A few comments...
- Simply "Complete" would have been a better title. "Music Complete" sounds like a bit of a Kraftwerk ("Musique Non Stop") or even Chemical Brothers ("Music:Response") rip-off.
- The snippet on YouTube reminds me of "Here To Stay."
- I like the fact that it's primarily being self-produced. They have not done that since "Technique."
- It's somewhat amusing that it's being marked as the first album WITH Gillian versus the first album WITHOUT Hooky. ;-)

I skimmed through it.

My apologies. I did not see the last page of the thread. I was just so excited to hear the news. It has been a long wait!
Music Complete makes it sound like it's their last album. Other than that (and I hope it's not!) exciting all around
Great news! Looking at the super-mega-vinyl box pre-order...postage to Australia will be a killer sadly :(

If anything deserves its own thread it's the title of the new album.
Great new especially for vinyls lovers such as myself. The same excitement I felt prior to the release of GR. Let's hope the expectations are met, expect a few one off shows robe announced soon. I bet these will sell out immediately like the Troxy where I had to pay double the face value to get a ticket, as much as the vinyl box set!

One track - Superheated.

If a new album doesn't warrant its own thread I don't know what does.
65 quid? That's more than I earn in an hour. Don't give a fuck about titles or artwork, just the music. PLEASE don't be another Republic / RTP disco wankfest.

Yeah, fair point.

Ha! Keeping it real as usual. I used to wonder if you were related to Bob Monkhouse but now I'm thinking maybe Jack Dee.
No that keen on the artwork if i'm honest but let's see what the music is like.Think i like it even less than the WFTSC "No" artwork though the original one with the girl in the river that was shelved because of the Tsunami i did like and it was a shame they didn't go with that one.The last sleeve that truly blew me away was the Low Life one.Saville never really topped that one for me.
Don't really have a problem with the title. I don't mind it.
Do yea think there will be downloads of the extended versions if you buy the 99.99 edition? Which by the way extended versions of all 11 tracks, I did not see that coming!

Peter Saville really blew it in 2001 with Smiths-like packaging of Get Ready and the singles. This one reminds me of the Windows-95 Paintbrush: we used to doodle such things out of boredom. I know that point is ridiculous but still, really??
JG wrote: Keep an eye out for more new New Order news, er, soon.
When is the tour then? I am getting Old and want to see them sooner than you think! Tell them Tatton Community Centre is free.Thanks JG...hope to see you again....regards Rocking Chair.
Does anyone know, if you order the £65 vinyl box set from the New Order store, will they take the money from your account now, or just prior to despatch?

Once a design professor of a University from Rio de Janeiro who is a big Saville's fan explained in a forum the "possible message" behind the artwork of "Get Ready". It was something like "the image (and even the band) doesn't matters, just pay attention to the music". There's some elements in the artwork that suggests this. We have a top model on the front cover (Nicolette Krebitz), but she got an anti-glamorous / anti-fashioned style and ruined clothes; she's also filming instead to be filmed / photographed as usual for a model; and there's no band's name or identification, just a red bar. Conceptually nothing to do with Smiths really.

No i'm pretty sure the money won't be taken before the album's despatched, that's usually how these things work.I've ordered the deluxe and no sign of the money gone out of my account yet and am sure it won't til the album's released.
Bought my box set last night for a robust $115 in the US. Very excited by the promo and the hope that comes with a new release. What makes it better, in theory, for me is the 11 tracks, plus 11 extended mixes/versions of them. I think about how tight the 4 minute version of TPK is and then how glorious the full version is, and can only hope we are getting serious extended versions. Plus, one can hope for one of the 200 signed boxes....![[:d]](/emoticons/biggrin.gif){kind=small}
Additionally, does anyone else think the teaser is Singularity? I listened to the live version again against the teaser and think it is. Or is it just me?

Correcto, Aracri.....I recalled reading somewhere that Peter Saville explained the idea behind the GR artwork - that New Order fans have a unique way of identifying the band's items, almost like having their own language.... therefore by having no words on the album cover, instead inserting a red bar or green bar is effective enough to reach out to the fans.
By the way Nicolette Krebitz is def not a 60s or 70s icon, so no way Saville's taking any cues from The Smiths cover art....![[:)]](/emoticons/smile.gif){kind=small}

Thank you for that. I know that's usually the way companies such as Amazon etc work but I was a bit unsure with this one. I wanted a bit of flexibility seeing as the release is still 3 months away. I'm going to order it now then because I would love to be lucky enough to get a signed copy so there's no point ordering it from anywhere else. I note some places such as Rough Trade are advertising the vinyl box set but there's no price listed on that specific item yet, whereas there is with all other formats? It will be interesting to see.

Oh Lord. I just read this with regards to the deluxe box set:
"All orders receive Music Complete HD and MP3 digital files on the official release date 25th September.
THE ACTUAL BOX SET WILL DISPATCH EARLY NOVEMBER.
Instant grat download of first single available in August.
Please note: Price does not include postage and packing."
So this makes it over 4 months away now. And if the first single's dropping in August, I suppose they're going to be taking money from us before this?
I've ordered it anyway.
Interestingly, I selected courier delivery at £4.70 and I was only charged £3.95. Bargain!
Edit: And yes, they took the money straight from my account, which I'm now slightly narked about seeing as I won't be seeing anything for my money for a while.

Ah bugger yer right. Hadn't freakin noticed either that the box set isn't til November! Bummer. And have also just found out the money has been taken from my account too. Was not expecting that. A bit naughty that.
