I think the New Order version of Isolation is infinitely better than the Joy Div version. But then technology has moved on 20+ years since!

You wouldn't have thought so listening to Your Silent Face!

Then again, I like it exactly the way it is.

Originally posted by Allen Jarvis I used to own a Bundeswehr vest! Very cool. Remember Hooky used to wear one a lot too. He used to have that t-shirt which also read "Kill Them All, Let God Sort 'Em Out". I bought one of those from an Army surplus store. How sad.

I bought one of these last week...

See ?

You seem to all agree on what I was trying to plea for in an older thread where I was hoping for New Order to play more songs, and to RE-WORK a lot of them, adding a new edge to them.

I think Bizarre Love Triangle could use to ve revamped a little. I would be curious to see what the Pet Shop Boys would do with it, granted that they did a fantastic rework job of some of their older songs for their Nightlife Tour (anyone who heard the versions of West End Girls, Only The Wind and Can You Forgive Her, for instance, will know what I mean).

I would like them to keep the full intro of the 12" version of BLT, especially the part where you can hear the instrumental melody going before Barney starts to sing -- it brings everything up into some sort of climax.

And they could add a very techno/acid part right in the middle or at some point in the song, like, once again, the PSB have done for BEING BORING.

And Blue Monday would be a fantastic opportunity for anyone who would do some re-work there as well. For some reason, they've been playing one of the most boring versions of that song I've heard in their whole career.

But I DO like their actual version of Touched By The Hand of God, though... that techno bassline is great!

Seb.
