What do you think? I bought it some time ago and like it

but also the bloke at HMV said the record Co. were ending the line for it and you wouldn't be able to buy it brand new anymore....anyone know why?

You LIKE it? Yer one of very few that do Danny boy;)

The songs that weren't too far away from the originals (perfecto mix etc...) are all ok, but what about the rest of the album.....Age Of Consent and all the others are just noise, if you listen really, really, really carefully, you might just about pick up one note from the original song......with Guy Fawkes night just around the corner, I suggest that everone who owns a copy, shoves it straight on the top of the bonfire.

Welcome to the site by the way:D

It's gonna be a lot worse when I move into my own place in a couple of weeks time.....drunken messages at 4 in the morning may well become a regular occurance again :evil4: (check yer mail by the way matey)

And if Sebsy and Nicos are reading.....I was only kidding :skeptic: :D

As a stand alone remix dance album, it's not THAT bad. Confusion certainly got attention when Blade came out. World, Ruined, tbthog, and regret are pretty good. 1963 and age of consent scream garbage though.

you may be able to answer my next question then....that confusion mix that was on Blade, sounds alot like 'Wink' a higher state of conciousness, is the confusion mix took from that song? I'm not sure when the 'wink' track came out....but wasn't it 1995 when the (rest of) came out

21 Sep 2002, 20:57

i never wink before. perhaps someone who has can answer.

Well......I dusted it off the other day and it's not half as bad as I remember. I only skipped BLT and Confusion. True Faith, Ruined, TBTHOG and Regret are all pretty good examples.

Having said that, it'll probably be another seven years before I play it again.

22 Sep 2002, 11:01

I played it once when I got it, hated it and haven't touched it since. Seeing as I'm going the the collection again I might subject myselg to it soon.

23 Sep 2002, 04:30

I "forgot" it in my ex-wife's house when I moved! It was 1997, I think...

23 Sep 2002, 04:45

Havent ever bothered getting 'rest of' i guess if i see it in a sale somewhere i may pick it up, but not having it is nothing i regret....

I used to have 'best of' but left it round someones house about 4 years ago!! again i hardly feel im missing out!!

The Rest of New Order should have been titled:

'Filthy'

That way the consumer has no doubt as to the content. Unless filth means good nowadays. Like M. Jackson's play on words Bad = Good.

Either way this album represents the single worst NO/commercial/flog a very much alive horse moment in history.

Let it never be repeated ... please.

:hat:

"Higher State Of Consciousness" came out twice. Summer '95 was the first time, don't think it charted. The "Dex and Jonesy Remix" version came out at the start of '96 and went Top 10.

I can't describe how terrible the CD is without resorting to a mathmatical equation:

(rest of New Order + me + an ability to hear + CD actually playing)/patience + duration of playing(volume) = time before death

23 Sep 2002, 20:58

I've been thinking about it...

Let's see the tracklisting:

World (perfecto mix) - good Blue Monday (hardfloor mix) - not bad True Faith (shep pettibone mix) - excellent Confusion (pump panel reconstruction mix) - nothing to do with the song Touched by the Hand of God (biff & memphis remix) - not bad Bizarre Love Triangle (armand van helden mix) - piece of junk Ruined in a Day (k-klass remix) - excellent Regret (fire island mix) - excellent Age of Consent (howie b remix) - piece of junk Spooky (magimix) - good

Why have we been brainwashed that this album suck? Probably because of the new material on it, (Confusion, Age of Consent & BLT), the only good one in those new remixes is the TBTHOG remix.

Beside that, they are all good!

... or because the tracks are so looong. You are right about the individual quality of the remixes but try to listen this album from the beginning to the end without fast-forwarding through the tracks.

No brainwashing involved, my ears were just open and the crap flowed in - tracks VERY repetative and VERY boring. The whole album completely lost the original NO spirit of pretty much every song. If should have been called a techno tribute to NO called something like "In A Clubby Place" or "Sacrimony" (combination of sacreligious and Ceremony) or (waste of) New Order... anyone else have some clever album titles?

smoke a fatty and listen to it, thats the best it can do with this cd

touched by the hand of God is the best mix in the cd age of consent waht a bunch of crap what did they do to that song>?

"like a bright light on the horizon"

Am I the only one to actually LOVE Howie B's Age of Consent (can't remember the name of the mix)?

25 Sep 2002, 11:09

Hey, that sounds great! Howie B's Age of consent "can't remember the name of the mix" mix...

I don't actively dislike it.

It's quite pleasant, since you ask. Makes me appreciate bits of the original that I hadn't really "heard" before.

28 Sep 2002, 03:17

I like this album actually. The only tracks I ever skip are Bizarre Love Triangle and Age Of Consent (but I didn't care for the original AoC much either). I think every band should have a remix album, and New Order did not too bad. They could have replaced a few mixes though (ex. Spooky (Stadium Mix), Regret (New Order Mix)... Yeah).

World - Amazing actually. 1st time I heard it, was blown away. Blue Monday Good, but loses something here. True Faith True Faith without the original drums isnt True Faith. Confusion - Hard and anger-enhancing. I like it. Touched by the Hand of God - Best remix around. Bizarre Love Triangle - Ok, this one is bad I guess. Ruined in a Day - Really good in my op. Regret - Should have been the New Order mix of Regret instead. Age of Consent - Icky. Spooky - Not bad. Everything's Gone Green - What the Hell? Temptation - Nice tune, but not the same song.

So that's my opinion..

Speaking of remixes, has anyone heard Love Will Tear Us Apart (Trouser Enthusiast Mix)? It's really good. I'd put it on (the rest of) JoyDivision if they ever make it.
