New Order In Session CD

Originally posted by Kevin Smith > Originally posted by Geri> So what’s the average price for a cd in the UK then? I received mine today from Amazon. Price of cd GBP 9.23 plus postage and vat, adding up to a total of GBP 13.37 = EUR 20.29. Average price of a new cd here is EUR 21.00 so it’s still short of that!> Wouldn't it be cheaper for you to buy online from CD-wow.com, or their Euro site. It must be cheaper than that and it is free postage.Same for the American poster, they have a US site as well, possibly Cd-wow.net. Use them, it's what they are there for. I don't remember the last time I bought a CD album in a shop

Thanks for the tip, I've had a look and placed my first order this morning. Two double cds for the grand total of GBP 15.98 and no postage! Catalogue isn't very big, but I'll keep an eye on it anyway. Now the waiting is to see what their delivery service is like. Not too good judging by previous comments made.

Yeah, that's the orchestra hit sample. Was on the seven inch and twelve inch versions from 1987, and every live version I've heard. It's integral to the chorus - filling the gap between vocal lines. New Order have used them loads, and loads of times (Bizarre Love Triangle, Round & Round, etc.). Don't see the problem, considering it was in the single version?

I know what you mean... it sounds really cheesy and SO dated! The sort of cheesy keyboard sound that you'd expect on some mullet rock heroes like Starship or something!

aha. i think were mixing up "do -do do's" so to speak

here goes:

and i was Touched "DO DO DO", "do do do do do do" by the hand of god, never knew it "DO DO DO" , "do do do do do do do"but of course i was.

i refer to the first "DO DO DO", and i think you refer to the "do do do do do do do"

this is really funny, and proberbally had to understand, but ive listened to the original, and the new version, and the glastonbury 87 concert verstion, and it has always been there, but a lot sharper, and better, in my opinion/

Okay... We're referring to the same bits: the orchestra hits, as commonly found on every keyboard since about 1983. An orchestra hit is litterally a sample of the very last note that an orchestra plays at the end crescendo of a performance. Sample that single note with it's natural ambience, then play it on different notes (namely D and C, then D again), you get the DO DO DO bit (can't believe I'm typind this). The other do do do do do do bits is a synth playing D D E F C A using a straightforward sounding synth patch. Granted, orchestra hits were done to death in the 80s (especially be the Pet Shop Boys), but I love 'em, and happen to think they need a resurgence in modern times!

Anyway, both bits have been on all the New Order versions over the years, and are an integral part of the song, fillin gin the gap between each line of vocals.

I think what you are referring to about how it sounds, is probably New Order using a different orchestra hit sample to that which featured on the earlier live versions or single mixes. I hear no difference, other than that the session versions sound a little 'drier' with no reverb or effects applied to it.

Anyway, I think it belongs in the track.

Enough, already.

Andy.

I now have a copy.

I like it because it sound so much like No in 98 at Reading. Nuff said.

Liked the go at Transmisssion but it lacked any oomph. I think Barney just got bored of it towards the end. Were they hiding Phil on that one as he was allowed to lurk at the back or was prowse just obsessed with barney's nostril.

Yep. Put it on the shelf now.

Mmmn. :bag:

Finally got my copy today! As you know, Germany was a bit late with the release date, so officially TODAY is the day. Thanks to Amazon Germany who shipped mine already on saturday i still listen to it at 11 o'clock in the morning with two bottles of beck's beer. I owned the mp3's before, but i MUST say it's a completely different experience now! Without any "distorting" noise from the radio and mastered i even tend to like "Slow Jam" and "Close Range"... great versions! Still my favourite, the immortal "Your Silent Face". A must-have... Cheers! :beer2:

does anybody know "Seachange" ??? it's the second CD i ordered...

Did it have a hidden version of Love Vigilantes though Marco ?

...not found yet :bag:

but...whose dog is it in the Transmission-Video?

Dog ? Thought that was only in Touched By The Hound Of God ?

Fookin' double posts......

Three times is just annoying.....like watching the City, same shite every time !

By far the worst 'joke' on NOOL this year!

Ja, the one lying next to the drum-kit...the bark vigilante... must be deaf then...

That's not a dog !

Bobby Gillespie mixed the John Peel session (first five tracks) and added backing vocals to 'True Faith'. Don't think he's on the other tracks (the 'sha la la la la' bits on 'Paradise' being samples, as they are also on the 3 16 live version). He's now't to do with the 2001 Lamacq tracks, so yep, it's another error!
