"Out of respect for those who truly are, i won't call myself a dedicated new order fan, but they are with out any doubt one of my favourite groups.
So instead of hunting down and collecting several of they're early releases, i decided to buy this box-set. What realy excited me was the fact that there is an entire disc dedicated to club remixes, wich i love. Since I was not fortunate enough to grow up with new order and being a remix-entusiast, i can't help appreciating the remixes ALMOST as much as i appreciate the original tracks.
Disc one contains a great collection of New Order Hits, Crystal, Blue Monday, True faith, Bizarre, The Perfect Kiss, they're all there. I simply loved it, though i am sure they could have squeezed in a couple of more tracks such as 60 miles per Hour, Here to Stay, 1963, World in Motion and Ruined in a day.
Disc two contains other important album works of new order, and i was suprised at how many new favorites i found on this disc.
Disc Three is the club disc, A LOT of grat remixes on this one, though i kind of miss a few from the Rest of New order release, they could have doubled the tracks on this one.
The Fire Island's remix of Regret is in my opinion a slightly better remix than the one on this release by Sabre . And why is not Shep Pettibones Remix of True Faith on this disc!?!
The Magimix remix of Spooky and K-Klass's remix of Ruined in A Day where also deeply missed. But still, still a great pile of remixes on this one.
The fourth and last disc (unless you got the limited edition Box set) contains rather rare Live recordings of Now Order. Since i have sadly naver been to a New Order coincert, this doesnt probably have the same value to me as to one who has. But i still enjoyed it. Music gets an entirely different energy when its performed live.
Great disc, and definitively nice to have in the record collection. Not my favourite disc in Box, but still great.
Even though its tempting to give 5 of 5 stars here, i cant help being a litle disapointed over the rather slim selection of tracks on disck 1 and 3.
annyway.
New or Not To New Order. If you like'em. Get This Box.
Great music and the box in itself is truly eye candy, looks fantastic."
Didn't care for it

"It's an OK collection, but just some more remixes of stuff already included on countless other disks. Save your money."
