THE PERFECT KISS

1. Hooky's bass is the best bit!
2. Not enough vocals on this track, but I still love it.
3. It's another classic from start to finish. Masterpiece.

5. Hey fellow Order fans deserve a free drink! :)

Quite a few things I love about this.....the intro, the lyrics, the sleeve, the bass, and the fact that this was the first record by NO that I could easily find in an average record store.

Worst thing is dealing with all of the people who think it's an Orgy song.

I love it cause it's not overplayed round here (only seen NO twice, and when it comes on the radio it is a relief) though I suppose that if I were over in the UK or in Europe that I might feel differently.

Somewhere in the Caribbean.

orgy have covered this too now? blimey, when will they stop?

& hey green we dont get the order played that much on the radio (hardly any airplay for the stuff off the last album with the possible exception of crystal)

hibster, the local top 40 station that is on at work plays hits from the 80s and 90s at noon for an hour, and Blue Monday (88 version, but still....), True Faith, and BLT are very frequently heard. Unfortuantely, they'll play something like Samantha Fox after that, and nobody round here plays much of the new stuff either.

1. The full-blown full-length version, their finest moment in a career of wonderful moments.
2. They don't play it anymore, and maybe never will again. Makes it all that much more special.
3. It has everything and brings back wonderful memories.

5. Frisbee?

1.Hooky and Barney's jam at the end 2.that stupid clap track 3.musical equivelent of a mutilple orgasism. This song peaks and peaks and peaks. Got some hippie friends stoned and aired the video for them. They were amazed. 4.100% never been topped, never been remixed other than its dub, TKoD 5.karma

great song

1. all of it!
2. none of it!
3. substance version is the best of all versions. not too long, not too short...rises to a wonderful climax and then spirals down to a full stop (hmm...sounds like a description of myself in flagrante delicto). absolutely perfection. the band's best song by a long shot. probably barney's best lyrics.
4. 150% !!
5. if i was there.

1. Drum patterns, sinister synth effects, Barney's guitar (especially on the video), Hooky's bass of course...in short, everyone is a critical part of the track, even Gillian.
2. The lyrics are a bit cringe worthy, especially when playing it to the uninitiated (esp. the "pleasure zone" part) Doesn't go on long enough, they should've made a 17 minute version.
3. One of their unequivical masterpieces, their apex in my opinion (but not their last peak)
4. 99.9999%

1. Best bit: The bit at the start where it bounces between the speakers (I'm easily pleased) and the v. cool synths
2. Worst bit: There isn't one, really
3. Why I like it: It makes you dance and think a little at the same time
4. Percentage rating: 80%
5. Reasons for buying drink: Won't be at Frisbee Park to buy you one, sorry! :(

One of Peter Hook's best bass lines of all time.......

Over to you then Mr Texan....

all of it none wish I'd written it 100 Do they have a 2 for 1 deal ?

TPK 12" is along with Temptation one of their most important moments. An absolute classic,one of those tunes thats never lost any of its quality.

Best Bit: Intro.. Worst bit: 'When you are alone at night...' too true! Why: anytime song -makes me glad that I've been there done that and still listening Rating 90%

Another thread where strangeness is occuring... have I entered the twilight zone?

This is in tight competition with Temptation as my all time fave NO song. The video version is pure ecstacy - I lose track of time and am highly suggestable when this is playing (with my pleasure zones)...

...from cock to kiss - the most memorable moments...

Another thread where strangeness is occuring... have I entered the twilight zone?

twilight zone indeed,

my favorite new order song period

This is now and has been my best track by New Order for more than a few years. The Video is just a pure joy to watch still to this day.And sends shivers down my spine every time i watch it. It is just truly awsome and they were just so far ahead of everybody else when they made it.

1. best bit, well everything really but Hooky's bass is magnificent and those frog's are something else too!
2. why can't all pop music be like this?
3. Love it
4. 100%

1.Lyrics, Barney's voice, the video, the sound and even the odd sound effects. 2.None 3.100% 4.I was surprised the video was directed be Jonathan Demme when I first heard that he directed it.

NO's climax

The best video ever made in the history of the whole universe - boredom turned to art.

1. The way the intro builds up and the post-vocal instrumental takes it into overdrive.
2. Piss off!
3. It is New Order. It starts off restrained but goes crazy halfway through. Hooky was bang on form. Lovely electronics - that synth line that hangs in the air and teases the rest of the band in for the instrumental. Even the lyrics are wonderfully silly... Pleasure zone? Land of love? I love the video, because it's such a simple yet brilliant showcase of a masterful band at work. Up there with Ceremony as my all-time favourite.
4. If nothing is perfect, this has to be at least 99.9%

A Happy New Year to everyone.

New on this site, and I have a question: Can the extended version of "The Perfect Kiss" (8:46, the version found on the Substance cassette) be found on any audio CD recording (and excluding any live or video version)?

Many thanks.
