OFFICIAL ALBUM RELEASE DATE -- MARCH 28TH 2005

My birthday!

2 weeks to the day after mine

Can't say i'm pleased but at least we know where we stand

Let the countdown commence

2004???? Past tense.

I don't normally go to the home page so this news came as a pleasant surprise. Nice to have an official release date. New single in the New Year, album to follow, and a few gigs in the pipeline hopefully. Roll on 2005.

?

We`ll be waiting till the first week of March for the single then,not very soon really.

No doubt it will appear on every peer to peer site by the end of January with different song titles etc.

Hopefully they will put some video on the proper disc so that people don't just get the blag copies.

Dave

Better start saving the cent now!:D

Hurrah, it is great to have a date to count down to now!

Will that mean summer tour dates, or is it too late for that?

That's great news!!! It's getting close!

Now only let's hope that a single will be released...uhm...before Xmas???

March 28,It can't come soon enough.

Nice way to start the day...

I can't wait!!

I'm a little surprised that no leaks of this album have turned up on the internet yet.

waheeeyyyyyyyy!

cant wait! will have to buy it out of my dole (welfare)money

regards

Someone seriously needs to tell them not to use the word "sugarcane" any where near the new album!! Damn, what a shitty name for a song or album.

New Order is my life. Thank you.

Woohoo!! Can't wait until March, maybe longer for us folks in USA. Hope it's better than "Get Ready" and wishing it great market success and satisfying all the fans at the same time.

One month and two days after my birthday!

Excellent news! Yet another addition to my already-way-too-long CD wants list. Better start saving now, methinks!

Well they did say they would release on my birthday so 28th ain't too far from THE 25 MARCH.I read this on WORLD IN MOTION yesterday but NO ONE had mentioned this so did not want to build my hopes up.It will be called ROCKET-OUT OF THIS WORLD. Cool.

great news:D

hopefully a tour soon after the new realease:D

Yep, I totally agree with you. But I'm very glad about the news. It's a nice start of the day :)

British Summer time begins Sunday March 27th (change clocks Saturday night 26th) and New Order album the day after.Cool!.Ah ... the sound of Spring!:)

News to me.

I'd expect Mar 29th for the new one, always a Tuesday here in US of A.

Cheers Nicos - that is great news !!!

Don't worry about the rubbish seasons gag - you can be forgiven for being a bit giddy today.

A new Neworder album in May 2005 - fantastic

I just wrote "Whoop!" on the proper day of the 2005 calendar. Hopefully they keep moving in the Here to Stay direction---then back into sequencerland!

Re US release date - can't we in the States just pre-order the album from amazon.co.uk and have them ship here?

SWEET!!!!! I hope they tour close to me again! It's been a long time! (August '01)

God bless Serbia-the land of piracy. It will be here before March 28th

Seb:

THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE SPIDER IN VAIN.

Next time, I shall not have mercy of your poor soul.

Originally posted by NObabe God bless Serbia-the land of piracy. It will be here before March 28th

Yep, just like I got "Get Ready" in Russia three weeks before the English release :D I couldn't believe it. Well I had to buy it... what else to do, ha :)

And I got the "24 Hour Party People" DVD a bit later after it came out in English cinemas

Can't wait... I'm sure everyone has been posting about the posibility of a U.S. tour so, I'm just goign to sit back patiently and wait. Love this site...Hell... Love New Order and Joy Division.

Question: I'm really not a big Gwen Steffani fan but I heard she covered a New Order song. Which one did she cover?
Thanks

A live gig or two would be good

I wonder if G. Gilbert will play on this new release.

I've already booked a couple of tickets for the New Order gig next year:)

The only problem is that is in my head, I have no idea where and if they are touring anywhere. I assume they will play Manchester but if they don't I am willing to travel anywhere in the UK and possibly Europe.

I've been waiting to see New Order live for ages now.

JD's? Well, I don't expect Ian to put anything on the table.

No silly..."Barney & the JD's" was an early working title proposal for the name of the band after Ian died.

I think a few of the different choices were (Help me out here fellas):

Barney & the JD's Black September Witch Doctors of Zimbabwe....to name a few...

Hahaha good one. I noticed your I think they call it a tag, was the cover to Blue Mon. I had a question about that record a friend of mine keeps arguing with me.

1. was it and still is the Number #1 selling 12" single in the UK?

2. The producer Quincy Jones is the QJ that produced Michael Jackson's Thriller?

3. Also the inner album sleeve is white (special kind of paper real slick like.) Did it ever come in Black?

Thanks for answering a newbies question.

P.s. I hope my tag aka David Carruso doesn't offend anyone.

1.Yes (biggest ever 12" seller in the orld ,history.universe....)

2.Yes

3.You mean the 12" inner sleeve?.Yes it came in shiny black.

OK, OK, CHUNKS, you win! Satisfied?

Originally posted by NObabe OK, OK, CHUNKS, you win! Satisfied?

Not yet....

The key question, is when will it be released in Japan. They usually get an extra track and a lyric sheet!

2.Yes

3.You mean the 12" inner sleeve?.Yes it came in shiny black.

2. Though QJ didn't produce/remix BM83, which I pressume is the version discussed. QJ is responsible for BM88 though...

3. And yellow for the IT release, through it may not have been die-cut. Also, the inner part is silver on non-die-cut sleeves, but I can't remember if there ever was a silver inner sleeve.

A little BM history at the New Order Discography.

It was "Stevie and the JDs", a name by which Wilson had introduced them at the 3rd night at the Moonlight Club in April 1980. I've never heard the "Black September" one before, I must admit.

Not long to go. It all seems real now peeps

Originally posted by oldmonkey I've never heard the "Black September" one before, I must admit.

although if you're going to name your band after a terrorist organization, that would be the one to go with, i'd say.

Does anyone know about a tour here in the states,or am i going back to europe to see the boys again?:)

Did Gillian take a break from this cd also,and if so when is she coming back? Somebody help me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! You've made the stereotypical north-americans-first-post!

Can't help you with the US tour question but as far as I know, Gillian did take a break from this CD as well. It's looking doubtful that she's coming back; she's decided to put her family first. BTW, ignore the "stereotypical North American's first post" comments; some of the people here have a slightly weird sense of humour sometimes.

my gf and i are planning to to the uk later next year if we can get some dates up for some shows im sure ill be leaving sooner

How is it weird? 50% of all Americans who come on here ask when they're touring as their first post, most of them never to return again...

Cant we have some kind of clock counting down to release date in the corner of the screen Nic? I know i am incredible sad!

Originally posted by SteveOne Cant we have some kind of clock counting down to release date in the corner of the screen Nic? I know i am incredible sad!

I agree with this idea! I know it's New Order, but Nick, make a littly magic here... even if on March 28th whatsoever there'll be no release, the counter would count positively... hm... I got confused... Well you're the master :)

Oooooooohhh...A NO ticker! Of course you that once you put one up here on the site Spotty, Ol' Doctor Murphy is gonna pay a visit with his book o laws and mess everything up!

Sunshine Valley Dance- Wasn't that another name they were going to use after Ian died?

Also, I could be wrong- but wasn't their first gig as New Order in September , 1980 at Maxwells in Hoboken, New Jersey?

Kind of ironic , since they haven't played on the East Coast in the U.S. in 11 years.

And the other 50% of all non-Americans wait for someone to ask when the next NO tour is, just so they can correct them.

Can't help it if some peeps never seen NO live.

I still say Temptation is the best NO song. and Radio Transmission best JD song.

Well a source previously close to the band (whose name escapes me at present, whoops) assured us all that the name New Order had been decided long before the debut appearance at the Beach Club in the Arndale.

.....bit slow reacting to this news but i've been ill. A lot may happen between now and then but at least there's something to look forward to.

March 28th eh? Even though that's only a few months off, it can't come any sooner! Really curious as what the sound will be like, i.e., Get Ready-ish? At this point, I won't be picky (I say this now...)! Can't wait for the single though.

I've read that it's going to be closer to the sound of Technique.

why, why, why would warners wait 6 months to release Get Ready? It makes no sense from a marketing perspective, they should release it at the same time as everywhere else so they can take advantage of the publicity.

I hope they don't do the same thing with the new album.

And I pray to god they don't call the album 'Sugarcane'...

Sugarcane is one of our major crops here,doubtful title,however their trend of titles [album] shows one word titles,it might be a work in progress and pretty fluid.I'd really hate to be under that kind of pressure,even with a fan base that will buy it no matter what,to the general public it could make it or break it.
