    So, an interesting fact for you - Several months ago, you reacted to Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and didn't have the best reaction to it. Hah! It is a very melancholy song, for sure. Just after it was released, the lead singer, Ian Curtis committed suicide. Afterwards the remaining members of Joy Division went on to form New Order and Bernard Sumner took over on vocals. They were MASSIVE, especially in the alt/new wave community. Many of their songs have deep or dark subject matter, but they're still so danceable and energetic. I graduated from high school in 1986, the year Blue Monday was released. New Order, Depeche Mode, the Smiths...that WAS my coming of age soundtrack and I am so so so so soooooo elated that you're getting into this!

    I’m showing my age here but thanks to my father and his love of British music, Manchester was on my cultural map long before New Order. Dad introduced me to the Hollies, 10cc, Freddy and the Dreamers and Herman’s Hermits. I found the Buzzcocks on my own. And while I don’t like them, aren’t the BeeGees originally from Manchester, I can’t remember? While they all predate New Order, I get your point. Joy Division/ New Order were huge for my friends and I.

    @@biohazard_613Those bands may have been FRIOM Manchester, but they weren't really ABOUT Manchester. Nobody much cared where those bands were from; New Order was the band that made people want to be IN Manchester, to be a part of what was happening there that couldn't easily be replicated elsewhere. Before then, nobody wanted much to do with Manchester, including may of its own residents. The cultural moment New Order launched gave Manchester a renewed sense of identity and civic pride that it hadn't really felt since its industrial glory days. Obviously they didn't do it all themselves; plenty of other bands came along and helped build the scene like the Happy Mondays and the Stone Roses and 808 State and NewFAD and Inspiral Carpets... but it was New Order that jump-started it and generated the revenue that kept the Factory pop culture machine running for a decade. To be honest I never cared much for New Order; but I liked a lot of the bands that came in their wake and the cultural phenomenon they all crafted together. And like them or not, I have to give props to the band that made it all happen.

    Absolute classic. New Order were formed from the ashes of Joy Division following Ian Curtis's tragic suicide. Their mix of post punk, indie and dance music was unique at the time. They were from Manchester and paved the way for the likes of Primal Scream and the whole baggy 'Madchester' scene that came later. I think it's still the highest selling 12" ever, and stayed in the Indie charts (when there was such a thing), for years. Peter Hook's driving bass sound was a prominent feature, he played it more like a lead instrument. Other songs to check out are True Fairh, Thieves Like Us, Regret and Crystal.

    This song was incredibly difficult in those days, when the technology didn't exist to just lay out the tracks on a PC. They had to enter every note by hand and hope it worked. This song is actually a bit atypical for New Order, normally they mixed synths and guitar, sometimes with real drums, sometimes with drum machine. Check out Temptation, Age of Consent, Perfect Kiss, so many great songs.

    The #1 12" single of all time. Love all the overlays & this was the OG techno, before techno even existed. "On March 7th, 1983, New Order pioneered dance music with the release of the best selling 12 inch single of all time-”Blue Monday”, whose initial run sold over 700,000 copies. The song (now used to name the depressing 3rd Monday of January) is perhaps the most acclaimed and even influential synth-pop track of all time."

One of my all time favorite songs, and definitely in my top five dance tracks. New Order is what happened when Ian Curtis of Joy Division died and the drummers girlfriend joined the band. You can definitely hear that dark, gloomy Joy Division sound, but they went in the more electronic direction, and to great acclaim.

    I had forgotten how good song this is, it is jam packed with stuff, first 5 minutes offers constant barrage of new stuff then it fades away with repeats. The instrumental version is called The Beach, it is on the flip side of the maxi-single. It was the only way this song was released, it is not in any albums apart from compilations of course. This makes it i think still the best selling maxi (yeah, i know, a bit of a niche).. The cover art of the original vinyl is interesting. It is made to resemble old school 5" floppy and has colored squares on the side instead of text. On another album there is a painting of a rose. It turns out that the artist who made the rose also made a decoding wheel, colors represent letters. When you decode squares in the maxi-single cover it reads "new order blue monday and the beach". The cover on that maxi-single made it sure that the band didn't see any money from the sales for a loong time, cause it was too expensive to make. There is a documentary called The Factory , which tells about the recording company that was... different. It sure was not a business but they made a huge impact on music that is especially heard these days influencing new generation of artists. Factory Records and New Order were linked from the hip, there was not one without the other and none of it would exist without a dedicated scene in Manchester in the early 80s.

    It’s funny how you disliked Joy Division but liked this. They’re essentially the same band, except a change in singer and keyboards. The lead singer of Joy Division took his own life, and the drummers girlfriend joined the band and they became New Order. Their story is one of legend, especially this single as it’s the biggest selling 12 inch single vinyl of all time, and they lost money on every copy sold, due to the cover being so expensive. Other songs to listen to from New Order would be True Faith, Age of Consent, Bizzare Love Triangle, Temptation, your Silent Face, Perfect Kiss, among others. The Technique album is considered a bit of a masterpiece in dan e music. Love the channel, Jamel. Peace ✌️
