- Just an elegant song, the whole mood of it-excellent sorta chillout song
- the part where the synths first enter the song to the the backing drum track
- the fact it has lyrics at all
- Don't give ratings (they cjange from second to second) a number cannot really emote how ya feel about a song/ Tho this one hus really snuck up on me
- prolly the only electronic track-just about where I can say its beautiful
forgot about Retro-typical saville, spare almost Teutonic. Kinda cool to look at, abstract as all hell-a real head scratcher "like what does THAT mean-but it looks really bitchin'"
- Best bit - it is flawless
- Worst bit - none, it is flawless
- Like any self respecting NO fan, I love it
- 100%
BEST BIT - It's all perfect,but me being a technophobe,I would say the string synth,because it always brings a lump to my throat whenever I play it.It's even an MP3 on my phone I play at work when I can't be arsed reading.
WORST BIT - When it ends!
WHAT I LOVE - see 1 above,and it's one of the best lyrics,including "why don't you piss off"
PERCENTAGE? - 100 %
RETRO ARTWORK? - It's excellent! It cheekily combines the "Nazi" association they had in the early days with dancefloor.
It´s a great song for me, so it can sound old for a lot of people, but the lirics are excelent!!!!!![]()

- Best Bit: The keyboard/string melody is beautiful
- I don't think there's a worst bit in the entire song.
- "You caught me at a bad time/So why don't you piss off" To hear those words coming out of such an elegant masterpiece pretty much describes New Order for me.
- 99% (It can sometimes get a bit long)
- Synth, Guitar, Razormaid Remix
- Can't think of any
- Same as # 1
- B / B+
- Not bad, and not really that excellent. there are probably other better options.
Indeed*!*
Best Bit - Everything, the bass, the lush keyboard and barneys vocal
Worst bit - there isn't one
One of the best New order tracks ever made, always makes me feel happy
one of the few songs that acutally scores the full honours 100%!!
Not one of the best covers, but I like birds but not (disco) balls! it certainly very noticable but it doesn;t really look like a NO cover.
- The piss off line.
- none
- The synth work, the way the song was put together: brilliant
- 100%
- The Retro artwork can be improved. I don't like it as much as the other record covers.
huh. so pretty much everyone here loves everything about this song--?
i think it's a great electronic song, and i love the kraftwerkiness of it--any repetitive aspects don't bother me at all. but whenever the vocals set in..... i feel almost like a little twinge of despair--like, man, this great song is being ruined! of all the numbers with iffy vocals in their oeuvre, it's the only n.o. song i really really wish had been instrumental. it's not so much the quality of the singing itself, just that the performance feels more phoned in than ever--lyrics really sound as if made up on the fly in the studio (and i guess this may in fact have been the case)--plus the vocal melody (?? not a musician so don't know proper terminology) doesn't complement the rest of it at all... the whole vocal track to me feels as if thrown in as an afterthought because someone felt the song *had* to have singing in it.
anyone...? no?
- Best bit - Beautiful Synth melody and Melodica
- Worst bit - My copy of PCL skips during the instrumental to the next track, so I have to go over to the computer to listen to it >_< , Also the Cure stole the melodica melody for the overblown song "Pictures of You" on "Disintegration" (Only song by The Cure I truely hate with avengence..)
- Why you love/hate it...Hooky deciding to be tasteful with his bass playing for once

- A percentage rating 90%, just because of Bernards vocals at times
- Do you love or hate the Retro artwork? I'll go either way on it..wait...
