Our cover story finds Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Gillian Gilbert and Stephen Morris recalling the early days of New Order. The four principals take us from messy beginnings in insalubrious Manchester rehearsal rooms to the brink of international stardom via New York nightclubs, wintry European cities and a 1932 exhibition poster by the Italian Futurist artist Fortunato Depero. Along the way, we meet the mysterious Witchdoctors Of Zimbabwe, a Hell’s Angel with a taste for LSD and learn about a particularly wild run-in with Britt Ekland’s brother. There are revelations, humour and – nearly 40 years on – great wisdom from New Order’s original members.

“It’s always been about the future,” Sumner says. “Right from the early days of Joy Division, I always had a nagging thought in the back of my head: wouldn’t it be fabulous if you could move music forward?”

The time of the season to be grateful for New Order and Joy Division is here again. Thanks to JD/NO for not wearing hats or suspenders when playing live or not having on stage hammers , cow skulls, axes, bludgeons and for not wearing make-up ,eyeliner, and long fuzzy wigs or blowing kisses at the crowds. Thanks for not wearing satin spandex tights while not wearing shirts and prancing around on stage, and thanks for not being anything like other popular bands

Was reading this on the way into work this morning, quite a good, indepth feature, better than the sort of stuff that other magazines aimed at the, lets we say, 'more mature music listener' do these days (and better than yet another story on the soddin' Beatles). No mention of what we can expect next, but any NO is better than no NO (or the aforementioned Beatles).
