Peel session versions of movement tracks better than offical album

Personally I prefer the peel sessions versions of the tracks, in particular ICB, especially when the drums kick in, alot more effectivley than the Movement album versin.

the vocals on dreams never end are a bit stiff, though the other tracks are cool,, the 2nd time peely played them we was coming back from the 1981 f.a. cup final reply ,, man city lost,, so it was the iceing on the cake.

seems like ive been here before

Yes I would agree with this.

Actually I listened to the later 1982 Peel Session on my original Strange Fruit CD single the other day. Have to say this was the best New Order listening experience I have had for a long time. Great version of "We all Stand", in fact I like all the tracks on this session. Maybe it's the unfamiliar tracks on here but it sounded really fresh to me (must be a few years since I heard this). Sound quality is great too - no compressed loudness war sound on this original 80s disc.

Agreed - I love the Peel versions. Also, the live versions on Taras are better (imo).

The Peel session is far better, no question about that

The Peel Sessions are great, but whatever happened to Too Late?

Never played live, never appeared on any studio release - just forgotten.

Perhaps it was called "Too Late" for that very reason.

Have to admit

that the ideas of these remasters are sounding better and better.

Peel Sessions seem to have more space.

BBC>everyone

why yous acting all surprised then?

your all heretics. martin made a trilogy, don't rob him.

Movement sounds like a complete work, very finished. The 1981 Peel session versions sound like those from Taras Shevchenko.

Of course, the 1982 session is a different story. Believe it or not, but due to Turn the Heater On I decided to find out more about Keith Hudson and that brought me to my recent obcession with dub (Mad Professor, Dreadzone, Mikey Dread). Now I realized the essence of PIL's first two albums - before I used to listen to them and couldn't get quite into it. Plus Martin Hannett happened to be a huge dub fan and 'Closer' was more or less a dub album with stalinist vocal contributions from Ian Curtis.

Nothing taken from him. The BBC versions would sound shite on movement, it's a holistic work.

But they are very lively, open, and UNproduced. BBC engineers of that era were the Jedi of sound techs. I've heard some stuff on TV lately that suggests the Jedi are a dying breed and being replaced with media studies students or some other form of mentally deficient rodent.
