If it was the label's call we'd just get The Even More Very Best Of... and BM 08/TF 09/1963 63...

my guess is that Bernard Sumner will finish those left-overs like he did with Republic and "Let's go", this time maybe with Stephen. so expect Hooky's bass being low in the mix... but I can't imagine putting them out as an EP as Bernard is known for being "overprofessional" for demands of the record industry - so no clue how to fill this material up to an album of 50 mins?
seriously nobody knows how Hooky will feel for New Order when the novelty will be gone from his DJ career and Freebass will get the attention all his projects got, namely being mediocre attempts doing something else. and the last thing this world is waiting for would be another Monaco album which imho was a shameless copy of New Orders different moods anyway. must be cruel for both if you're only able to produce your best music with a partner you just can't stand anymore.
Bernard should rerecord Get The Message with Melanie C on backing vocals and get her to take all her clothes off in the video.
I REALY hope they do. Get Ready and Sirens Call were definetely a return to form. And they can't release another album without a tour :D

Turn is great, but I don't rank it as a classic. WFTSC has more of that feel; like a proper ballad. Don't think it's really bollocks to say anything about consensus; everything I've read on this board since spring '05 suggests WFTSC is the most appreciated track off the album.
Turn is a beautiful arc of golden piss that lands directly on WFTSC's face.
Good as WFTSC is, it's not a patch on Turn.
Shamberg proved this by making a classic promo for Turn and a turd for Sirens.
Most people will agree with me - have a vote if you don't belive me.
Yeah, It'll come in a saville designed sleve, made out of freshly nitted fog, suplied with a book with a forward by ian curtis, rob gretton and martin hannet. the sleve will be a picture of barney and hooky kissing and hugging!
JV wrote: Consensus seems to be that WFTSC produced one last classic--the title track. I always felt that it sounded like a swansong. It's unlikely they'll write anything better than that. I thought Krafty was a good effort at trying to replicate the old sound, but it got savaged by a lot of folks. I'm sure NO are finding it difficult to please themselves, let alone their rather demanding fanbase.
There are some classic tracks on that album, WFTSC, Krafty, Turn, Guilt, Morning Night and Day, Hey Now.
It is in the top three of NO albums I listen to the most, - WFTSC, PCL and Low Life.
Not sure if you NO care about pleasing us..........

Say's it all realy, they can't release the stuff already recorded without hooky's permission, and stuff without hooky, just wouldn't be new order.
Jack get your diplomat head on and get monaco back together, i bet you'd get some decent pocket money as second bassist, so it's in your own interest. potsy's a better singer anyway, (that's me getting a slagging off!)
The question was "will they record", then No should be the answer.
To the question "will they release", then the answer will surely be YES.
It has to happen sometime, they will release the left overs of the WFTSC sessions, it's already recorded, no need to have Hooky and Bernard in the same room for that.
That's the label's call really... it could be an EP, everybody would be happy.
Can anyone tell me- Did Hooky and Bernard get into a spat (again) to cause all this? That's how it sounded when Hooky was asked if NO had broken up. Something like "Well, I'm not working with Bernard anymore."
