Most 'NEWorder' moment on the new album

Most of us have our copies for a few weeks now - or have heard it plenty of times, so what is your 'most No' moment on the album?

For me it's in Guilt is a Useless Emotion - the instrumental break after the second chorus (starts about 2mins 50sec) - Hookys bass storms over the top of a typically peculiar synth sound with enough percussion sounds to even keep me interested - then it changes & changes & changes - but somehow stays the same - like all the best NO songs.

(I'm looking forward to doing my 'mad uncle' dancing to this at niteclubs)

Anyone else want to share their favourites?

I like the intro to MN&D, the synth bass that kick in sound great load, I reckon it'll be a stormer live, if the sound crew get there act together and make sure it's punchy, in a similar vain, I always thought the drums could do with being a but punchier when they kick in on crystal.

title-track!

It's the bit after the second chorus in the title track that gets me - where the synth comes in over Hooky's fantastic bassline. That's a great NO moment.

Agreed about the intro to MN&D.

The instrumental break in 'Hey now' and the whole of the title track. The coda to 'Who's Joe' is excellent as well.

I agree with that about the 2nd chorus follow on.TIMELESS!

The whole of TURN

The 2nd verse of "Guilt" (because the 1st one has no Hooky bass), the chorus of "Morning" and the end of "Dracula"

Guilt, it reminds me of Jeff

WFTSC...I listened to the album High!!!

I'll never be more moved by another song on this album.

The best song from the last 3 New Order albums, Pure classical New Order

The electro-banjo on I Told You So, very reminiscent of my first New Order experience, experimental Perfect Kiss, frogs and all.

Most New Order moment on the album? probably the bit when they fail to release Turn as a single. That would be pure New Order...

turn hands down, especially the first :33 - but the whole of it

When Hooky comes in at WFTSC. First time I heard it it brought tears to my eyes since the previous two songs are not very NOish.

I agree completely; I tend to forget that New Order has always used fairly unorthodox synthesizer sounds and they always seem to use them to really great effect.

Specifically, my most NO moment is the instrumental break of "Turn"...Hooky's searching bassline, and those soaring, life affirming keyboards that lift you right into the chorus- making you feel delighted and glad and sad at the same time- something no other band can consistently do, to me, in any case.

Hooky solo Those drums Turn your eyes from me

How much more classic do you want?

Future live New order moment

I'm sitting here alone at night My sleepless eyes are open wide What the fu..k do you want me to say What we had has gone away

And then others with better taste know that Technique is arse compared to Low-Life and Movement.

I like that little stutter step towards the end of Krafty, just the tiniest of pauses that locks down the whole thing.

The NO moments of all time have to be:

• weeeeeeeooooo, boom, boom, boom, chick from Blue Monday (you know the bit I mean)
• Hooky's last two rounds on the 12" Perfect Kiss. As someone said eleswhere "storming over" the rest of the track.

Working Overtime, it seems most New Order LPs have a very moment at the end (Avalanche, Every Little Counts, Run Wild). This just happens to be one of the better ones.

And within that track, as I've said repeatedly before, 1:48 to 2:09.

It seems to be a British phenom, for some reason. On this side of the pond, most people will like it but won'T fall completely for it. And I don't think it has any real potential for commercial radio in North America, whereas a song like Hey Now What You Doing might cut it. :)

Yes, quite an astute observation Mr. Moderator.

The first seven tracks are my most NO moment - Then comes "Jetstream"

The intro to Draculas Castle. While Im not a big fan of the song I think the start is brilliant. It just kinda builds up with guitar, synth and bass. Sheer class.
