Synopsis

Album Details

Having Seen New Order Evolve from Tentative (Post Curtis) Synth-twiddling to Monumental Soundscaping Via Icily Perfect Techno-pop, We Arrive at the First of the Sessions on this CD. Recorded in 1998 the Versions of 'true Faith', 'touched' and Joy Division's 'isolation' Draw Heavily on the Dance Production Values of the Time, to Devastating Effect, While Retaining the Unmistakable Bass Hooks, Guitar Motifs and Vocal Melodies which Make the Tracks Inimitably New Order. For 'atmosphere' the Tempo and Arrangements Are Taken Right Down, the Song Emerging as a Starkly Powerful Drum-led Ballad, While 'paradise' Sees New Order Indulge their Classic Pop Skills.

CD Reviews

Exactly what I was looking for....

"I really enjoyed the 511 and 316 DVDs, and the versions of the songs here are similar to how they played them in those concerts. You get some "updated" versions of the old classics such as 'True Faith' and 'Touched by the Hand of God' as well as Barney doing some Joy Division songs in a "New Order" style. The songs from 'Get Ready' are more impressive than they were on the original album. I'm still amazed that after 25 years or so this band can still release material that remains true to their roots and sounds fresh."

Can't get enough of this

"Excellent mix of tracks--from the then-newest album Get Ready, to 80s NO classics, to Joy Division tracks. As another reviewed noted, Transmission will only play on disc and can't be imported to iTunes.

Better than the '87 show previously released as BBC Radio 1 Live In Concert, the sound quality and performances here are very good. Excellent song selection, the only gripe being that it's too short. A real gem in a live version of Your Silent Face, with its Kraftwerk keyboards, sounding as good as the album version 20 years later. Slow Jam and the rest of the Get Ready tracks sound great outside the studio.

Overall, another strong BBC/Peel disc. Highly recommended for NO fans."
