It's the Stuart Price remix of the tune - far better than the original mix (which is something not so hard to achieve).

I am surprised that it is only a month away and no mention of it on Newordernow.net or any news of a single to be released or played on the radio off Lost Sirens, usually a month before it's release they have something to listen off the album, hopefully the Guardian will have the album preview before it's release, i am still very excited to listen to it.

I seriously doubt there will be any singles.

There were none for Total.

It'll be the album and that's it (I bet).

I like the artwork though. Much better than WFTSC's artwork.

That's correct. There won't be a single release to support LS. I have asked this question.

Just keep knocking out those hits eh? Just being a clitoris (a bit of a cunt), I'm excited about this. With ITYS and HB as the trailers I wasn't expecting much, but the snippets sound pretty nice and to be honest there really aren't a huge number of actual songs (despite the plethora of remixes, live recordings, rererereleases etc) so 6 newbies is fine by me. PS I didn't expect a single which is cool (I like the 'one-off' mentality) and uncool (some tracks work better remixed eg Republic's lack-lustre singles). PPS What’s the difference between Indeep and Jacintha Saldanha? Last night a DJ saved their life. (sorry)

"Lost Sirens? Well, it’s not really lost," drummer Stephen Morris said in a statement. "I remember that Martin Hannett once had an idea of making a record and burying it in his garden, so that one day someone would dig it up, like a time capsule. We just stuck our record in a cupboard. And now we’ve got it out."

"When we did the first one ['Waiting For The Sirens Call'] we had 20 ideas for songs - we were going through a particularly prolific phase – but we couldn’t make a double concept album out of them all, so we thought we’d just do two instead," he added.

He continued: "The intention was always to write four or five more songs and then put it out 18 months or so after the first one. When we unearthed it from the cupboard recently, with the intention of re-editing some of the songs, we all agreed they didn’t actually need it, and it should just be out there. So here it is."

Maybe more like 'unheard Sirens'.. than lost....but at least it's going to be released.

or maybe so that one day Jaime Oliver would dig it up, during 'excavations' for his new restaurant?

Do we really need a 12"? I really don't! A few days ago, I wanted to buy a CD player in many stores, an asshole replied that it was better to buy a fucking Ipod. I let you imagine his head if I had asked a record player...

I know I tried it to but it was a fake, What a TEASE, it should leak online after JAN 1. All the people are busy with Christmas and New year so I doubt it is gonna leak before NYE, again it could be wrong, I can't wait to listen to the whole songs, right now all I heard was the clips and they sound very good to me.

Had the same E-Mail from Amazon.Not too bothered, I ordered it last year when I still had a turntable set up! Now I don't, so wouldn't have been able to listen anyway.I have made a NEW ORDER for the CD version which will suit me fine.

The album is almost 3 weeks away and no mention of it on NEWORDERNOW.NET and it is supposed to be their official wedsite, Very bad marketing in my opinion, they should have it on that website with some cool pictures and samples so other fans can check it out.

That's a shame. But Linus, why don't you apply to be their moderator? You're ahead of everyone with the latest news anyway and I think you'd get a kick out of it. Seriously.

I would not mind it and would love to do it but I doubt that they would let me do it anyway, thanks for mentioning it.

Maybe they don't want to publicise it too much as it could come across as a cash-in.Given the ill feeling towards "The one who left" from fans it could be a wise move, particularly because1. It isn't an album2. The songs never made it past demo stageIf what New Order say is correct though they are meeting around about now.. to discuss and maybe start writing a proper new album.In the meantime I think we should take Lost Sirens for what it is. A collection of demos carried over from the 2004 sessions which never made it onto WFTSC.

If Hellbent was a demo song then it was an AMAZING demo song, by listening to the clips of the other songs they sound good to me also.

It certainly does say something when the band won't promote an album of new material yet will go as far as appearing on BBC Breakfast to promote yet another compilation (Total) of available stuff we all already have fifteen fucking times over.

I don't think they wouldn't promote Lost Sirens because they were worried it would be a "cash-in" rather because they simply couldn't be arsed.

The level of legal and inter-band (Hook-era) politics hindering it all probably contributed to the overall apathy "We're a bunch of fat old men arguing," indeed.

Can't say I entirely blame them; it's been a farce from start to bloody finish and I suspect messrs Sumner, Hook and Morris know that.

Still, I'm looking forward to it and will approach the material with an open mind.

They're still my favourite band and that counts for a lot despite all the bullshit.
