What´s your favourite Movement song?

Senses gets my vote. Among the many reasons is the recording process used. NewOrder, much like the Beatles, has never been afriad to try something new in the studio, and Senses is a prime example of that creativity.

Got to be Truth, one of my all time No faves. The keyboards, guitar and most of all that sinister throbbing drum machine with Barney's vocal just really work well. Chosen time, dreams never end and senses are all high points on what I believe is a very complete album very much of it's time.

Dreams Never End closely followed by Chosen Time.

Someone else wrote....

'I'd say "Dreams Never End" as well, I like the vocals, and I like the beat. It's the only song on the album that sounds a thing like New Order, and not a bad imitation of Joy Division.'

This attitude really annoys me. Movement sounds exactly like NO as they were at that time. It wasn't like we listened to it in 1981 and though 'eh, hang on, where's the poppy electronic dance numbers' !!!

You can't judge albums retrospectively based on what they did after. We expected (demanded even) that they sounded like JD as we didn't want that band to die. To that end songs like 'Doubts Even Here' fitted the bill exactly.

So from my perspective, Movement is not the abberation, if anything it's the later stuff that I don't consider to be 'my' NO, it's like they became a different band.

My 2 all-time favourite New Order songs are CHOSEN TIME and PROCESSION - So yes, I voted for Chosen Time here. I think Barney is too critical of this early period of New Order's career, the songs are powerfull and stark with amazing lyrics and a subtle vocal delivery. Some later works don't really compare ("cough" World In Motion).

definitely Dreams Never End. it's fabulous and fun and has incredible lyrics.

I take it you don't like it much. My vote goes to Chosen Time.

DNE by some distance.

New Order sounds like Joy Division till today.Cause they were Joy Division and it seems obvious to think that put some pop in the songs but they are still as beautiful as they were in the joy Division´s days.

Originally posted by Chris I voted for 'Doubts Even Here' - reason being that I love the balance between the 'singing' and Gillian's poetry recital. It's been copied many times since.I love 'Movement' as a whole, even though most of you have slated it, as have New Order themselves - I truly believe it will, in the future, be regarded as a somewhat 'glossed over' classic that should be revisited as an example of interesting producion and songs that actually fit together on an album, if you see what I mean.

Chris, I love you, the words you've spoken are right out of my heart too! And 'Dreams never end' is one of the best openers of an album that I ever heard!

Doubts Even Here got my vote. Wonderful song. Truth is also way up there, along with Chosen Time. Dreams Never End is quite good too, although it's different than most of the songs on the album.
