Gene, a fine band and no mistake. ("You'll Never Walk Again" does it for me).

True - they have too many songs that give you that tremble though! Chuffed to see that i'm not actually the only one to like them!

That little jangly guitar solo bit near the end of Idiot Country does it for me

.....while we are a little off topic, the chorus to 'Time' and the intro to 'Sleep' by Marion are fine moments, thanks largely to the guitar work of the one and only Phil "Philling in for Gillian" Cunningham CTD :cool:

I always liked the start of Brassneck by the Weddoes.

One that hasnt been mentioned is the end of Run, perfect me thinks, definitely chill material.

Blue Monday, I know i will get slagged off but it always works for me, other notable ones are Special 'the patiently you wait for me, you are so blind', Dream Attack (in general), Mr Disco, the start of the second chorus 'maybe you could write me a letter' its at that point of the song i feel like im 'in' or that the song has me in, if that makes any sense. Sooner Than You Think 'theres right and theres wrong theres good and theres bad theres an answer to this i wish i had'.

We could be here forever couldn't we.

Damn...there are so many...moreso with Joy Division.

First and foremost, exactly 2:17 into Run, when Barney chimes in with a third electric guitar part...that track really takes off into the stratosphere. :guitar: Absolutely sublime.

Yeah, that's it. Go listen to it now.

The crescendo at the end of Age of Consent, it all goes a bit low-key, then the thing lifts off into orbit! Opening bars to Love Vigilanties, and I'd like to agree with Alex:nod: The last bit of Run is fuckin good;)

Vanishing point - near the end where the music cuts out, then theres the keyboard, and then hi-hats, and then fast snares and then back to big bass drum and a note from Hookys bass. Just before the "Whistle down the wind" bit where you hear a rumbling noise. That bit is class too. Damn the song`s too good!!!

The quality's better on the 12", the grooves are wider apart :moon:

i usually notice different things in different songs at different times... anyway, what always got me was the "ive lost you, Ive lost you..." lyrics followed by the synth sounds at the end of age of consent. the synths were just sudden and disruptive though beautiful at the same time.

also, the things that make you go oomf title reminded me of C n C music factory, were they big in England in the early 90s also?

Having thought about it, what really makes me go "OOF" is when I'm pushing the trolley round the supermarket...and the little fella in the seat thinks it would be a good idea to kick Daddy in the nadgers. :eek3:

No, you're not the only one, Facsy. Plus I just recently got the R&R single with the Instrumental Making Out mix of VP, which is also gorgeous.

speaking of 7" v 12" i always thought that they recorded the 12" first then edited that down for the 7" (tempation seems to be an exception) is this right or was i mistaken all along?

Was listening to "1963" for the first time in ages yesterday, the last little verse combined with the synthesizers just sent chills down my spine. I'd forgotten what an *excellant* song 1963 was.

Reminds me of the Bernie Mac show, the one where his nephew is playing for the football team and is injured down there. You can't help but squirm, really......

The keyboards in Age Of Consent (spine rippling) The keyboard refrain that opens (reprises) and closes KW1 The keyboard climax to The Perfect Kiss (utterly orgasmic!) The ending to Bizarre Love Triangle (album version) The orchestral climax to All Day Long The loud guitar stab right at the very end of State Of The Nation (even tho the song is crap) The intro to Thieves Like Us (just gorgeous) The guitar sound on Regret (especially the chord that repeats itself just before each chorus) The part in As It Is When It Was (2 mins 38 secs) when the guitars lunge forward and the song gains momentum The huge ROCK-OUT fuzz-bass intro to Way Of Life The sheer noisiness of Angel Dust's cacophonous nightmarish climax

(notice how many of these bits come from "Brotherhood" ??!)

As for other non-New Order songs, I'm afraid that's far too taxing on my memory bank - I'll run out of batteries before I even get a third of the way thru that one, so sorry to say, I won't be able to do so at present.... :D
