Hi everyone

Totally reinvigorated by Music Complete, and feeling the need to move on a bit from working the pure discography angle for so many years (since 1992!), I've started a new project/site which will chronicle a journey to revisit and review in detail each and every core New Order track from Ceremony to Superheated (and hopefully beyond).



This may take some time, but I've made a start. Follow the ongoing work over at:

http://newordertracks.wordpress.com

I'll post updates here as the reviews drop - probably a couple each week. Hope you enjoy... linkage, feedback and comments welcome - particularly on the site itself.

Cheers
Dennis Remmer

Wow, that's some undertaking, doing a write up of each of all those songs.Have to take me hat off to yer, sir.I guess if you're talented at writing about music it won't be too difficult though.I look forward to following this ( have already started with your write ups of Ceremony, IALP and Dreams Never End- great writing).

Looks good this. Read Ceremony and IALP.

Surprised that ceremony has been played more than temptation live. Never been to a new order gig without temptation but have been to ones without ceremony, although it took me to the end of he 80,s to catch em live and be aware of their set lists.

Good writing, look forward to the rest.

Thanks for the great response! I'm just really keen to put aside all the band politics and get back to the music... i.e REALLY get back to the music - listen to it, think about it. Sense the evolution, influence, and impact of this band all over again. Some of it astounding, some of it a bit crap. All of it worthy of attention.

Well over

You know what seems to be missing in the world of online resources for NO... a reliable sessionography. Its just occurred to me that Procession came out before Movement and I might have to alter the sequencing of the reviews.

Does anyone know for sure if the EGG 7" version (b-side of Procession) is just an edit of the 12" FBN/FACUS-8 version? One source of knowledge tells me that there was a recording session at Strawberry in March-81 for Procession and EGG, and that the sessions for Movement in April/May-81 also included EGG, Cries & Whispers and Mesh. Which EGG is which?

Millions need to know.

This is awesome. I used to have a list of everything up to date, including off-shoots and one-offs. Then I got a girlfriend.

I met my partner at college. I liked that she had a New Order CD on her shelf.

It was Republic.

But we're still together.

Great work Dennis, good to have you back.

Denial and Procession now up.

One of the good things about the internet is that it's easy to find like-minded enthusiasts. How many times have each of us tried to share our thoughts on New Order with friends and family who clearly don't possess the same level of interest? This forum, which many (including myself) have come to take for granted, gives Dennis a platform to share his passion with those who truly appreciate it.

He certainly has put time and effort in, with quite a ways to go. I'm definitely curious to read where he'll go from here, considering the likes of ICB and The Him rate 4 stars.

I think I like Bernard's first version best, but it has been a while since I heard Ian's
