it's probably been asked before but i remember reading an article that said Republic was to contain a track called Techno 2. Did this track become something else or did it just not surface?:shrug:

thanks

This was page 3 news in the NME in 93 - the very first notification that New Order were back with Republic, and that they were doing their first gig in 4 years at the Peace Together festival. Seem to remember Barney was pictured in fur-lined hooded coat, cross-armed, looking very [ahem] 'street'?

Techno 2 was probably renamed? I think the NME piece had lots of other inaccuracies in it though. Regret was called Regrets, I seemed to remember, and they said all New Order's releases were due out on their own imprint label under London records, called Manchester records, which obviously never happened.

I've got the article at home somewhere, I'll scan it in.

I think Techno 2 became Spooky, if that's any help. There was a thread a while back about alternate song titles, the answer should be there.

Yeah, thats where i read it. i also seem to recall it was listed on the Mac won in that competition?

just think how much money they could have made if they'd released Republic on thier own label.... nah, they would have probably fucked it up!

I don't know where Sébastien got his info back then, but World was called "The Price of Love" and Republic was called "Everyone, Everywhere"....

I seem to also recall that "Techno 2" was also the working title for "Chemical", although "Spooky" was often mooted as the track it eventually became....

Another working title - "Identify" - was also mentioned in that same NME page 3 news article - but which track did that one become, anyone?

This time Seb wasn't joking with you, I also recall "Republic" being named as "Everyone, Everywhere" a few months before its release.
