Favourite New Order Press articles. — Forum Archive

Got any memories of reading magazine or newspaper articles? Any faves?

I have a deep memory of buying the newly released Touched By The Hand Of God 12" in my lunchbreak at school and also buying that weeks NME. It featured Peter Hook on the cover (19/26 December '87). Fantastic article with pictures of Hook And Sumner 'taking it to the bridge' in Dusseldorf, Germany. Classic stuff!

The combination of listening to the record and reading the article, perched on the edge of my bed will stay with me forever.

Twas Januaary 1989 when John & Lorraine told me they had got me a ticket to see New Order at the NEC in March, I was already well into the Order at the tender age of 14. I always scoured the newsagents evry Wednesday for just a glimpse of the words New Order on the front of Sounds, MM or the NME. I think it was my birthday week, when New Order were in the NME, it was a 4 page interview, talking about Gmex 88 and the up and coming tour, and I'm sure Barney referred that he was like a satellite picking up people's thoughts....that was how he wrote songs :lol: This ideal of collecting everything with New Order in it continues to this day, I even had to get Rocket Mick to send me the Big Issue down from Manchester in 2001, cos New Order were on the front, and it was only available in the North! I have hundreds of cuttings safely stored away in a box, every now and then I go through the interviews. Touched indeedy :nod:

I remember it well. Another great interview. Bernard; "it's like the music doesn't belong to me - it just comes to me like I've got an aerial in my brain." :laugh: This is taken from the 3 December '88 interview Bernard did for MM, where he was on the cover. (The first Technique promotional interview). The NME article featured the whole band and was in two parts - 'Perfecting The Technique', 28 January - 4 February '89. Sounds seemed to fare less well in the poaching New Order stakes, but I have no bad words to say against them, 'cos they interviewed me for an article of NO fans, and promoted Paradise, 8 December '90.

Expect to see Julio post this link as "his" at either WIM or JD Central within 24 hrs... Yeah. Credit where credit's due. Spotnick was the first one to provide the link on a DoN's thread about the Wayback Machine.

I recall myself printing half of the articles when this website was still up. And the other half when Nicolas posted the waybacked link. Quality stuff indeed.
