The NO Cup First Round - TOUCHED BY THE HAND OF GOD vs VANISHING POINT

Poll closes 8pm GMT Monday 13th March 2006.

touched has reached vanishing point in the very first round

The Salvation version of Touched is probably the best one but Vanishing Point along with a couple other tracks is the best Technique ever gets.

Touched! by a mile!

Let alone for Barney's comment on the "foot of God" in Berlin.

I've always felt Vanishing Point is overrated. Its a great track but not one I can listen to regularly without getting bored. Gets my vote though, because Touched has always felt like a pisstake to me, even before I saw the video. Its not a bad song but its likely to lose to anything from Technique.

The memories connected with vanishing point are better than the ones connected with TBTHOG...

Oh why, oh why, oh why? I love both songs.

Touched hasn't aged well... Althought the way Barney pronounces 'sexual' is still genius! VP, as someone already said, is one of the (many) high points of Technique... One of my favourite NO choruses...

Vanishing Point, definitely. Touched by the Hand of God I like, but it is very dated.

Although I love Touched By The Hand Of God, Vanishing Point is pure New Order Bliss.

vanishing point is a cracking song. TBTHOG is entertaining, but not one of NO's strongest efforts.

this is an easy one.

Keeping your ballot secret then, Ronald?

VP by a mile.

At the time everything NO touched seemed godlike. VP was featured extensively on BBC comedy drama "Making Out", they did the the theme tune to "Best & Marsh", and then came WiM.

If Regret had come two years earlier than it did and if the band had stayed together during the 90s then I have no doubt that they would have achieved the global, mega stardom Wilson always states would have been Joy Division's.

Still, maybe that wasn't such a bad thing...

Once again, Touched is the one song that I've found myself skipping whenever it comes up on the player.

I wonder how we would be voting if Touched was not played at every gig on the Get Ready tour.

True. Overexposure has killed a decent tune in TBTHOG. Does anyone actually look forward to hearing it in sets anymore?

It certainly killed it for me. Plus the fact they changed the bass sequencer part to make it just this thumping bass sound now. Can't listen to it, so glad it got binned after Old Trafford.

feel your heartbeat lose the rhythm. he can't touch the worLd we live in.

by miles and miles. so agreed here. toss around the superlatives. ' made touching genius at times look so easy. Hand of God is good. very good at times. come to you some day. but Vanishing Point is perfect. always. the piano, the..

VP for me.
