Music Complete box set release
Archived86 replies · 82,971 views
5 weeks & 2 days.
It would be nice if they'd release a few songs in the meantime to help pass the time. I reckon 11 should just about do it. And maybe a few remixes.
What's that? Oh...

The boxed set has long versions of the tracks on Music Complete right?
It also contains a download code. Is the download of the extended versions? I want the extended versions but don't have a turntable anymore.

Anyone who purchases the box set gets a download of the standard album, in both mp3 format and lossless FLAC, via an email link.
The download code included in the box is for the extended versions.

The download was just the album, not the extended mixes.People who had pre ordered the box set were emailed the MP3 and HD download links for just the album last Friday on album release day (though it wasn't an entirely smooth operation, lots of people reported problems etc).There may or may not a download code of the extended mixes inside the box set upon receiving it- the details on NewOrder Now store only says that the extended mixes will be over 6 pieces of vinyl.No mention of a digital versions download link.
Seems to be endless confusion about this box set and the extended mixes, getting rather fed up of it now.

I checked with Mute a while back who confirmed that the extended mixes would be available via a download code included in the box. I think I mentioned it in one of the album threads back then. ![[:)]](/emoticons/smile.gif){kind=small}

Oh ok, fair enough.Thanks for the info.
It would be crazy if the extended versions were only available with, or on the vinyl. I find it hard to believe that they won’t be issued in the other formats even if sometime after the vinyl. (I hope not too long after though)
Otherwise you would have to buy the vinyl which is useless without a turntable, or if you find vinyl is a hassle, to get the code. ![[ohwell]](/emoticons/ohwell.gif){kind=small}
I’m trying to downsize.

Well, i'd be very surprised if there isn't torrents or whatever available of them with in an hour or two or even sooner of folks receiving the box set.They'll be up on Soulseek in no time. I might give the discs one spin but will probably just listen to the digital versions.I've gone off vinyl a bit lately.I never seem to be able to get my stylus completely clear of fluff despite using the special cleaning fluid and the brush.Same goes for the vinyl discs; i use the special cleaning fluid and cloth to clean the disc before play but halfway through one side of an album the sound becomes dreadful again as dust and fluff just inevitably still magically appear from somewhere. And you have to be so careful taking discs out of the sleeve and handling them.Having said all that i am waiting on delivery of Get Ready and Republic on vinyl!
Exactly, why tempt us?
A sheep on the stylus, we used to call it. The annoyance of greasy fingerprints and the first little scratch. Trying not to move too fast in case the needle jumps, having to get up at the same point in the song where it sticks every time to nudge it on etc.
I lent my LP of “Hard Days Night” to someone who stored it for a while on top of a radiator. Aargh!
Using the purchase as an excuse to purchase a turn table. Planning to take the vinyl to me mate's house where he will play them and record it on disc for me. But with the advent of the download I may skip visiting him...then again he has a lot of homebrew.
Not wanting to piss on anyone's chips here, but... In the long track-by-track Radio X interview with Bernard (get the podcast on itunes as per the Jo Wiley/Radio 2 thread), he says "Only some of the tracks will be extended". I thought it might be worth a mention.
...actually he may be saying that only some of the tracks sound better in extended format. Listen from 1.03 to 1.05 on the itunes podcast.

Yeah i picked up on that too.But then he did seem slightly clueless about the box set, like i think he said he had no idea when it was coming out.
Well the summary of the items in the store states the following:
"Extended versions of all 11 brand new tracks on 6 pieces of vinyl".
If this isn't the case I think we'll have grounds for a discount or refund.
I'm sure it will be fine.
It was a joke… saying that some of the shorter versions were better, so go buy the normal album now… don't wait for the extended versions.
Although, I wouldn't bet against the extended versions hitting a (double) cd now, after hearing that interview… but they'd have to wait 'till the box sets are in people's hands.
I just popped over to the New Order Store and it now says the box will be released 11/20/15....at this rate I'm wondering if it'll be out before their next best of release ( not counting the Singles reissue of course ).
its not that hard to transfer vinyl. and its not that complicated either with some basic equipment.
the boxset is a bonus. if they want to them on digital or cd, they would say so.
theres a lot of vinyl only mixes for new order (rember the 12x12 set)
anyways, i can wait. the boxset is definitely worth it, even as an art piece.

I’ve ordered the boxset and I’m feeling a bit baffled by this statement that there will be extended versions of all 11 tracks over 6 12” singles
- That’s 12 sides of vinyl - so what will be on the 12th side?
- Hard to see how some of these will be extended as virtually every song on the standard release already feels like an extended version.
I won’t be complaining if they are all longer versions, but my main gripe with the standard album is that it’s too long! ![[:d]](/emoticons/biggrin.gif){kind=small}

Nothing. One disc is one sided black vinyl with the other side being etched.
"8 piece deluxe vinyl collection. New album on double clear vinyl. Extended versions of all 11 brand new tracks on 6 pieces of vinyl. Coloured vinyl 12”s plus 1 sided black etched vinyl. Packaged in an archival acid free box, using 1300 micron grey white board and a wire stitch. Box is debossed on the lid and base".

I would bet on the black vinyl being Singularity!

I reckon a really long intro on an extended Superheated would be really cool.Kind of in the vein of Thieves Like Us, a long 3 minute intro before Bernard starts singing.

Hope the box set is more 'arty' than the sparse (sorry, minimalist) '12 page booklet'.
I love the idea of extended mixes generally, when done well, and I wish they'd put out "in-house" 12" mixes of singles on the vinyl single b-sides rather than the commissioned rubbish. But listening to Music Complete, which I'm really loving, I can't really see how the can extend some of the tracks effectively. "Tutti Frutti" for example I really like, but seems to be timed perfectly. By just before the last chorus I'm convinced the song should end and they throw the last one out. But I guess we'll just see what happens :)
negative1 wrote: its not that hard to transfer vinyl. and its not that complicated either with some basic equipment.
It is complicated, and time consuming, and expensive in equipment terms (assuming you don't already have it), if you want to do it *well*. Assuming the label haven't cocked it up, a download code is a MUCH better way to get a digital copy of the mixes, and you'll get something in higher fidelity than the vinyl pressing to boot. Heck I wish they put download codes in CD cases, even ripping CDs is a pain in the arse imho, and can go wrong, and can give you the wrong results without you knowing. (Much amusement at the recent complaining about CDs with pre-emphasis)

Yes the booklet felt like a cheap pile of photocopies.
Just received an email which states:
"The deluxe vinyl box set is still available to pre-order and stock should be shipping in a couple of weeks. Don’t forget, 200 random orders from the store will be signed by the band so order now to be in with a chance to receive a signed copy".
A couple of weeks?
Are we getting it early?

all you really need is a USB turntable, like this: https://www.ionaudio.com/products/details/classic-lp
and connect up to your computer.
these are new records, so you don't have to worry about noise, rumble, crackle, etc.
and if there is some, the basic audio software (audicity), or soundforge will do the job.
i've been doing this for several years now (see the recycle 2 project), or for many other groups with much poorer sources, and the results have been very good.

If you've managed to get good results with equipment like that, my congratulations to you, because I haven't. In the last year I digitised roughly 100 records, mostly old classical. I started the project with a Numark PT-01 which is a slightly more upmarket version of the Ion turntable pictured there, but the audio quality was too poor for my ears. The records I was digitising were old, scratchy and dusty, but my reference was a second pressing Blue Monday, and I did a bunch of my own stuff at the same time: the three "Jewel" 7" releases by the Cranes, and a couple of brand new LPs; in all cases I was not happy with the audio that the USB turntable could produce. It was a good enough audio interface, however, and it has a line-in, so I ended up using it with my old Dual turntable, Autofon stylus running through an old Rotel combined amp, then line out to the PT-01, then USB to the laptop + audacity for post-processing. That did the job, but the post-processing is still time consuming (especially with 100 records! At least with classical stuff, there are not very many track splits to manage) and requires some skill.
Honestly, faced with doing 11 sides of vinyl for a 2015 album that way, versus a download that might even be 2496 but even if it isn't will be higher fidelity than the vinyl source, and is literally a click of a button away, I just don't see the point.
I haven't checked out the Recycle 2 project yet, but I must give it a look - thanks. That reminds me, I need to fill some holes in my Recycle #1 collection...
In hmv again today, two weeks in a row, just in case of anything unexpected - well you never know. Stranger things have happened. The vinyl of Music Complete is now a double vinyl LP - no sign of the single vinyl LP from last week. The artwork is a slightly different colour scheme, and of course there was no info on the album or any stickers on the shrink wrap, as to what is on the second disc? are they two one sided discs, and what could be the reason for that? The CDs were just the same as last week with the same colours as the single vinyl album that has now vanished, in fact I’m wondering if its possible that last week I imagined that they were the same colour and didn’t notice it was double vinyl. Or did they change the lighting in the vinyl section? It’s all very confusing. Give me the download any day. (not that I have, or intend to get another turntable)
Managed to get the video of Restless live onto my phone though, so I don’t have to be parted from it - you could say I’m besotted. If you don’t add any artwork, it creates its own artwork as a home video, but if you add artwork, it just gives you a little grey box. 😕 iTunes glitches I guess.

Hi all.
I've been a New Order fan ever since I first heard the opening beats of Blue Monday in 1983 - even though I had a copy of Donna Summer's Bad Girls and recognised the drum beat they'd nicked. I went on to buy every New Order 12" I could get my hands on until the 90s and I continued with Cd singles for a good while after that. My favourite New Order album is Substance - so I'm obviously pretty excited about the box set and associated 12" versions.
The thing is, I don't play vinyl any more and £65.00 plus £50.00 postage to Australia is a lot of money to spend on something I'm never going to physically use. The online store shows no sign of making HD downloads of the extended versions available independently of the vinyl box set, and although I know I could wait til they show up online and pirate them, I really want to do the right thing and pay for the music I love.
I'm wondering if there's anyone on here who's ordered the vinyl and doesn't want the HD files who might be interested in selling me their download codes? I'm not sure if anyone will be interested, or if this is even legal, but it seems a better alternative than acquiring the files from The Pirate Bay. Any takers?

I'm in your boat too, plumbat. Right down to the taking up of the band from the opening beats of Blue Monday. Melbourne's AM radio 3XY I believe it was.
I have forked out that small fortune for box set and shipping down under. That's the price of love.
I'm sure we'll find a way of ensuring the extended HD files are available in good time.

Seriously considered it, but I really love this album so I guess I just have to cough up the $$$ if I want legitimate copies - I ordered the box set this morning.
That said, if anyone were to upload the extended files somewhere while I'm waiting for my download code to arrive in Australia by snail mail, I could be tempted...
Not sure if this has been mentioned already but the box set is dropping on Amazon Nov 27
I thought it was a NO store exclusive?

Yeah I've got the set thanks. I just noticed that the NO store was sold out. Amazon is too. Even stores like Piccadilly Records in Manchester. They seem to be appearing on ebay now for around £100.
If anyone is still looking for international + shipping, there are many copies for sale at the Tower Records in Shibuya (Tokyo).
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year folks!
Santa Claus was kind enough to give me the box set for Christmas. I already have the clear edition double vinyl LP, which I've opened, so I'm planning to sell on the sealed regular LP from the box set and put my opened up one in its place.
Can anyone please confirm for me whether the regular LP in the box set is the clear edition?
Finally I have a download card from the box set that only gives me the extended mixes. Can anyone confirm whether the regular LP in the box set contains another download card with the regular album?
(I'd rather confirm these things without unsealing the regular LP)
I must say after reading people's opinions of the box so far I am very happy with it, the staples don't bother me (hearing the explanation someone posted here as to the design ethic helped). This is my first deluxe edition LP purchase of any kind (still upset that I passed on this back in the day: http://ghosts.nin.com/images/popup\_product\_ultradeluxe.jpg)
Thanks!

Yep it's the clear vinyl edition inside the box set but i don't know if the catalogue number is the same as the clear vinyl released on 25th Sept.I guess it would be but not sure.Yeah there is a sticker on the inside sleeve for the first disc which has a download code for the regular album.I hadn't bothered looking it up as i have the download in mp3 and HD from back in September on release day.I just went to look it ip just out of interest to see if it is in FLAC as well as mp3 and it is.
discogs says they are the same:

Still there as of today.
A week ago, I was in Berlin at the store Dussmann, bought for 109 euros. There was still 3 pieces. http://www.kulturkaufhaus.de/
Piccadilly Records: LP Box Set is now available to order: http://www.piccadillyrecords.com/prod/NewOrder-MusicCompleteLimitedVinylBoxSetEdition-Mute-106754.html
The box set has appeared on distribution lists now (in the UK) for general shop sales.
So shops can order it in if they want.
as mentioned from a different thread...

however, that might be a problem, if its all the extended versions..
since they add up to 87 minutes..... so unless they press it on a cd with extra space (doubtful).
they will have to cut one song.
or.....
since the album is only 65 minutes long... they could stick one of the mixes there, or 2....

I imagine the 2CD set would feature the extended tracks from the vinyl boxset release, not the standard tracks.

that's my point, there isn't enough time for the extended tracks and the album on 2cd.
cd and extended
1 regular album 65 minutes 2 extended tracks 87 minutes
wouldn't work.
or, maybe, its just the extended tracks split across 2 cd's?
extended tracks
1 5 tracks 2 6 tracks
who knows?

So what you're saying is the 2CD set would only feature the extended mixes? Where'd you get that crazy idea?

if you look at the original speculation, that's what IT COULD BE.
i didn't say IT WAS......
what else would be on the 2nd disc? live tracks? or maybe some of the released mixes from various cd singles.

Seems to me like it'll just be the extended mixes over 2 CDs.It won't have the standard album included.A bit like The Rest Of didn't have any of the tracks from The Best Of.And the title is 'Music Complete:Extended'.That to me says it's just the extended versions.

I haven't learned that written sarcasm isn't as effective as when spoken.

Hmmm....not sure about this. First of all the Box Set was meant to be ltd exclusive, but they started popping up everywhere. Now the exclusive box set content, the extended mixes are going to be released on shiny coasters. I can't help feeling that this has somehow devalued the box set slightly for me. First the staples, now this! Well only kidding about the staples hehe!

Yeah, I think this is just the Extended Versions (previously download-only with the box set) spread over two discs. The box is likely "out of print" now, so this won't technically compete with that, at least not in Mute's mind.
Fantastic news, I hope it happens (waited long enough grr). Gimme the shiny coasters anytime

I asked Mute if this was going to be available in the UK and for any info and they just messaged me stating "stay tuned for more details". I expect something will be announced pretty soon.

Interestingly, that amazon link is now dead. It used to have a release date of 13 May, list 2 discs, etc. Now it's just very vague and it reads "currently unavailable."
There is still a preorder link here, though, at JPC: https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/poprock/detail/-/art/new-order-music-complete-extended/hnum/2342598
I'm guessing a formal announcement and new preorder links are probably coming soon...
I note that the official New Order Facebook page posted a new multi-coloured version of the Music Complete sleeve yesterday as their profile picture
Could be the proposed sleeve for Complete Music?

I think it's more likely that it's the colours used in the Glastonbury poster released yesterday.
I was right!
Just had the email from New Order HQ and that is the artwork.
Sadly it IS just the Extended mixes from the Vinyl boxset, but they are teasing us with mention of alternate extended versions of Nothing But A Fool and Superheated, so the music completists (see what I did there?) will have to buy it anyway...
Hello!
We’re extremely pleased to announce the release of Complete Music, a brand new edition of our album Music Complete.
Due to overwhelming demand, we’re making the extended versions from the limited edition vinyl box set available on CD, download and available to stream for the first time.
Apart from 'Singularity (Extended Mix)’ which was included on the single release, this is the first time these mixes are available outside of the box set (the extended versions of ‘Restless’ and ‘Tutti Frutti’ which have been released were alternative mixes).
Complete Music is released on 13th May. Available to pre-order now.
Featuring alternative artwork from Peter Saville and housed in a cardboard slipcase, Complete Music is released as a 2 CD set and as standard and hi-res audio downloads. Both the physical and digital editions also include the original album. Pre-order now and you’ll receive downloads of both ‘The Game (Extended Mix)’ and ‘Singularity (Extended Mix)’ ahead of release date.

Browsing music box sets the other day i noticed Daft Punk had done a deluxe box for their Random Access Memories album back in 2013.I do have the album on vinyl but hadn't been aware they'd released a limited edition of 2,500 of a deluxe box set edition.Anyone got one of these? Don't think i'd buy one even if there were any still for sale , at £175 a shot i just couldn't justify it.And that's before import prices and posting which could knock up your bill to getting on for £270 apparently if you're in the uk.Wow.
It does look an incredible box set and i have to be honest makes the Music Complete box set look a bit cheap and nasty! Sorry.All sorts of wonderful and expensive looking things in the Daft Punk one including Gold and Silver plated USBs of the album and videos,

Would i shell out £175 plus postage if it was New Order? ....hmmmm.... really don't know.
