"New Odour". ? Does he mean they stink? If yes, funny that this comes from the person in the band that always looked like he needed a shower.

Hardly, both Bernard and Steve totally embraced the new technology, and Bernard was responsible for most of the innovation in their use of technology, from the bubbling sound on These Days to EGG, arpeggiators and all kinds of weirdness.

"Also, Bernard and Stephen's interest in technology really bloomed from 1982. I was the old stick-in-the-mud saying 'can't we just rock out?'

Yeah I'm no expert but this makes sense to me. When Melody Maker's Paul Lester wasn't wanking over Thieves Like Us he did a massive masturbatory article http://www.neworderonline.com/Common/Topic.aspx?Topic=Article031 and Hooky says it was really Bernard who was into the technology, Hooky himself who was into rocking. As Claud Flowers' book points out, it's no coincidence that 'Electronic' is synth with supporting guitars, 'One True Passion' the opposite formula. You get the same impression from the Glasgow DVD interview with Pete.

Or Sugarcane, that pile of sub-One Direction wank. Oh joy.

Excerpt:
“I think the main reason for this was that all three of us were becoming more and more interested in electronics — particularly sequencers and synthesizers,” Hook said. “You can hear the beginnings of this on ‘Closer,’ the final Joy Division record. So when it came to New Order, it was only natural that our interests in electronics would continue to grow and that this would then show itself in our new music.”
This article says, 'New Order was originally Joy Division.' Fucking hell, another scoop. You learn a new thing every day. Thank you for that.
