The song sounds pretty good, synth.

“I knew it wouldn’t be a hit in that event,” sighs Reade. “We salvaged things but it didn’t correspond to my vision at all. Hooky (Peter Hook) came in and remixed the whole track; it felt like a drastic haircut and sounded a bit disco when he’d finished. He put my voice through a Vocoder so the words couldn’t be distinguished. The sleeve was a bit state-of-the-art for its time. Each one had a hologram of a spaceship stuck to it. I’d managed to get a job lot of these holograms cheap. I called the band Ad Infinitum, inspired by something Tony had typed on the envelope of one of his letters.” - Lins Numero Uno Ad Infinitum

I think there were rumours that Ad Infinitum WAS New Order...?
