Substance is a double-disc set collecting New Order's singles, including several songs that were never available on the group's albums, at least in these versions. While there are a couple of re-recordings of earlier singles, most of Substance consists of 12" single mixes designed for danceclub play. Arguably, these 12" mixes represent New Order's most groundbreaking and successful work, since they expanded the notion of what a rock & roll band, particularly an indie rock band, could do. Substance collects the best of their remixes, and in the process it showcases not only the group's musical innovations, but also their songwriting prowess -- "Temptation," "Blue Monday," "Bizarre Love Triangle," and "True Faith" are some of the finest pop songs of the '80s. Although it is a double-disc set, Substance isn't overly long. Instead it offers a perfect introduction to New Order, while providing collectors with an invaluable collection of singles.
I think we've been pretty clear at Down With Tyranny that we don't like the temptation legislators who take immense sums of money from special interests in annual "donations"-- and then vote on the very bills those special interests consider downright existential-- face. The Financial/Insurance/Real Estate sector has invested more in Congressional campaigns than any other sector in the economy...

FROMTOAfter the suicide of Joy Division lead singer Ian Curtis, the remaining members went on to form New Order. Joy Division had become a well known and respected band with hits like "Love Will Tear Us Apart" in the early 80s. Joy Division's sound and style was the basis for what later became known as the New Wave subgenre: Goth Rock. The music is known for its dark and moody themes. Other big...

I had this little blog over on Blogger called "Psalm a Day". There are 28 posts, but they weren't all mind - a friend contributing as well. The problem was: no readers. So I figure I'll recycle a few of the posts and maybe gather a couple more readers. Here's the first:"Procession" by New OrderLyricsMy first post since October. Left for dead, but the blog survives - neglected, but breathin...

'Songbook' is a UK TV program where various musicians explain and demonstrate how they wrote famous songs in their career. Last week it was the turn of Bernard Sumner.Along the course of a 30 year career there were some interesting insights (Joy Division's distinctive bass sound happened because Bernard had his cheap amp turned up loud to get distortion and Peter Hook moved to the top strings ...

Who?Formed from the ashes of Joy Division after singer Ian Curtis killed himself, New Order went on to become one of the most celebrated bands of the '80s. Taking cues from New York's dance scene, kraut rock, and their previous band's post-punk roots, New Order's brand of synth-heavy dance rock has made a major impact on both dance music and the rock world.And I Care Because?- They had the mo...

I've wanted to go to the Coachella Music & Arts Festival for the past three years, but have never come up with the cash, and the guts, to make the trip. I've used all my standard excuses: don't have the spare cash, can't spend that long from the family, don't want to go and then feel obligated to stick around for the Sunday shows, blah blah blah. Then again, I've never had as good a reason to...

Max is sad. I wouldn't phone me up just now.We look at each other without seeing, we listen to each other and only hear a voice inside ourselves.This is a song about my local chinese takeway. (It has a new name now, but the girls sometimes have blue hair for the tourists. Most people don't know why.)

I've been away Mog...to all my contacts on here...I've missed each and everyone of you. I am in bit of a transition these days and pardon me if I don't elaborate, but it's going to be an exciting journey. I hope to share a bit more as the transition is complete.So of course what do I do when I need some downtime and to relax from all the stress of change? I listen to music...to where my root...

New Order are touring the UK at the moment visiting much smaller venues than usual, so not being one to miss out on seeing them at least once per yeah, me and a couple of mates jumped in a car last nite, and drove 140miles to beautiful Wolverhampton. (Even though they played in London last Friday in the toilet known as Wembley Arena – How I hate that place).Found the venue really quickly, par.
