you are correct, babe.

A bunch of Kraftwerk albums are perfect.

But that's not the point

Erm, what's that test have to do with Roses?

Confused of Belgrade

Patrick just likes leading threads astray. It deflects attention from him.

We, Republicans, adherents of Republic, also love the artwork.

My question related to DW's joke about PH and alkalinity and acidity, not the Stome Roses.

On the subject of the Stone Roses, I got their album based on recommendations from both H and Mr. Big, and I was underwhelmed.

The artwork was great. Superb in fact.

It's almost as much fun as leading juveniles astray.

i feel sorry for your poor children.

Power, Corruption And Lies is perfect. Yet its songs are not in my favourites Top 10. It's just a perfect album as a whole, each song is excellent. Republic has a couple of weak songs, but it's still a great album. And Chemical is criminally underrated. That chorus is too cool!

i bought the spooky double pack recently off ebay .i was very pleased with it.z presents spooky.

I don't know, I've always liked Republic. I can't listen to Liar, but the rest is great in my opinion. Not classic New Order, but definatly worthwhile material.

You like Chemical? Awesome, I thought I was alone there. You should check out my cover of it on Acidplanet.com, let me know what you think.

I really like Republic as an album. As for EPs I'd rather have a whole album with some crap songs than just the good ones. I'd always think... If only they'd done more... You see what I mean?

As for the cover art, I like all of except the couple on the beach - it very daggy to me - white clingy board shorts are objectable! But the foldout is great. Shame the worst bit is on the cover.

Your cover is very good (I really like the keyboard tune), though I'd sample to death the two moments I adore on the song, apart from the chorus: the minimal but storming techno keyboard in the interlude, and the minimal but absolutely cool bass in the ending: two perfect example of New Order at their best in playing melodies made of two notes!
