I love the version of Sister Ray on the Glasto CD though, it's so punk and shambolic, and full of drunken madcap energy. I actually like this recording because it really sounds like a punk band playing electronic music. And Touched by The Hand of God sounds fucking great on this CD. Yeah, Bernard's voice is awful and they fuck up a lot of songs...thats part of the charm!

Part of the charm ?........... Oh no it isn't.
It's the aural equivalent of eating cardboard doused in vinegar and tomato ketchup whilst being harangued by a drunken old wino who keeps spitting into your ear. It's rancid.
:p

I see what you did there.
You little roister doister.

I agree - Bernard's voice reached its peak here, which is why some New Order purists don't like the period so much - they WANT his crap singing, or it's not New Order
They seemed to play tighter too - which sacrificed the punkier devil-may-care style which a lot of people like
It's swings and roundabouts lad.

Bernard's shitty "I'm-an-important-artist-so-call-me-"sir"-and-bring-me-my-cocaine-on-a-silver-platter-NOW!!"-attitude also reached its peak at this point, which is another reason that people don't like this particular epoch. He was so much of a prima donna even Tony "just call me dah-ling, dah-ling" Wilson found him obnoxious. As if to prove his genius, Bernard took his football and ran off with his mate Johnny to make the second Electronic album - which is approximately the worst album EVER FUCKING MADE.
EVER.
If you want to be a 'proper singer', join Take fucking That. If you want to be a 'musician', join fucking Radiohead. Being 'professional' is for child pornographers.
Please can we have some sanity restored, eh?

I must say, not once has Bernard ever struck me as the sort of person who would fit the description you give above. Did he insult you personally, or something?

I don't know how people can call themselves fans and yet be so scathing??
No one is expected to like everything a band put's out, but some comments just take it to a new level.

The best song is TBTHOG. Temptation is ruined by a badly out of tune guitar. TPK,BLT,AOC have terrible guitar effects. Sister Ray is just crap. Cant remember the other songs.
A real shame as its a quality recording (as in clarity). Strange choice of original cover, as photo was from a concert in 1989 in Ibiza Cafe something (I believe). 2 years after bloody Glastonbury performance.
You can never have seen Nu Ordah live I take it?
I only got to see them in 2001 and 2005, when they were a bit more comfortable performing.
