New Order best opening bars

time change - the intro is really fresh

I always imagine sun rays shooting through the clouds when I hear the start of "Your Silent Face". Spacey.

Well, I was thinking of the live performances.

Ya, I guess they never use(d) it in live performances, but why?:\ohwell:

It's a studio enhancement, probably thanks to Hannett (enhanettment ?), nobody would have had a free hand to play it live back then except Ian and he wasn't doing anything like that, it would have been a lot of trouble for a pretty small payback. It is cool though, those sounds that run through the track, fairly subtle but they do a lot to flesh out a very sparse arrangement.

Someone Like U

So many of the songs have fantastic openings - even the likes of Blue Monday, BLT, Perfect Kiss. The Cobweb vote goes to Ceremony though.

At a pinch, Dream attack: the perfect way to end Technique.

Fine Time - bass how low can you go
