New Order: Singles
Another ‘Best Of’? Are they taking the piss or what? Currently, New Order have ‘Substance’, ‘The Best Of New Order’, ‘The Rest Of New Order’, the four-CD ‘Retro’ box-set and an American import called ‘International’ all...
New Order: Waiting For The Siren's Call
One hesitates to fire slingshots at giants, but this is... half-decent at best, a perfunctory doodle of Hooky bass and big, bright synth washes from a band who we love for their ecstatic-with-a-capital-E masterpieces. Like Echo & The Bunnymen...
New Order : Waiting For The Sirens’ Call
Godlike or Clodlike? Electropunk Vikings kicking the footlights into the front row of the NME Awards or huffing old codgers strapping their man jugs into manky cagoules like the fellas off Last Of The Sumner Wine? It’s a thin line between loved...
New Order : Retro
Perverse old bastards, New Order . How fitting that a grandiose retrospective of their career should be contrary, frustrating, a bit of a cock-up and shot through with a genius that seems more accidental than designed. How typical that 'Retro'...

New Order : Here To Stay
You’d have thought, given a proposition as drearily 1996 as The Chemical Brothers producing New Order , that someone, somewhere would have pulled their creative finger out, but ‘Will This Do?’ from the '24 Hour Party People' soundtrack is...
New Order : Sydney Hordern Pavilion
Twenty-five years on, and Bernard Sumner still can't dance. As he hugs his guitar through '60 Miles An Hour', it's like watching your dad attempting to march like Ian Brown and scissor kick like Fran Healy, all in one. And there in lies the...
New Order : 60 Miles An Hour
Once the most enigmatic and otherworldly band in pop, the main mystery about New Order now centres around how Stephen managed to end up being the coolest. On '60 Miles An Hour', another track from their woefully disappointing comeback album 'Get...
New Order : London Brixton Academy
The possibilities are stark indeed. That Manchester's infamous New Order would return as a cabaret act; a glorified karaoke mirror-image of their past; or worse, to indifference and irrelevance. Thank heavens then, that 25 years after Warsaw's...
