Greatest New Order intros

For me its a three way tie between:

Dreams Never End - Rousing bass and guitar and a nice hi hat build up and propulsive drum intro from Steve.

The Village - Idiosyncratic bleeps, cracking opening bass intro and more explosive drumming.

Vanishing Point - Never before have kick drums sounded so appealing. Nice drum roll and lovely keyboard bell tone.

Touched By the Hand of God & Mr Disco.

crystal,true faith, and perfect kiss

Subculture (Low-Life album version)

Indeed!

Age of Consent and Ceremony by a mile. I like the Massive Attack vibe on Special aswell.

The Perfect Kiss or failing that Thieves Like Us

1963 (Original)

Certainly none of Alan Wises

Procession, Sunrise, TLU, Hurt, BLT, Face Up (for hilarity), Shellshock, EGG and on it goes...

Crystal Perfect Kiss Ceremony

regret,,

live , age of consent and dreams never end.

saw you this morning

DNE. Guaranteed to empty or fill the Soul. Depending how it takes. Senses as you just know Chosen Time and ICB are just around the Edge. Then Denial chasing through. 3. Agree w/ Procession Heart beats you.. on a Photo finish with EGG, Ceremony, and Thieves. The same idea 'cause you just know Cries an Whispers then Hurt is 'round the Corner. Kiss of Death for its novelty.

face up and touched by the hand of god

Procession (when the bass and drums kick in) Love Vigilantes AOC Regret

Sunrise, Temptation, AOC.

So do they just give good intro? Or do they deliver beyond the foreplay?

Crystal Sooner Than You Think Dream Attack

Hurt

The two for me would be The Perfect Kiss and Temptation.

Psy

love vigilantes is the most sampled one n'est ce pas?

BLT non shep pettibone versions--good though that is--straight to that electro drum fill and great opening lyric.

As It Is When It Was, All Day Long,Every Second Counts, Ceremony, Age of Consent, Who's Joe?

Has to be 'Crystal' and 'Age Of Consent' for me

I suppose it's too unfashionable to say Blue Monday One of the most distinctive intros ever, surely?

Otherwise the Village, Hurt, EGG.

"Crystal"!

Oh and "Dreams Never End" gives off a stange optimism...

The perfect kiss Bizarre Lobe Triangle Crystal

Every Second Counts intro is non-existant.

Regret, Thieves Like Us and Dreams Never End, maybe not the "greatest",but certainly 3 of my favs
