The Real Thing

this is that gwen stefani one, mate of mine played it to me today. im not to sure how much input NO had, but i think i faintly hear Barney in the backing vocals. its not great, just a normal pop song, nice though.

It's a guilty pleasure. I find it quite enjoyable...for a fluffy pop song.

This song is f**king ace and reminiscent of the Technique days...

Barney is on backing vocals and Hooky provides the bassline.

I really wish this would get released, it would do NO a lot more promotional good than faffing about with Anamatronic!

There is a faint chance of release as Gwen is trotting out a fair old rate of singles...

I was Christmas shopping up in SF last weekend when I heard this track for the first time.

Honestly, NO should have given Jetstream to Stefani and kept this on for themselves. The lyrics and instrumentals are quintissential New Order, speed up the tempo by a few beats and it would be perfect for WFTSC.

Hooky and Barney were pissed off with this 'cause Gwen mixed it without consulting them. I'd rather have AnaMatronithingy. She's hornier.

Also, Steve was pissed off cos he's not on it. I think he quoted "27 years of drumming counts for nothing!" or something like that.

Its a very good catchy song. I think it was written by Gwen, in the style of NO (even the lyrics are very new order-ish.

It would be interesting if NO were to do their own mix of it (as unlikely as that is).

Like Hookys bass,and think its a decent song-best Stefani one i`ve heard. I just cant hear Barney though,he seems too low in the mix.

7/10.

luv this song 8/10

i though new order had no involment with this track, it was just inspired by their style
