Received this from Mac Quayle earlier today, regarding his work on Guilt is a Useless Emotion :
Hi Seb,Thanks for your email. The info on the site is not totally correct, I actually produced a version of Guilt with the band which is being included on the US release as a bonus track. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about it.Thanks,Mac
Therefore, use this thread to ask your questions and I will relay them to him -- although he might even drop by and answer them himself. 
Just as an FYI, Mac also contributed to the Joy Division tribute album "Means to an End: The Music of Joy Division", and Electronic's "Twisted Tenderness" (keyboards/programming on 'Breakdown', 'Can't Find My Way Home' and 'Twisted Tenderness'), so I suppose you could say he is a bit of a fan!
l8rs,
Nick ;)
So, how much of a differnce can we expect? What are the stand out differences? New vocals sections? More guitar maybe? Just basic curiousity.
Since I also had contact with Mac, I turned over this "duty" to Sébastien to gather question, so don't ask 'em in the other thread, go on here!
Thanks.
Can you tell us about the evolution of Guilt is a Useless Emotion? I read somewhere that it was a long process that went several different directions. When did you work on it and when did Stuart Price work on it? How does your mix sound compared to his?
Can you offer any insight into the way New Order work in the studio? Specifically regarding their creative process, personalities, attributes, etc.
Can you tell us what exactly you have worked on with NO in the past, your discography mentions involvement on remixes of Love Will Tear Us Apart, 1963, Confusion as well as tracks with Electronic...
It sounds like you were involved in the some really exciting phases of dance music, it must have been awesome working NYC in the late 80s with Arthur Baker, Morales, Vega, etc.
:\pimp3:
Here's a question (more to the record label/band, really):
Is this US bonus track going to be an additional track on a future CD single in the UK (along with the Japanese bonus track version of Krafty), or am I going to have to buy 'Waiting For The Sirens' Call' in three different versions at vast expense to keep my New Order collection complete???
