(the rest of) New Order

I mean i have two copy of the rest of, the limited edition with the metallic cover and the normal one with the white cover.

No i'm not stupid enough to buy the limited edition twice

I wasn't stupid enough to buy this once to be honest - cos i heard some of these remixes being played on various radio stations and they all sounded wretched.

Talk about sacrilege indeed.

Can't we just remove all the posts on this thread, sample a vacuum cleaner sound, then have it play when people click on the thread link... 'cause this album sucks! Also, the vacuum cleaner sound would be worth more.

But that would sound too much like the Aphex twin then wouldn't it? !

Could be

The Dave Clarke remix of Everything's Gone Green is decent. Why wasn't the Richie Hawtin remix of Blue Monday included, is my question.

I like it too.

Does anybody know why:

"19.6.93 (heart symbol) 17.7.94"

is written down the inner spine of the CD artwork?

I've heard that this is a reference to the marriage date of Gillian and Steve.

That was the period that i took over on keyboards and occasional cowbell and witnessed the band tear apart for 8 years after barney forgot to put sugar in hooky's tea. That's why ruined in a day has the lyric:

"Listen, i may be wrong but you'll listen. There's something wrong you could say, hooky forgot the sugar"

i can't believe that people cant take "the rest of" for what it is..... a "remix" record... and have not some of you people noticed and heard of ACID HOUSE, the post house scene, drum and bass, so callled "IDM", the rave culture of the last decade! some of these remixes are older, some were given to then hot current remixers at the time, some of them did not seem to take it very seriously thou...

1. World, a remix that is better than the lazy dated (even at that time, the album version is very flawed) S.Hague version ... an very good pop song
2. Hardfloor's Blue Monday, a remake in the German acid house style, quite good and interesting, you can tell that the two Hardfloor guys had great respect for the song... 3)True faith... this is the classic 1987 remix that pounded on dancefloors everywhere in 1987... 4)Confusion.... obviously the remixer had no interest in the origiinal song whatsoever, so made a driving "confusing" hard acid track, i like it, very minimal... 5)Touched... remixer idea didn't quite work out, got a check for it anyway, so they had to do something with it 6)Bizarre... this is a bizarre remix... have to listen to it again.... did Armand hate the song or something? ... remixer idea didn't quite work out, got a check for it anyway, so they had to do something with it 7)Ruined... a remix from the original single... ehh, its okay and nice i guess... were chillin' now on the "backside" of the record 8)Regret... this a very nice post-early 90's housey remix from the original single, very nice mood track... 9)Age of Consent... Howie B ...err.. an experimental take that doesnt work all that well, thats why it it hidden next to last... remixer idea didn't quite work out, got a check for it anyway, so they had to do something with it 10)Spooky... a rather boring track in all versions

a rather mixed bag, but not terrible....

and why did they leave off the Clarke everythings gone green? he was one of the hottest producers at the time, more similar to the new order style... and i guess they didint like the Hawtin version of Blue Monday, in the early to mid 90's, hawtin was probably the best and most intelligent acid house producer... and how come NONE of the remixes from the Technique singles show up... very Chicago/Detroit acid hosue style... in retrospect these remixes are very cool..

Rob, the main rub is that New Order called the album 'The Rest of NO' which is deemed 'The Rare NO Material we've Never Released'. If they'd called the album 'Fans Beware, this is DJ tripe for DJ's with Wooden Ears' we wouldn't be moaning.

This album was never 'contemporary' in anyone's house ... however, your comment that 'Republic' was dated when it was released is correct.

Cos it's shite. What was the point in me buying that compilation just for *THAT* ?

N21 = sense.

It's really good. I'd put it on (the rest of) JoyDivision if they ever make it.

EGG ????? Temptation???? LWTUA, isn't that the Arthur Baker's mix???

The Trouser Enthusiast mix ain't a real T.E. mix... They made the mix, but weren't pleased with it, so it wasn't officially released. I don't know if the mix from the latest DMC compilations has something to do with them, probably, mind you, it has the same remixing technique as theirs, i.e. outdated. It has a very very heavy techno background, like trance, and Ian's a bit speeded. Weeeee !

As for EGG Dave Clarke and Temptation CJ Bolland... "I think I'll walk alone --- I think I'll walk alone --- I think I'll walk alone --- I think I'll walk alone --- I think I'll walk alone --- I think I'll walk alone --- I think I'll walk alone --- I think I'll walk alone --- I think I'll walk alone --- I think I'll walk alone --- I think I'll walk alone --- I think I'll walk alone --- I think I'll walk alone --- I think I'll walk alone --- I think I'll walk alone --- I think I'll walk alone --- I think I'll walk alone --- I think I'll walk alone --- I think I'll walk alone --- I think I'll walk alone ---

Terrible.

well, i see how it is a bit confusing...

in retrospect, they should have done a more "classic" remix type record instead of throwing money at a bunch of disinterested remixers, and stated that on the back at least...

they could have used some of the original complete 12 inchers that were unavailable elsewhere, or even had a little duplicity from Substance... the cooler original Confusion mixes are very poorly represented on CD... Dub-Vulture B-side... the silly 12" mixes of Blue Monday/ Beach1988...

these are all more original New Order-ness, other than the habit of the 90s of just handing off a track to a bored producer(s) to gain him an easy nice paycheck. i wish i had some of these old 12" single stuff on CD.

Werd - Right on - Straight up - Rock the first - Yeah

The Rest Of is absolutly unessential to me. I tend to shy away from remix-apoloozas.

Another NO purest - I say no remix albums by other bands or tributes either. The only tribute album I like is Joy Division's "Means To An End" - which is quite good.
