New Order have produced some of the most influential popular music of
the last 40 plus years. A unique vision of alternative electronic rock,
forged in Manchester and exported to the world; connecting with the
alternative-minded as well as the club-centric, the football fan and the
artist, the boffin and the aesthete. The journey of New Order from
Salford and Macclesfield to the world has been nothing short of
incredible: their punk-ignited founding as Warsaw; the eternally
astonishing Joy Division; the rise and fall of Factory Records and The
Haçienda; Martin Hannett, Peter Saville, Tony Wilson, Rob Gretton,
Arthur Baker, Michael Shamberg, and many other remarkable associations;
side hustles as BeMusic, Electronic, Revenge, The Other Two, Monaco, Bad
Lieutenant, and The Light; their tragic losses, their unholy messes,
their resilience, and, most importantly, the magnificent leftfield music
written by band members past and present: Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook,
Stephen Morris, Gillian Gilbert, Phil Cunningham, and Tom Chapman. This
book reviews every song New Order has officially released to date, from
'Ceremony' to 'Be A Rebel', across every album from Movement to Music
Complete, plus the many singles, compilations, and soundtracks. This
book is 'remixed', with additional information and references, from the
author's hugely popular and band-endorsed 'New OrderTracks' blog
