Absolutely! With Hellbent (Brutal's retarded little brother) as the fanfare no one's expecting an epiphany. But 6 songs is far from negligible given that they were never the most productive band in the world. I'm doubtless gonna buy it, give it a few listens then file under 'Revenge'.

I think some people are misunderstanding why these tracks exist. They aren't necessarily the weakest tracks from the Sirens' sessions. They're tracks from a lengthy period of writing and recording that didn't fit with what was released on the LP. If you didn't rate that album, maybe that bodes well for these tracks.

Intriguing logic Sir! I'm actually looking forward to these tracks, I just wish they'd bleedin' come out.

I don't reckon we'll ever see LeftOvers...

Unless poweroftrucking or 50quid are allowed to release it into the blogosphere.

The new LP sounds faaaaar more exciting.

Left overs will just be the death throws of the Hook era... Interesting, but not the end of the world if never heard.

Why?

He WAS touring Joy Division. At least Joy Division don't exist anymore. He's been touring the JD nostalgia show for three years. Now he's run out of JD stuff, it's onto New Order. At least the singer of JD is dead and can't sing anymore, and there isn't a JD. So even with the whole tenuous link of Bass-Player-Singing-Songs-He-Didn't-Originally-Sing-and-Not-Playing-The-Instrument-He-Played-On-The-Records which seemed a bit of a loose connection to the original JD band, he's now in the whole Bass-Player-Singing-Songs-He-Didn't-Originally-Sing-and-Not-Playing-The-Instrument-He-Played-On-The-Records-Even-Though-The-Original-Singer-Is-Still-Alive-And-The-Band-Are-Actually-Together position.

How would we feel if it wasn't Hooky? If say, it was another band. If it was Jason-Newsted ex-Metallica touring one of their albums? It's a desperate move. Or perhaps someone who used to be guitarist in Whitesnake trying to sing some of their drivel. Think of something else to do Hooky. We don't need Faux New Order when the actual New Order are touring. And if I had to pick between Hooky and Barney singing New Order, Barneys a better singer. Always has been. It's not too far until we get the Peter-Hook-performs-The-Other-Two-And-You in 2023.

Lets not mention Rowetta fucking murdering the songs. You might as well have Lady-Gaga-sings-Nirvana.

For heavens sake, Hooky, I've never wanted you to be anything less than a success, but seeing you perform a set full of New Order songs with a bunch of mostly Sleeperblokes, singing songs you never sang, and not playing bass, is a bloody horrific idea. I've seen Frankenbands trying to cover old songs when there's only the singer, or the accountant, left, and it is a degrading sight to the songs. I don't want imagine Hooky and The Blokes trying to growl their way through "Blue Monday". I might as well go and see Howling Mad Frank down the local pub karoke over the 12".

LET IT GO, HOOKY.

Write new songs, record new songs, tour new songs, and play some old ones at the same time, and I wish you every success in the matter, but STOP LIVING IN THE PAST, stop selling bricks and bits of ground up old beer cans from a club that closed 15 years ago, and stop trying to make a buck out of being the worlds only tribute act to Who You Were Thirty Years Ago.

If I wanted to see New Order, I'd go see New Order.

A good point indeed and personally I can't take Rowetta seriously as it sounds like some kind of weird parody musical (oh crap, I don't want to give Hooky ideas about Joy Division The Musical). Having said that no one stopped Frusciante touring Joy Division and he did an OK job of it. It will be interesting to hear the new Face Up if Hooky gets as far as the Low-life Brotherhood tour, although by then he'll have fallen out with Rowetta and had to recruit another X-Factor wannabe... [:d]

Personally I would love him to resurect Monaco - I would definately go and see that

Sorry to state the obvious but wouldn't it be better to wait for an official (ie band / record label) announcement rather than all these websites? I still remember all the HMV bullshit on 'The Best Of Electronic' - at one point they said it was imminent for release (on a Thursday!) but no info... Let's take this with a proverbial pinch of salt.

An economy CD-only release would be nice. Just saying.

As of June 2012, the album is currently unreleased due to a legal dispute between the band members.
