"Item" artwork

Nice art, nice name, nice content. Good to see NOStory being dusted down & released on DVD.

I was also wondering if we may see a waste painting slipped in somewhere... we'll soon know.

If you are pre-ordering it through Amazon, please use the following links as they will give 5% of the sales to the NOOL fund (and help pay the bills)

Amazon UK - Region 2 PAL Amazon USA - Region 1 NTSC Amazon Canaa - Region 1 NTSC Amazon Japan - NTSC

I've used the top link but it won't allow pre-orders (yet). When it does, how do we know for sure 5% goes to NOOL? I'll be checking to make sure you got my 5% once I've paid

as for the artwork, it's growing on me. first I thought it was a lift with a box in it, but now I'm not so sure. nice to see anyway that the brolly doesn't bear the Adidas logo ...

If you stare at the cover long enough you can see a box and an umbrella in the corner. Amazing.

hahaha where is it placed though ?

the cover image is from the ceremony video by Yu Likwai.

darn I was thinking of something like this......

for years NO was an enigma...a closed up warehouse. Factory was the ultimate indie label and NO the ultimate indie band. They rarely did interviews, almost never appeared i their own videos. the band was mysterious. In the past few years NO has seemed more visible-more open-more interviews & lots of bands singing their praises. NO seems omnipresent....

so the point??? There is supposed to be one?

it seems many of the secrets & toys in the attics have been revealed-so of course we will soon find out what in the box!

Looks like what i'm currently living in as of now.

[6)Was Bernard involved in this (in the same way he was for GR and WFTSC)?

hmm i didn't know that, can you elaborate? I read somewhere that is was bernard who found the wave form of the dying star. is that true?

It is, the picture itself is diagram 6.7 from Dr Simon Mitton's 1976 book "The Cambridge Encyclopedia Of Astronomy", depicting 100 consecutive pulses from the first radio pulsar, discovered in 1919. And no, i have no idea what that means, a dying star i guess?

First thing that came to my mind was the stuff in the box, like many of these videos, have been kept boxed up for a rainy day (enter the umbrella).

Very PetShopBoyish, actually.

seriously : We've got a french "nooler" who's wondering about if there is gonna be some subtitles on "New Order story" ? (in french, yes)

Anyone ?

I need a translation book for the british on this site. Im lost on most of the humor.

I like that its simple. Very new order retro.

Do I see an orange umbrella?

I pre-ordered my copy from Amazon.ca. you will get your 5% from me I cant believe the Canadian dvd is alot cheaper then the US copy. And its even coming from the US, which is the funny part! I bet it will be cheaper for someone in the US to order it from Canada!

Its a Fourier Transform of the electromagnetic signal emmitted by a dying star. The band picked it out of a book (black on white), Saville reversed the (non) colours, laid it out, and picked some expensive paper.

In the MOJO article on NO/JD, there was an interview with PETER SAVILLE in which he said he had little to do with GR or WFTSC. He left it to his assistants and BERNARD. HOWARD WAKEFIELD who works in SAVILLE ASSOCIATES came on these boards around the time of WFTSC and answered any stupid questions we had.

Saville said that he is no longer interested in pop-sleeves, and that he is too old/has moved on. He also said that a recent cover was turned down by the band. Bernard, it seems, still fancies himself as a bit of a graphic designer.

i think bernard fancies himself as a dictator

Perhaps this is a photo of Phil's stuff and the band thought this was the easiest way to break it to him that Gillian's coming back.

as i mentioned in my previous post. the image used on the cover is from the new version of the ceremony video. michael shamberg, who produced the video, organized a small viewing of the ceremony and temptation videos in paris about a month ago. they are both great by the way.

Oh, poor old little Saville is no longer interested in "pop sleeves", is he, dear? So why the "art direction by Peter Saville" credit in every New Order sleeve, I dare to ask?

Because of the

$$$$$$

or the

€€€€€€

or even the

££££££

that's f***** why!!!!!!

Saville´s back in business again !

It's depressing, has none of the beauty of some of Saville's earlier moments and isn't going to catch eyes.

Is that the message the band really want to convey?

I doubt they had any input into approving the sleeve.

I quite like it actually. Simple, basic, but nice overall. Don't see why some of the fuss about it, i don't find it so very different from sleeves like 'Movement' or 'EGG'... Well...

You should post an account under a new thread. What were the Ceremony and Temptation Videos like?
