Oh yes, my choice too, but it doesn't count as i's really a song! Gotta be Let's Go in that case.

Bad memory.. simply, hence why I put an "other" pick.. I knew I forgot some...

Avalanche, even though it isn't quite a perfect instrumental (love those backing vocals, seriously). However Here To Stay's instrumental version is a very very close second, its energy is fantastic.

No big deal. Nobody else would have voted for them anyways. Am I alone in my obsession of Other Two instrumentals? (as well as all their other songs)

I love Elegia - I think Let's Go without vocals is wierd.

Incubation is definitely an amazing song.

I'm going with "Lean to the Inside". It's a catchy instrumental. "Don't Do It" would be a close second. And then "Avalanche" even though technically there is singing in there. But really, they have TOO many good instrumentals to choose from. Pick one, any one, you can't lose! It's a win-win situation. :)

I could never decide on one. I absolutely love Best & Marsh, for a while it was one of my all time favorite New Order songs, period. I also loved Don't Do it, and the instrumental version of Vanishing Point, as well as Avalanche, Elegia, and Free Will. There is also a tiny snippet in MTO that is great, and Let's Go is of course brilliant too. Free will is a true classic as well. To put it more simply, I could never choose, they've done tons of beautiful instrumentals.
