Can't Afford is an excellent track - I've got the original Factory 12 inch of that, and it's a classic slab of pre-House dance music :)
Hmm, think I might need to dig it out :)
This "Be Music" thing is interesting but it took some time for me to understand that it could be any New Order member producing other artists, like Barney producing Section 25 or Hooky producing Stockholm Monsters or even Steve & Gillian producing Thick Pigeon.
Thanks for the info mate, I'll buy it at Darla as soon as it's out! :)
looking forward to this greatly.... been many years since I've heard any of these tunes - what a great slice of pre-Xmas compile action!

It's on the various artists CD compilation Moving Soundtracks (Volume 1) on Les Disques Du Crepuscule. I believe this disc came out in the summer of 1991.
It's credited to Be Music as "Theme (Hommage a MGM)". The songwriting credit is (New Order)(Copyright Control). The liner notes describe the other tracks' artists and films in which the songs were used. For Theme, the liner notes simply state "In a parallel universe Be Music are known as New Order."

It is a great track, though I prefer 'Cool as Ice' after which the compilation is named. This CD collects some of the great 'lost' fragment of the Factory dance thang.
