFTSC on vinyl that they want to sell or trade, i'm interested.

It's a great compilation but it's not an album. It took me about 2 years of living with this compilation but eventually Disc 2 became my favorite. I've since had to buy a 2nd copy of disc 2. Would love one of the gatefold LPs. I have it on vinyl but not one of the gatefold versions.

I think Republic is the best collection of lyrics Bernard Sumner ever wrote. The mess with Factory provide some great content for him.
― brotherlovesdub, Thursday, 30 May 2013 07:20 (ten years ago) link
of course that is it for the night.
will start again when i wake up (boo).
― Bee OK, Thursday, 30 May 2013 07:49 (ten years ago) link
I think the top five might go,
5. Brotherhood4. Low-Life3. Movement2. Power, Corruption & Lies1. Technique
I would have liked to see Republic in the top five, it's their most underrated album.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 30 May 2013 08:38 (ten years ago) link
I'd have thought PCL for 'top', the rest, yes.

Sumner's best lyrics on the first Electronic album.

from what I've seen of the Brotherhood clips on YouTube from this era, Sumner acquits himself okay?

I love the early New Order live recordings/clips, where Barney looked like he (and the rest of them) wanted to be anywhere else but there, like the 1983 TOTP performance:

well, Sumner's had COVID twice, so maybe he has immunity.
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 19 April 2022 16:53 (two years ago) link
They've postponed twice already, once in 2020 and once in 2021. Fingers crossed for this time.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Tuesday, 19 April 2022 16:54 (two years ago) link
I think they have always been a very uneven band live. The first time I saw them was in 1985. They were simply brilliant, one of the three best shows I've ever seen. This is almost a perfect setlist:
New Order, August 16, 1985, Rainbow Music Hall, Denver, CO
SunriseThis Time of NightHurtThieves Like Us5 8 6Everything's Gone GreenThe VillageSubcultureDenialConfusionThe Perfect Kiss
Encore:CeremonyBlue Monday
Encore 2:Temptation
Saw them again the following year, and they were shit. Completely phoning it in. I almost took it personally.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Tuesday, 19 April 2022 18:50 (two years ago) link
I had tickets for the original Hollywood Bowl dates in 2020, not sure if I'm going to still go. I feel like I have seen them enough times now.
― Bee OK, Tuesday, 19 April 2022 18:57 (two years ago) link
I'm still planning to go. Also planning to see Peter Hook and the Light in June. Hoping I won't be too depressed by either event.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Tuesday, 19 April 2022 18:59 (two years ago) link
I saw them in 2019 they were great very professional.
