Hard to get your head around the idea but this might mark a remarkable new start for New Order.I mean, yeah i'm being incredibly optimistic i know but it might turn out to be one of their best ever albums which would be remarkable for any band so late into their careers.Sorry, it's Saturday evening and i'm in an optimistic mood.

I'm also optimistic, but I don't expect a masterpiece really. What I really expect is a good album because two of the creative forces of the classic lineup, Sumner and Morris, plus Gillian and her ethereal keyboards, are still in the band. They are also New Order and I'm sure they can be more than Bad Lieutenant feat. The Other Two. I was in Santiago when they played "Singularity" for the first time and the song sounded pretty good even in its live debut - and to me still seemed quite New Order. So I'm sure they did a decent record.

In the music news bit on the Radcliffe & Maconie show on BBC 6Music on Tuesday they were talking about the announcement of the new album and played the Singularity snippet which Maconie described as "very EDM" which was alarming but i could see his point. I just hope the "heavy electronic sound" on the album doesn't just simply sound , even if it's great, like it could have been made by anyone .
You know I think Chemical Brothers are one of the best electronic artists to have have emerged from the house/dance scene of the 90's. Their debut album, Exit Planet Dust is 20 years old this month and still sounds great. 2010's Further was as good as that (and probably more acomplished). I'm looking forward to Born In the Echoes (out July 17th). So quite frankly I would have been happy to have even more Tom Rowlands involvement.
EDM is a term that the Americans have coined and tends to cover cheesy 'celebratory' artists like Avicii, Calvin Harris and Steve Aoiki. It's unfair to lump the Chems in with those guys. Funnily enough the Chems discussed this yesterday in an interview with the Observer.
NO have decided to make a more electronic album this time around. When was the last time the band actually sounded fresh or ahead of the game in that genre? 1987? Maybe '89? By the time of Republic, tracks like World were just about keeping pace with what was going on. I don't blame them for seeking outside help, and I wonder if they could have actually worked with other electronic people in order to keep things fresh. Artists such as Daniel Avery (best electronic/dance album of 2013 IMO) and Ghost Culture, both signed to Erol Alkan's Phantasy label spring to mind as being creative and exciting, without being "EDM".
Anyway the album is done, I guess we're in the waiting & speculation phase at the moment. Fingers crossed.

No don't get me wrong i like the Chemical Brothers a lot though have kind of lost track of them after the We Are The Night album in 2007 but i have all their albums up to and including that one. Not actually heard the more recent albums. I watched the live stream of their gig at Glastonbury last night - wow, they ( or was it just Tom Rowlands on his own last night?) were magnificent, the music and visuals were mind blowing( watch the full set here ) and it looked like the best crowd atmosphere than anything else i watched of the Glastonbury coverage all weekend i reckon. They put and still put on the best show out of all those electronic artists that emerged in the 90s ( though i've never actually never seen them live but have watched a lot of the videos like the Don't Think film) I saw Orbital a fair few times and Underworld once and their live sets though great never matched The Chemical Brothers in my opinion.Oh and there was Leftfield too but have never seen them live or saw a concert film. But anyway my point is i always thought NO's previous collaboration with the Chems, Here To Stay, sounded a bit dated and i hope Singularity won't suffer the same fate.
I'm not into that cheesy 'celebratory' EDM stuff which is why it wasn't good to hear Stuart Maconie describe Singularity as very EDM.
I did read the Observer interview with the Chems in The Observer yesterday, yeah.
Anyway like you say fingers crossed that the album will be good.

Thanks it sounds good, can't wait for the whole album, I don't know how I will get through waiting till sept to hear the whole thing, really super excited for the album.
NewOrderFan1990 wrote: New 30 second sample!!
That doesn't sound like 'Plastic', so it's actually *new* music ![[:d]](/emoticons/biggrin.gif){kind=small}
Both samples sounding pretty good to these ears, need to hear a vocal snippet next. The excitement is building........
This new one sounds good. My expectations are growing up! I think we will have a pretty good album.

Ooh, good spot. Some nice Barney-ish sounding guitar in the mix. Me Gusta! Hope you don't mind if I embed...

Ahhh...i did wonder if we'd get a second snippet as the first was titled Music Complete 1. Sounds pretty good![[:)]](/emoticons/smile.gif){kind=small}

i think Mute will do a good Campaign for the new NO album, they will probably put out a snippet every week, plus there will be remixes and B-sides also, just like how they do it with Depeche Mode.

The second clip is exactly what I was hoping for. It's perfect, can't wait. It's great to see they have something for everyone. I have a great feeling about this cd.

Do you think a deluxe edition CD will be ear marked for release next year say? Maybe containing the vinyl remixes from the box set. I've pre ordered the vinyl box set, which comes with the mp3 and HD downloads, but I was just thinking I want this on CD too. It would have been good to have this in the set, but you can't have everything. Although then it would be music complete...... ![[:p]](/emoticons/tongue.gif){kind=small}
The website said you get a download of music complete, but said nothing about get a download of the extended versions. I surely hope they do. You would think if the band went threw the time and money to make extended versions, they would like to make some money from it. A couple hundred lp's ain't going to cover it. I think we will see it on iTunes or a Japanese cd, on a later date.
Plus if they don't, then they are going to open themselves up to people pirateing the songs. I guarantee we will see it on utube the next day.
If they do offer a download of the extended versions, I will pay for the deluxe lp's. If they don't, the lp's are useless to me and I will find other ways to obtain them.
If anyone can confirm the download of the extended versions, please tell.

I think I didn't explain myself clearly in my post. The mp3 and HD downloads will just be of the standard album I am presuming. I was just wondering whether to hold off for a deluxe version of the CD, as I want to purchase this format too, which may or may not include the vinyl mixes from the box set at a later date. Sometimes deluxe CD versions are brought out not too long after the original one is released, but I suppose I can make that decision nearer the release date when we might be more informed about it.
The confirmation of the box set just states the following:
Item 1 - 1 x Music Complete - Deluxe Vinyl Box Set Item 2 - 1 x Music Complete - HD Audio Download Item 3 - 1 x Music Complete - MP3 Audio Download Item 4 - 1 x Instant Grat - Digital Track
The new teaser is brilliant too! Really getting excited and have to agree with prior posts, I think Mute will get the promotion right. They do a great job with DM and Erasure. Glad I have already ponied up for the deluxe box set....
Asked the New Order Online store if the extended mixes would be made available for download to purchasers of the box set and here's their reply:

That is great news indeed! I wasn't expecting that [:eek] so I'm quite chuffed we will be getting these on the day of release. 11 track album plus 11 mixes. You best get your order in then Jim. ![[;)]](/emoticons/wink.gif){kind=small}
Thanks for that Danimal. I can go to sleep content now.
They should have packed up this lark years ago. Family men are shit at music; until these cunts get on the hard stuff again all their material is gonna sound limp as.
Thanks... Ok I just ordered the deluxe LP. Do you think they will make us buy cd's from each country to get a bunch of bonus songs, like they did with Bad Lou?

You know they all had kids from at least 1985, right?

They are still capable of making great music even at this age and stage in life.

Now, this is predictably odd. I also asked the online store the same question a few days ago, but got this contradictory response from them today:

Hello ,
Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately the digital downloads are the only the standard versions, not the extended tracks.
I hope this helps. If there is anything else I can assist you with please let me know.
Thanks,
Avril
Your Warner Music Customer Service Team"
I will reply and get them to double check...
