Music Complete

So the album is out in Japan (release date got pulled back to 22/09)

Subsequently the album has leaked online. It's not hard to find either.

Listening!

I'm surprised how more reviews aren't calling out how DISCO this record is? For nearly 20 minutes between "Plastic" and "People on the High Line" we cover everything from Moroder to Chic. Obviously New Order have definitely embraced house music before but this is the first record where Bernard seems to finally be paying homage to the some of the key inspirations that brought him to dance music in the first place.

Listening to it right now. Those reviewers were right, it's their best since Technique!

Wow, album runs out of gas half way through. "Academic" couldn't be more appropriately titled.

Still, first five tracks are easily the best things they've done in ages.

New Order site emailed me saying they mailed the cd. but still no download.

The whole album is on Youtube now, which makes it easy to listen to. Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYPsRgFn5c4vwr5C9KxvKuXxVdnJXFkkH
