Hey peeps :)
I just got The Best of album and was wondering if there are any other songs worth purchasing that are as good as the songs on here.
I'm completely new to NO, and I'm a big Depeche Mode fan (please, don't hurt me!) and want to get into NO some more.
So far, my fave songs are Regret and Bizarre Love Triangle.
Thanks, Ben
Another Depish fan
You join one of the webmasters in liking that lot;)
Check the thread entitled "An Ideal Setlist" this gives you most of the fans favourites........and even though you like Depish, welcome to the site
Enjoy The Madness

Get their SUBSTANCE album from 1987, and listen to TEMPTATION.....

Have you ever seen me write how much I like Depeche Mode here?
You're assuming that only because Muffy labelled me as something equivalent as "a f*cking Depeche Mode fan" who wishes New Order would be the same, or something like that.
Well in any case, let it be known that BOTH of the webmasters here are Depeche Mode fans, and have been for YEARS (1987 ?).
Let it be known that I am also a very loyal Pet Shop Boys (1985) fan and Cure fan (1990).
So I am always opened to speak about these bands. :)
(As for the flamers... prepare for extinction!!!!! MMMmmmmmmmmmmmmuhahahahaha).

Look, it's not my fault you like that lot
I wasn't going by what anyone else had stated - you have mentioned Depish....sorry Depeche, a few times, this is why I picked up on it:D
Notice how you've strayed off topic - you should be ashamed:moon:
neworder neworder neworder neworder neworder;)
And Nicos - you don't get away with it either....I'm disappointed in you an all!
Ben also check out Substance fer all the singles between 81 & 87, then Technique 1989 (most peoples fave album) and more recently Get Ready 2001.
They will soon overtake Depish in your musical mind;)
Note to everyone: That's how you go from O/T to ON TOPIC:D
SEB i too am a DEVOUT PET SHOP BOY fan as in i buy all that they release and more.That reminds me i have to collect the DVD version of the single that i had to order in CHORLEY cos they did not stock it.Can you believe that.
PET SHOP BOYS are COOL 
VIOLENCE RELIGION INJUSTICE DEATH..... :D

Please remember the community standards Baldy....did you not read my posts above

Me, too...a PSB fan since 'Please' LP...but must admit 'Release' was not that crash hot....a disappointing, actually, even with those Marr contributions....
I like Fat Bob since the days of 'F.I.R.E. in Cairo'.... and at least 'Bloodflowers' was pretty good.... and also that 2 Sydney gigs in Nov 2000 - both lasted 2.5 hours each....or were they 3 hours?
:topic:
Mr T....please read above
It's my last night round here......I'm in one of those funny moods......before I leave here tonight, Temptation will be the last song these 4 walls will hear

OK.....
BEN,
I think you should buy the 1985 release 'LOWLIFE'..... thats my NUMERO UNO NEW ORDER album.....compact, short but full of everything, guitars, disco, moody instrumental
and every song here is a killer even rarely mentioned tracks like 'sooner than you think' & 'Face Up' are soooo unique...
I have about 2000 CDs in my collection now but I've made sure that my very first CD is a New Order CD...and it's LOWLIFE!!!
...( unfortunately, my second CD was WHAM:the Final..... )
OK....THOUSANDS AND MILLIONS OF APOLOGIES, BEN....
....for failing to point out that The Cure's 'Head On The Door' contains the all time classic 'In-between Days'...
Better still, check out the ORIGINAL.... it is in New Order's debut 1981 Movement...the song's called 'DREAMS NEVER END'.....Absolute classic, just listen to the way the song builds up....TIMELESS GEM!!!
( dont have to buy the whole album though, coz u'll be sorely disappointed.....buy THE BEST OF - US version, instead...it has more guitar tracks.... )

It's true Shuggy :D I've been a Depeche Mode fan before I was a New Order fan, Sébastien is the one that got me into New Order. I possess all Depeche Mode albums & most of the singles and a lot of rare material...
In fact, I always considered myself a better DM fan than New Order, I've seen them 4 times in concert in Montréal while New Order never bothered to show up here!!
But I must say, Depeche Mode and our province (Québec) has a mega love story, they still fill arenas here and will always do (Depeche Mode), they always start their world tour in Montréal for some reason, and even if their last two albums missed IMHO Alan Wilder and this is why they weren't as good as the previous two, I'm still a fan.
But I must admit that Get Ready is a far better album than Exciter, but at least for Exciter I managed to see the band live in my town :D 1993 is a long way down, I'd be quite happy to see the Order tour in the east coast of North America sooner or later..
As for other bands, see my profile to see what I like :D

You should know, Ben, that most folks here consider Slow Jam and We All Stand to be tied as the all-time best New Order songs.
Originally posted by Al Jarvis 'Enjoy The Silence' - cracking, er, New Order record? Wasn't it?
Nope, I see on all of the DM albums and compilations that it features on that it was written by a Mr M. L. Gore in 1989. You must be mistaken.
Bah, ETS is better than any New Order song I bet! :-D **runs away VERY, VERY fast**
Originally posted by See-Ye Tan btw, i'm also a big fan of those Basildon Bastards but not a fan of Martin Gore's fishnet stocking......and I thought Exciter was downright the opposite....BLACK CELEB & VIOLATOR KICK ASS.....
Exciter was a big disappointment for me. Yeah I like it, but it's not as good as Violator or SOFAD or even Ultra.
Needs more Alan Wilder.
Originally posted by Ben Aspinall Bah, ETS is better than any New Order song I bet! :-D
And I bet this will be your last post in this forum.
Love Vigilantes,Vanishing Point,Regret (FIRE ISLAND MIX),
Crystal,Temptation,Perfect Kiss,1963 and Subculture to begin with. 
these have probally been mentioned already...
songs: Ceremony, The Village, tempation, Face-up, lonesome tonight
albums: low-life, technique, power,curruption, and lies, and substance 1987. and their latest get ready.
then... get into JOY DIVISION!!! joy division was the band that eventually became new order.
Originally posted by Al Jarvis 'Enjoy The Silence' - cracking, er, New Order record? Wasn't it?
That reminds me when Hooky once said that Depeche ripped the Order off, saying Enjoy The Silence was a pale copy of Touched By The Hand of God.
Now, I think that was a but exagerated to say the least!!!!
Enjoy the Silence better than any New Order song?
Gee, as a Depeche Mode fan myself, that's a really tough one.. as ETS is one of my favorite song and the one that got me into Depeche Mode...
Is it, isn't it? Well, that depends of course of your musical tastes, Enjoy The Silence was more popular here than True Faith, which is the most popular New Order song ever in Montréal, but that doesn't mean it's necessairly better, it's different!
I prefer not to compare my best bands, but I can add that I'm never getting bored of New Order's music, while DM, well, I'm not listening to their stuff to often these days...
ooh, let's see...perfect kiss, ceremony, temptation, subculture, world, regret, slow jam, crystal, blue monday (naturally). oh, hell. just start with substance and move from there. and i hope you've discovered joy division, as well! most important. 
p.s. i like depeche mode, too. since 'people are people' in , what, '84, '85?
There are so many good New Order songs - but paying attention to the two songs that you said you liked a lot from Best Of - Regret and BLT, I would say that you should buy Technique first before any other NO album. I am basing that opinion on the songs you said that you love, which leads me to believe that you like their technoie stuff better - Technique is all like that. Brotherhood is good and Republic is too, but they are a little more varied through the album. If you want to branch into the other areas of style that New Order does, I would get Power, Corruption and Lies or Low Life (two of my favs). Also, if the members here slaughter you for loving Depeche Mode, I will come to your defense... if I am too late I will pick up the pieces that remain and ship them postage paid to your loved ones.
Wolfmann, quick aside: every time I see your profile pic I'm reminded of the dog in "The Thing" which gets ripped apart by the alien. God, that's a fucked up movie...
Anyway, every single New Order album should be in Ben's collection by now, he's had a month.....
just get the best of cuz if you consider every song these guys are tripping over to get you listening to, you've got a long time.
trust me, i was a newbie not too long ago:D

Indeed: Enjoy is a pure gem while Touched is pure crap.
I think Ben left this building some time ago ... carrying his collection of various DM albums under his beak.

Taboo's right Ben, my dog was ripped apart by aliens.. er I mean you have had a month - you should be telling us what to buy...
Yargh, it's been a long time. Well, I have indeed become a big NO fan now. Who'd a thunk it? I bought 3 16 recently (where's LWTUA in Reading btw?) and it indeed a great watch. Temptation is now indeed my fav. NO song :-D
Yeah, I was a big Cure and Depeche Mode fan before I got into New Order, and I still like them quite a bit. None of their albums seem to get any listens these days, it's always JD or NO...
It's like, I'll go out and buy a batch a cds from new group, then in about a few weeks I'll be spinning JD and NO again. It's just weird. You have JD for when you are pissed off and bitchy, and you have NO for when you are happy... and still bitchy.
With JD and NO, you get Punk, New Wave, Pop, Disco, Rock, the dreaded term "Goth", ect. There's always something for whatever mood you're in. Depeche's music is great, but it seems like they keep doing the same thing, but only adapting to the times. And The Cure, well, I got kind of sick of fat Bob bitching about the same girl in every damn song, it got annoying. Plus, he's married, he should be over it by now.
I still love them both, but their last albums were disappointing in my opinion. Depeche Mode put out what was basically "Ultra, part 2", and The Cure tried to please the fans by making a "Disintegration, part 2".
If the "Retro" box set has thought as anything, it's that New Order could care less about the fans. As they said in many interviews, they just do what they want to do. If that's a good or bad thing, well, I can't answer that.

HOOOAHHHHH!!! What a very nice post here, Low Life. I'm in complete agreement as far as what NO/JD offer in terms of sound, mood, etc. JD rocks, it while NO makes me all shiny and happy.
I'm a big DM fan as well. Exciter was disappointing because it seems unlike NO, DM are NOT getting better with age and may have left their best work behind them. Like your reference to Bloodflowers being Disintegration2. Did you know Pornography, Disintegration, and Bloodflowers are considered a trilogy by Robert Smith?
Anyways back on topic, the Order are classic......in fact, I can't think of a better band name, NEW ORDER. mysterious, ambivilent....damn, I really can't think of a better band name!!
