New Order - Academic (Extended Mix) 

The bass sound is exquisite

It is available on a 7" clear vinyl single if you can manage to get hold of a copy of the Electronic Sound magazine Issue 29. it has two mixes by Mark Reeder.Most copies are selling on ebay from about £25 -£30.It comes in a picture cover and there is a full interview with New Order. You're right this is one of the strongest tracks from the album and should have been a single. Thing is the whole album was brilliant and every track in my opinion was worthy of being a single. I think Music Complete was their best album since 'Technique'. Obviously 'Republic' , 'Get Ready' and 'Waiting For The Siren's Call' and 'Lost Siren's were all good albums but in my opinion 'Music Complete just edges it over those four. Mind you the remix album 'Complete Music' is well worth a listen as well. New Order are a class act and in my opinion are a bit under rated, what do you think? Maybe people didn't take New Order as seriously as Joy Division but for me they're both one of the best post punk groups around.

Stu Calvert One of their best in my opinion. Constant dancing.

Magnificent... ♡♡♡

Nothing But A Fool is my favourite as classic NO, but gee this mix really shows what a good song Academic is!

Ok, my opinion... I didn't like Restless... first. Now it's sooo good. Best video I've seen about couple of years was Singularity. It's a shame that it is squirted. Plastic... It's (I guess) Hook to Hooky. And poverfull technoQuediscotheQue. Stray Dog is Brilliant... because Iggy is there too... Academic: PERFECT! Nothing But a Fool: very moving... the Game is very good. Superheated is 5/5 too. (just in case i repeat it Again & Again. Whole album is so amazing that it was wonderful to see them live in 08/2016, Helsinki. Long time no see. WAIT! I waited that moment about 22 years and I was walking on air about week or two after... Long live NO. They're just brilliant! Average guys (and Gillian) who still take time, went straight forward... but.. just like BM or tPK; that I.C.B. trauma. And/but they went ahead... forward. Round & Round. Life is so fast, always changing and blah blah... and they managed to do THIS and it's COMPLETE MUSIC.

I agree but I LOVE Restless so much as well! Afterwards Unlearn this Hatred, it's damn good as well, not many seem to agree tho

Progressive my friend.

Beautiful song. Without Hook...who I love, but sorry.

Technique but this is the best since that.

@@unclejed2006 I agree about Technique being the best, but yes, even without Hooky, this is a fantastic LP.

LMAO not even the best one since Technique. Get Ready was much superior in every way.

I love Hooky. What has he done w/o the rest?

Top Shot It's on Complete Music, a different version of Music Complete. The difference being Complete Music has the extended versions

I'm comparing their own music present and past that's all, I listen to New Order since 1995 and you? I've listened all along with Electronic and Joy Division and I love it but the sound of Bernard's voice is weak in this album he sounds tired that is what I've said, I saw them in 2013 it was a great performance considering the time. I hope they continue making music, but if you don't believe me listen to the previous album. His voice sounds much better.

Dear SharkSport: Dude, everyone's allowed their opinion. Popular consensus (e.g., "every comment is positive but yours") doesn't mean jack shit. I agree with the estimation of Barney's vocals on the album. He sounds fairly bored the entire album. That doesn't change the album's brilliance. In fact, his passive delivery actually elevates several of the tracks.

Here is your comment verbatim: "This album is great, your opinion is what is weak. Every comment on here is positive except for yours. Consider that." Where in there do you say everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'll save you the time: no where. You do, however, insult Diggarci by saying what opinion they offer is weak. If that's an endorsement of free speech, its a pretty rude one. I hope someone sacrifices a goat on your behalf before the next harvest. Maybe that will help your attitude toward free speech.

Fenwick Designs that was deep man, too elegant for this conversation. I will say something more straight and simple to everyone and of course to the guy who says my opinion is weak: Boys, Men, Kids, Guys or whoever youtube exist to watch videos and comment, give our own opinions right? RIGHT? Ok, any person who comes to say to me "you are wrong because everybody likes it except you" is the dumbest comment I have ever ever ever seen, That isn't even an opinion it's a public accusation see the difference? You don't give reasons to get your conclusion think again please. Back to New Order, is one of the best bands I've ever listened, this album is amazing best 2015 album easily and why? They're still making great music not many bands of its age can presume to do that, they are truly good like wine. If you really know about NO hope you do, you should know Sumner's voice is beautiful but not a really good voice overall, if you check past and present his voice now sounds weaker than in the past, sometimes it plays to his favor sometimes not. This is a opinion, now learn kid.

SharkSport Why?
