Bought "Republic"...

Originally posted by Spotnick And btw guys.. there is lots of bass on Regret ;)

Just been watching part of Shug's video of Montreaux, it's quite funny watching Hooky conjure up a bassline to Ruined in a Day !

The best one IMHO is the minimix, ie the single version... and video version.

I like the Out of Order Mix, Stadium Mix, New Order in Heaven.

I don't actually think I've ever seen the video.

The video's shit - two guys in it, one who looks like Spud off Trainspotting. Starts b&w with a cardboard box on this guy's head, goes colour towards the end. Supposedly some speed/acid-fuelled journey somewhere. Crap.

Sounds pretty bad. The other videos for Republic weren't wonderful either, although I believe some people like the World video.

The World video isn't bad, cute how they managed to get the band in cameos....works better with the Perfecto edit though

Originally posted by Spotnick Define "a good video" ?True Faith?Honestly, videos in Republic were ok, Regret, RIAD and World were all nice.. Spooky, well, the band didn't want that release, and it started the "no New Order" videos..

Perfect Kiss ?

For what it's worth - Liar represents a time when NO were as lame as they have ever been. Republic sank from being a bad NO album to simply a good album compared with other artists, and that is just not on, given the quality of their work leading up to this release. Ironic, as I rank Regret in the top 5 NO songs of all time. Thank God that for GR, Barn rediscovered his guitar, Hooky his patented bass and put an end to the Erasure-like bilge that was the second half of Republic. As always, an opinion only. And opinions are never wrong, just different CTB
