Some vague news for you....

The new (as yet unnamed) album will be released in february Produced not only by Street and Leckie, but also Franz F producer Tore Johansen. Some extra songs were produced by Kylie and Girls aloud producer Brian Higgins - which are likely to be B-sides.

And Moby has covered Temptation for his new LP

A Ouija board

Have just read this on teletext on Channel 4 (Page 351)here in the UK.

Yes it is on CHANNEL 4 TELETEXT.

.....Briggsy works for teletext......

If this is true,its fair to say we could be getting a single BEFORE christmas...

A rehash of Rocking Carol or Ode to Joy?

Tristan you avatar is just lovely

Managed to check teletext and as others said this info is there-which is good news,its not based on rumour. Its 100% certain that it`ll be out February 2005. The infomation must have been sourced from London Records press office. Whats betting a new track will turn up on a free magazine cd (Q,Uncut etc) in January.

Wow, great news!

But what are those sarcasms about Christmas carols? I wouldn't mind NO perfomring "Blue Christmas" or "Santa Claus...". Actually I even think that a song like "Little Saint Nick" would fit them. C'mon, boys!

Tore Johansson as in the guy from the Cardigans?

Hey, if they release it in the notoriously dead week just after Christmas, and all us obsessives go out and buy it (each version, remembering to buy separately otherwise it only registers as one, or something like that)...number one!

But more likely it'll be two weeks before the album, because that's what seems to happen with virtually every single trailing an album these days.

Thank you

Wow, a New Order release in February is great news, and I'm hoping a single will be released sometime 'round New Years.

great news - should wake this place up a bit :)

not for much longer thankfully.

But yes, they did a photoshoot at the office next to Teletext Tuesday (which I spent about 5 hours watching as I was so bored here - didn't even have to leave my seat) and the music journo here had a quick word with them - so it should be accurate

Didn't actually get the chance to speak to them myself, as they were still doing the shoot by the time I went home - and it was too cold to hang around to try and have a word - and I'd have looked a bit sad...

Are we getting the near-ritualistic "secret" warm-up show this time around??? Just before Xmas would be nice......

If we only have four months until the new cd, Then we should be able to download it by now :D

I think we had Crystal about 6 months before Get Ready

Is no-one else concerned about the sheer volume of external influences who have had their grubby little mitts all over the knobs and dials for this one?

Sounds like we might be in for a very patchy affair to me.

This is brilliant news. A new single and album early next year plus the possibility of a tour, it's all getting exciting now. Cannot waitXxxx

So if the album is released in Feb,it`ll be reviewed in Januarys editions of music mags-which are released 3rd week of previous month,ie: Jan 05 will be released around Monday 20th Dec. So will we know the title,track listing and what the artwork looks like before christmas?

I already DO!They are GREAT............ Seriously this ain't long of though so better start saving.I do get a LITTLE excited at these times which ain't good for an old man like me.Better get back to reading my SAVILLE book.And ponder just how much i really LOVE the middle of GATEFOLD SUBSTANCE.Remember when i got the DJ mix of ROUND and Round one XMAS.Stopped me playing with the wrapping paper that did.......... Rocket Mick FADED MEMORY

Just when I thought my CD wish-list couldn't possibly get any longer, along comes another one! I reckon this'll be one of the biggies of 2005 for me, assuming the release plans aren't changed. Time to start saving, methinks.
