Some might say he was only working with the material he was given though. I say that as a New Order fan too. Sometimes you just can't polish a turd no matter how much of a super-producer you are. Mind you it took both Price and Richard X hammering away at that song to turn it into something half decent (the latter's remix is great). But by the end it just didn't seem like a "New Order song"; it seemed like Bernard collaborating with a couple of hip young super producers which didn't fit well on an album under the NO banner. In my opinion, anyway.
That said, 'Guilt Is A Useless Emotion' is a pretty well produced electronic track; done in a similar vein to what he did with Madonna's material around that time which also did pretty well in the charts. The band were also nominated for a Grammy award in 2006 for the solid batch of Guilt remixes? He clearly has the Midas Touch sometimes.
