New Order's best instrumental

Not sure if Ecstacy counts but its my poll and I can lie if I want to

Which is it to be? I'm sure I've missed out some obscure song from the Technique era or something.

EDIT: Cock, forgot The Beach. No one likes it anyway.

THIEVES LIKE US -SUBSTANCE 2 :D

I like "Don't Do It" for the crazy samples, Gillian's simple but cool synth line, and Barney's guitar work.

But what is Hooky's "Player in the League" thing? Tis not an instrumental

Yep. I've gone for that too. It's a gorgeous version

as much as i hate elegia...it's also probably their best! as i've said before, we can do without the 16 hour version of the track!

A tossup between Elegia and Let's Go for me, although stuff like Don't Do It is interesting.

What's the story on Hooky's "Player in the League thing", as you put it? I have it, it's neat, and I have no idea what it's actually called or what CD it appeared on.

Thieves Like Us and Best and Marsh are great pieces, but Elegia got my vote! I love it.

Thieves Like Us instrumental has vocals. "Come In" from Barney at the start."Player In The League" ,Hooky version ? eh?.That one must have slipped the net

But anyway, Best & Marsh is the fave.Or Elegia 17 min

Well, on the disc and track listings it says 'Thieves Like Us Instrumental' I'm willing to ignore the 'come in' because it's so bloody wonderful! :D

Daver has the right idea - I think some of you think I'm talking about Player in the League that was the b-side to... Here to Stay? I have no idea where this other track came from, one of the posters on here emailed me an mp3, but its got great Hooky bass all over it.

let's go. i prefer the original with vocals, but the instrumental is fantastic, as well.

I quite like Touched By the Hand Of Dub, and Evil Dust.

you missed Vicious Circle (RIAD b-side) and Salvation Theme. they're not so great anyway so....

I chose Don't Do it. It was a hard decision, because i like most of the tunes. Elegia was a close second.

I didn't vote because my choices weren't in the poll; they are the instrumental version of "Confusion" and "Vicious Circle".

Let's Go. Fookin' marvellous.

don't do it!

and it was difficult not to vote for let's go

elegia, sputnik

Really? Bugger. I thought that was a cracking bassline from Hooky.

Sorry I missed out Viscious Circle and Sputnik, forgot all about them. I considered Confusion but couldn't remember if the version on disc 2 of Substance was an instrumental or not. I considered checking my copy but decided I couldnt give a shite. :)

No kidding? The bass screams Hooky.

Let's Go. One of the best instrumentals of any band ever.

Video 5 8 6 a.k.a. The Missing Link

Let's Go just gets the nod ahead of Elegia.

nother one for don't do it

awesome tune

I'll have to vote don't do it, it's just fatasticly weird.

My problem with some of the suggestions is that they are instrumental versions of tunes that had a vocal i.e. TLU, which shouldn't count cos then there would be countless mixes which should also be in.

mind you I wouldn't complain if any of them came on TV or radio when I wasn't expecting it, they are all excellent, and one you've missed from the technique era is MTO, which has a vocal sample but should be classed as a true instrumental, and again is excellent.

I wish they'd do some more.

Let's Motor.

Ecstacey

Had to go for Elegia. Its just such a moving, mornful, sombre piece of music and one of the best tunes No has ever come up with. It fits Low-life brilliantly and I never tire of it. I love the way it flows and ebbs, the melodies, the crashing symbals, and then the distorted guitar riff climaxing it. Brilliant stuff.

However, the 17 minute version of is is pretty rubbish. This is the only NO song that I like in edited format. Cuts all the crappy out of tune guitar bits.

Dont Do It, is a very close 2nd for me.

Never heard instrumental of Lets Go. Where can this be found?

What no Avalanche?

does avalanche counts?it is an instrumental,isnt it?
