60 Miles An Hour Reviews...

Well, Nic, since it's not being released in the U.S., someone else will have to provide the chart info. But I don't expect anything from it chart-wise.

Charts out at the end of the week here. Expect 20s. As for the single, the radio edit's pretty cack, Sabotage is good, and the remixes aren't bad in their own right butbare little resemblance to NO. Thhe Superman Lovers mix is particuarly bad though.

Hi Nicolas!

Well, i guess there's a worldwide confusion going on about that release...

In Germany, it seems that there's is going to be only one CD of "60 miles an hour"! check www.wea.de for info! You can also find a scan of the second cover there! It seems that the german record company hestitates to release both CD's so the tracklisting of the german single is:

1. 60 mph (radio edit)
2. 60 mph (supermenlovers remix)
3. someone like you (funk d'avoid remix)

Pretty poor that there's no "sabotage". Release should be on monday (just like in the UK) but i checked nearly every record store in Frankfurt the last two days...but couldn't find any CD....

damn record company policy :evil: would've been a good salespusher after these great concerts in germany....

by the way...there's another link to the Cologne-webcast on www.wea.de !!!

cheers. ;)

...now the final question is:

what's the first and what's the second cover ???

Hm...;)

Reviews in the UK have been fairly mediocre.The usual "New Order going through the motions" stuff. A second rate Crystal etc... Call it lazy journalism.

That Superman Lovers mix is fucking awful.I mean,how bad can things be to get these sad hapless fuckwits to do a half decent mix.My cat could do better.

Thanx a lot, Marco ! I'm watching it right now !

Originally posted by Nicolas LeBlanc I'm a little shocked I didn't see any review of the single yet.. are you all sleeping? or did I miss it?Hope I can read some to see if it's worth buying it as an import, if the mixes are any good!

All the mixes are absolute shite...though I didn't expect anything less. Sabotage is pretty mediocre as well and 60MPH doesn't sound like a single to me. Surely someone could have done a decent mix of SLY - do these remixers get paid for this garbage?

Actually I'm now pretty bored of Getting Things Ready. Crystal, Turn My Feet, Someone Like Geoff and Behind Closed Doors are the only ones I think I'll continue to listen to for now. The rest I can take or leave.

Hi there!

I finally got my two CD-singles of "60 mph".

well, what to say? the radio edit sounds terribly butchered, the album-version is much better. "Sabotage", great tune, almost too good to waste it as a b-side. And the remixes...pure crap to me. Who needs that??? Why didn't they release only one CD-single backed with "Sabotage" and "Player in the League" ???

i guess that question will never be answered...

cheers ;)

... if the question is answered there better be a bloody good excuse.

How could you tell?

Nevermind mate, it's almost Christmas :\ohwell:

...if there hasn't been a "Sabotage" on one of the CD's i would say these two CD's are a waste of money.

(never thought i'd say this about a new order release one day...)

Yup. Ruined in a day mixes were worse though. CD2 has no relation to NO whatsoever. It's only coz I reguarly rave to tunes like the 2nd mix by james holden, that I've got any time for that disc at all.

I completely agree with you, Marco.

So do I... in fact, I haven't even bought them, any of them. Sick and tired of wasting money on re-mixes. Really, why buy 60MPH?... for a radio edit?... oh well.

Quite depressing. The collections slipping, wonder what that's down to?

The only reason to buy either one, Huntsy, is for Sabotage, which is marginally better than Slow Jam.

A good moan to reach 1500 with then Hunto. Nice one.

If yuo dont get them One day you may regret not buying them though...Actually probably not.

Sabotage is worth a couple of quid though

As Patrick mentioned...the one and only reason to buy the single is definitely "Sabotage"...as sad as it sounds... :(

Well boys our friend Muffler wrote me the 'Sabotage' song a few months previous onto a CD... which surely leaves me in a pirate situation?... I guess a trip to the shops is in New Order... at least I'll have that comedy short they did for the 60MPH video. Utterly madenning these mixes... why don't they just put some songs out?... can't be that hard?

hey ho...just reached the 250's...

member with Technique :D

How do you manage to look like you've posted 23,000 yet only doing 250?... is it a known art form? ... either way good show.

Yes, it's only taken them eight very long years, Huntsy, it can't be that hard.
