haha posts mean prizes!
I'd go for TPK. Never really fancied TTON on record, but it sounds great live! TPK though, doubt much can touch it

And another post for me, trying to reach 100 today!
TPK every time!
As in taken from Low-Life? This Time Of Night,TPK is one of my favs but the edit doesn't do it justice.
Three words: The. Perfect. Kiss.
[...that and, I've never heard the 12" TPK! *pout* I'm more familiar with the 8-minute version *guessing that's the single version?* and the video version *which is the BEST!!* but I've never heard the 12". Or maybe I had but never noticed? Help!!]
I absolutely love both songs, but Perfect Kiss had to beat This Time of Night for me. Especially the extended version off of Substance-in my opinion that version is so much better than the shorter version off of Low-Life and International. Perfect Kiss seems so much more intricate and intense, although This Time of Night really moves me also. Perfect Kiss is definitely in my top 5 New Order songs-so dancy, so intense and intricate. I love how fast-paced it is-especially towards the end after the singing is done. I must confess that I really don't like the video version of the song nearly as much as the studio versions. This Time of Night is really a very cool, very new wavy song packed full of emotion and almost has as much cool danceability as Perfect Kiss. Perfect Kiss is a 10 on a scale of 1-10 for me. This Time of Night ended up scoring a 9.

The 8 minute version,is the 12" version-albeit with nearly a minute edited out to fit on the Substance CD. Thats the original one,the way it was written. The version on Low-Life is an edit which for most people completely ruins it.
Never understood why the full mix wasn't on lowlife...

Coolness, Steve! Thank you many times a plenty for the explanation on what is, hands down, my favorite New Order song of all time. *grin*
Yep, I love the 'Substance' version [that should've SOOO been a single... 
], and even more the 9:21 video. Classic. And the video is my favorite video of all time, too.

The nearly 9 minute one is the 12" version. The 8 min one is edited to fit Substance.
The 7" edit version is about 4 mins and the Low Life album version that a lot of people are mentioning on this thread is just under 5 mins
Class song, but none of the versions are as great as This Time of Night (A song that doesn't need 20 different edits) 
Ahh, you beat me to it, Steve.
Maybe I should have finished reading the thread before I replied :\ohwell:
