Title Confirmed: Waiting For The Sirens Call + First Single March 7th.

Sounds ok with me, now bring on March.

Brilliant and i don't like ''''' anyway.Now where in LONDON is this being played?

Is it "A" siren's call or "THE" siren's call?

Originally posted by Spotnick > Originally posted by ShugZV© Still not keen on the album title. And a "provisional" release date for the single?Yep, forever the pessimist......can't wait though;)

They don't even know which song it will be, so give them a break :p They should drop the P O P STONED It's New Order.. the title should be "postponed" ;)

i think i like "waiting for a silent call" better

Originally posted by Spotnick > Originally posted by Patrick> Is it "A" siren's call or "THE" siren's call?

Waiting For The Sirens Call, apparently, I have fooked up everywhere, thanks for noticing ;)

That makes more sense in terms of there being a disagreement about where to put the apostrophe. With "a siren's call" there is only one possible place to put it.

...nobody knows, what the future brings... THE CYBERNETICS.

...but we hope, aren't we all NEW ORDER high-pregnant, are we ???...

The Saviour.

hey Spotnick, in the main article you wrote the title out to be "Waiting Waiting for the Sirens Call" (the word "Waiting" shows up twice). sorry about being nitpicky :D

i feel you there. for the past two days i've been getting sick and praying that it isn't the flu. fever, increased heart rate, sore throat, runny and stuff nose... the works.

in any case, this news brightened up my day a bit. i can only pray for a US tour to support this record... but that may be wishful thinking.

Hey you reckon these guys will play the States? Come on New Order, you guys rock!

Its an unusual title for a new order,but it also says on teletext the phil has been confirmed as a full time member. so,its a new new order-this could be the third stage of the group.

How did they know March 14 was my birthday? :D

Are you serious? Can you please put the whole text for us, Nick. I think people are interested in some official statement about Phil's status in the band.

Eeek...sounds like a U2 album title! Maybe it is still the work in progress title and at the press release we'll get a shorter snappier one.

I just can't believe they've left the apostrophe out!

A very different style of naming things for New Order. I hope the album is as interesting

:( I totally agree. And you know what? All these odd things with titles ("Get Ready" & the new one) started to happen after Rob Gretton's death... Isn't there something to think of?

Originally posted by oldmonkey Hey you reckon these guys will play the States? Come on New Order, you guys rock!

dude. you are so totally right, man.

it sounds better than "Waiting for a silent call" "Waiting for the sirens call" should really have an apostrophe as mentioned, the last album was "Get Ready" and now it's "Waiting for the sirens call" maybe a transitional concept.....It reminds me something that would be in the movie "Spinal Tap"

Waiting For The Sirens Call...

...Ewwwwwwwww.

Originally posted by Spotnick Gee... how many people yelled when they first heard the titles "Technique" and "Republic" Who cares about the title...

Its too damn long. At least Technique, Republic and Get Ready are OK lenghts

Heres better it ends up being called Sirens, or Sirens Call.

Oh well... nobody likes the title? Might as well scrap the whole thing then.

Originally posted by Spotnick Gee... how many people yelled when they first heard the titles "Technique" and "Republic" Who cares about the title...

Hm- yeah, you're right.

I just hope that the album is as good, if not better than "Get Ready". Additionally, I'm really, really curious as to what Saville Associates are going to come up with for the cover design...

Thought it was gonna be called Atlantic.

I really like the title - quite 'arty' sounding - particularly if you take 'siren' to mean those mythological greek women or winged creatures which lured sailors to their death. (rather than the noise a police car emits)..

talking shite again......

Originally posted by PHD Thought it was gonna be called Atlantic.

There aren't any sirens in the atlantic, are there?

Silent Call was more enigmatic and would have made a good final album title...

Still who cares what its called as long as the songs are cracking

Pretty obvious it's all about ambulances and lanes inhabited by artists.....

I'm gonna say this only once. I don't give a damn about the album title. Period.

Originally posted by NObabe I'm gonna say this only once. I don't give a damn about the album title. Period.

Guessed something was bugging you. You should be listening to the Inspiral Carpets, they know how it feels!

Well when they named the Electronic album Barney was quoted as saying when asked why the title name "well they had to call us something!" So he obviously wasnt too bothered by titles, and I cant imagine the other members of the band racking their brains over a title so it was most likely decided for them and they gave it the nod (or shrug of the shoulders more likely!)

sirens call is a 17 year old lesbian , who posts daily at www.oasismag.com/journal/4280 .

I post this only as a concerned citizen , I know that nool is home to some sensitive types , I dont want any of our more impressionable nools looking at these girl on girl avatars and going into shock, just because they googled the new albums title .

Hopefully miss sirens call will be amenable to those nools who wish to discuss the new album after inadvertantly arriving at her journal .

well, at least we finally know who Gwen Stefani asks what they are waiting for. And their answer is apparently the sirens call. :)

thanks lads , this research lark , how does one get a job ?

Jarvo if this young lady starts to receive topics for discussion along the lines of ... 'Client , which one would you .... ? ' , I would stake shuglets pocket money on it being you sir ;)

happy new year to one and all and happy birthday for today to Syd B

The album title brings up a rather disturbing page on google

http://www.webenet.net/~thoffman/GLibrary/Library/Overland%20Special.htm

I wonder if she is a small lesbian goblin?

This is classic New Order: Five years spent writing the songs; five minutes spent choosing the title

Originally posted by Spotnick BTW, New Order are no longer on London Records.

The album will be released on WEA / Warner directly...

London are gone I think - Orbital self-published their last album, Holly Valance has gone quite (thank feck for that), amongst other London artists moving around.

It's all happening pretty fast now, isn't it??? Don't check things out for a couple of days and all this news breaks. The title's okay to me. I'm starting to wonder what the artwork will be like now....

Nice to see things finally starting to move along at a decent pace! Can't wait for this now! :D

Do you guys think New Order will ever play in Chicago again?

Originally posted by HOOKY DON'T FLY COACH! My guess would be NO...but you can never tell with the Order...we might just get lucky enough for them to do 10 cities like they did in 93...

Watch them book some inane places like Fresno, Omaha, Hartford and Tulsa.

Dunno whether this has been mentioned before, but apparently Lee Coombs has produced one of the tracks off the new album, according to this link here:

"Lee Coombs. Lee Coombs has been busy in the studio remixing for the likes of Paul Oakenfold and producing a new track by New Order, if anyone has listened to his mixes of ‘Crystal’ you’ll know what to expect. On top of that and a hectic Djing schedule he has also recently found time to complete a couple of collaborations with Meat Katie. Namely ‘Two Men On AS Trip’ on Finger Lickin and ‘HUM’ on Kingsize."

Oh, and one of the other acts on Finger Lickin' are called "Krafty Kuts"... Hmmm... :-p

l8rs,

Nick ;)

I like Phil alot more than Gillian, but I think thats mostly because the first time I saw Phil live was on the 5 11 dvd. First time with Gillian was on 3 16 where she messed up ceremony a tad, and I love the look Barney givers her, priceless. But i still died a little.

There you may have another reason she doesnt want to be in the band anymore - the number of times Barney has been nasty to her she probably is like fuck you!.Another example was an old gig Vienna 84 when Barney sarcastically said to her on stage "dont break ya fuckin back Gillian" .Bang out of order!

Tosh, Harry. And hand that badge back to 98 before he loses the plot!

Originally posted by Shreyas Rana Do you guys think New Order will ever play in Chicago again?

It's never been their happiest of hunting grounds. Three gigs scheduled there over the years (one of which got shifted to Hoffman Estates instead, 1987). The Metro 1983 show was a disaster apparently because the gear broke down, and the Bismarck 1985 show is just about an average one. Chances are that they wouldn't be automatically thinking of Chicago as one of their preferred locations. Depends on what scale the tour is really.

Originally posted by 5 8 6 i think i like "waiting for a silent call" better

Agreed. At least there was a touch of irony to that title.

Sorry, been reading this Michael Connelly book about this maverick cop called Harry Bosch, who nicks his boss Harvey "98" Pounds's badge after he gets suspended.....

im waiting for the album to be leaked sometime this month on some downloading client

congrats to the order for getting an album done so quickly

Have any of you FACTORY buffs noticed the release day of the radio single? 24 January (as in the movement of the 24th January)

Bugger the album, get out there and play some gigs

I just knew that was coming.

we shouldn't be complaining about the title 'krafty' from a band that brought us a song called 'rock the shack.' ;)

Originally posted by AgentWood we shouldn't be complaining about the title 'krafty' from a band that brought us a song called 'rock the shack.' ;)

Sorry, it just reminds me of the Beastie Boys, and I can just picture New Order reinventing themselves as some sort of bad techno-ish shite with Barney rapping over the top....no wait, that was Republic.

Because Rob G kept N.O. on the straight and narrow....with the death of Rob...things and a guiding hand that N.O. a semi-known pleasure is starting to spin out of control with the Big Guys (Time-Warner/Qwest/London/Whatever) in control, I am afraid they will be marketed without any thought of what their history was and is....

For those not familiar with Greek ledgends, or Homers epos. The Sirens (females) called unwary seafares to their death, with their call. Sailers couldn't resist their call and crashed their boats on the Siren's island. The only one to ever hear their call and survive was Odysius (on his way back home from Troy). He had his crew cover their ears so they couldn't hear and himself bound to the mast of his ship.

Hope this helps. Probably not. Barney likes to sail his boat doesn't he.

These days however Siren Call just means that men are lead to their doom by evil/bad women. Waiting for such a call probably just means that the Order haven't given up being rock n roll rebels. That's if I'm not reading too much into this.

I like Atlantic better as a title. Be nice to hear something new from them, though.

I'm not sure that Rob kept them on the straight and narrow. He kept them on the contrary, but I wouldn't exactly call things like the Hacienda or Dry Bar the straight and narrow!

There's news on NME.com, but looks like they've lifted it straight off this site. However it does promise more info in the new NME (out in London area today and everywhere else UK tomorrow). Anyone in London who can take a look today?

I'll get one on the way home and post it up here later on.

From NME

NEW ORDER have unveiled further details of their forthcoming studio album.

The LP, ‘Waiting For The Sirens Call’, is set to be released on March 28 via Warner Music and will be preceded by a new single 'Krafty' two weeks before.

Other song titles slated to feature on the album, which signals a return to the band’s dance period in the late 1980s, include ‘Jetstream’ and ‘Sugarcane’.

The LP, which was recorded in Bath, has been co-produced by veterans Stephen Street and John Leckie.

Guitarist Phil Cunningham has also replaced keyboardist Gillian Gilbert as a full time member of the Manchester band.

Cunningham, who previously performed with New Order singer Bernard Sumner in Electronic, filled in for Gilbert during the group’s last tour in 2001/2002.

At the time the former keyboardist was forced to pull out so that she could care for her ill daughter.

For the full exclusive low-down on New Order’s new album. check this week’s NME, out today (January 11).

Who cares about the length of the album name???!!! Its New Order for cryin' out loud!!!! I like it. If its 'supposed' to be like Technique, with dance grooves and electronic disco(that is what I have heard), then 'Waiting For the Sirens Call' is a perfect name. You Brits are so uptight. I'm just waiting for them to hit the states(which won't happen) but maybe since I am in NYC, they'll play here. I think I may be one of two Americans on this website.
Question: Did anyone catch the fact that 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' is up for a Brit Award?? I'm sure you all know this but why is it in a category with Robbie Williams' 'Angels'? That is an insult. -Ned

Worried about an awards ceremony voted for by a bunch of ignorant apes?? You Americans are so uptight! :p

Fook me this must be a spoof. Coming on here, insulting the hardcore and calling the shots! The real insult (besides your being able to breathe) is that some Will Young B-side is deemed worthy of inclusion in a poll with LWTUA. The Brits is about as meaningful as a refried beans-induced fart.

Your funny. I didn't mean it as an insult, but more of a joke. Sorry to offend. I am really insulted that LWTUA is in the same category as all of those songs. Will Young?? Also, you really think that I'm breathing is a bad thing??? Thanks. I was just stating my opinion. :(

shalom bro, it'll be a good album whatever it's called, unless they chant the title as backing vocals throughout every track!

cheers. Do you think they will play any festivals this year?? I would like to travel to the UK this year to see them. It might be tough for me but I would love to see them live. Unfortunately, when they were performing in the Area:One festival a few years back, they didn't hit the east coast so it was a bummer. They are one band I would like to see before I die. I've been listening to a lot of NO live concerts. They sound great. On a side note, can't wait to see Ian Brown here at the end of Feb.

If I was a betting man, and I am, I'd put a few gold coins with the queen's head on on them playing half a dozen of the European festivals this summer, plus a few UK gigs as well in the Spring and later in the year once the festival season is out of the way. Couldn't honestly say about the US though, hope so, as despite having seen them play over 50 times I've never seen them in the States.

its about time, ive been waiting 4 years lol

can't wait till MARCH!!!!

Has anyone heard if there will be REMIXES on the single?

Almost certainly will be.

I wonder why Gillian is out of the band? Is it because she has to take care of Stephen and her's sick daughter? Was it something she wanted to do? I will miss her in the band.

changed it to 100 is this ok?

I've changed it to 75. Sorry again.

Personally I think it's an excellent avatar... the bigger the better! :D

Anyway... pleased with what I'm hearing about the new album... a mixture of dance & guitar based tracks isn't bad at all. Do you reckon the group listen to our whining every now and then??

Here in Finland they've already managed to rename the first single as Kranky.

It's from "Session 9" isn't it ??? Fine movie !!! Sorry for going off-topic...
