We're talking different carats of gold here really and it all comes down to personal opinion. Low-life and Technique are on equal footing pretty much but the latter is very summery and consistent (hardly a duff track) so it just edges out the former for me. As for Movement, erm.... I'm refraining from saying it's absolute bollocks but let's be honest, even for the fan majority it's not the most popular NO album. In "Favourite Album Polls" it regularly comes either last or second last. Polls are not gospel of course but they obviously reflect a chunk of popular opinion.

Movement is Joy Division minus the best bits (for obvious reasons) with a few experimental synth doodles that attempt to masquerade as songs (and fail). I was very interested when Bernard mentioned in a '98 interview that he didn't even own a copy of Movement nor could remember the songs :shrug: Dreams Never End was the one spark of brilliance on that album. That said, I have alot of sympathy for the band with that record so it's hard to pan it completely, they must've been in a very strange place post-Ian with Joy Division so comprehensively gone.

IMO of course!

The last minute of MN&D when Hooky's bass kicks in accompanied by Stephen's stellar drumming. Pure New Order for me.

Good point - as ive mentioned before - i always look forward to those moments listening to a new NO album where you go "??? where did THAT come from?"
