New Order

Musical Group

English band formed from the remaining members of Joy Division after Ian Curtis's death, known for blending post-punk and electronic dance music; core early lineup included Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert.

Associated with Factory Records and the Manchester scene; "Blue Monday" is one of their most famous singles and has been described as the best-selling twelve-inch single. Peter Hook later left the band and there was a public dispute over the use of the New Order name.

Reviews on DeBaser highlight New Order's evolution from Joy Division into an influential synthpop/post-punk/dance act. Key studio albums (Power, Corruption & Lies; Low-Life; Technique) and the compilation Substance receive particular praise. Live reports underline strong performances and iconic songs like Blue Monday and True Faith. Some later records and lineup disputes generate mixed opinions.

For:Fans of post-punk, synthpop, 1980s Manchester scene, and readers of album/live reviews.

 The essence of New Order is here, along with the origins of much of the music produced in recent years.
