Yet with keyboard recruit Gillian Gilbert rounding out the line-up of New Order, Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook and Stephen Morris found an alternative dance-rock sound often unrecognisable from Joy Division's post-punk stylings - and sold millions more records, to boot.

I wasn't around in the eighties, so forgive me not knowing, but I wonder what effect Ian's suicide had in generating interest in New Order, in that morbid sort of way? Also, I saw this on the bottom of the page. Glad I'm not the only one....though I don't think 'Knickers' is much better at all.
