New Order - Blue Monday (Full 12-Inch EP) [1983] 

"sounds as great..." No it don't

Uh, I'm 50, so I was 10 in '83 and I don't remember this song from back then, so no way did you.

The tune is 40 years old, not me lol. I'm 54, so was 14 and did remember it very well 👍

still makes air move on big speakers at the good parties

With you on that....I bought the 12" twice when it first came out, blew me away and still love it.

Amazing, it's amazing

The Birth of Techno! New Order; Pioneers

Yesss

How lucky we were to experience that !!! The 80's ! Thank God for the 80's ! The Universe had enough disco, and it was time to move forward . . .

What's all that white stuff on the counter top?

@@jafetrodriguez6446 , Lol ! You called it ! I almost brought that up ! We would carry over to Tijuana at around 3am ( 15 minutes away ) and go clubbing, more drinking, and eating ! Thank you for your comment !

@@jafetrodriguez6446 woah

As soon as you hear that first few seconds of that bass drum it was dance time!

Dat Klopt !

I actually can relate--somebody on a long-gone radio station stated something along that line. Think back in 1993.

I agre

Who says so? It is as "synth" as (or less than) I Feel Love, the latter being of universal importance to music, this one here is the most overrated by internet/youtube song ever.

@@krasteff Stop talking out your arse you massive ponce

Played to death 👍☺️

Joy division and new order where well ahead of the times and so influential

However - not only did they "do" this tune - but on the flipside of their extended vinyl LP .. re {quote] New Order - Blue Monday (Full 12-Inch EP) [1983] [unquote] THEY PHYSICALLY REVERSED THE SONG Thus the flipside of the 12" plays the other way & thus plays this exact song = sdrawkcaB.. It's title HAD to be different - so they called it "THE BEACH" !!!!!! OBVIOUSLY THIS SONG IS ALL ABOUT THE BEACH ANYWAY - thus easily plays in reverse Compare the two versions and the "reversed" flipside track - pre-echoes itself, because when played in reverse - anything that gets "played" on the original side that delays any echoes - these echoes now precede the tune (played in reverse) - hence it's got "altered" singing digitized inverted vocals in it too ... and all other echoes PLAY BEFORE THE SOUND - as they now precede the active signal that created them.. re: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q0pkadXqghM.html

ALL TRACKS are way ahead of their time - whenever I play-with (operative word = WITH = play-with) any music - as I do NOT play it the way countless others have followed along the blind commercial system - of playing a two channel stereo system by way of ONE CHANNEL - on the left-hand side & ONE CHANNEL on the right-hand side? Oh no - I either "play these" in total 360 degrees "analogue" surround sound (via my own invented multiple channel decoder system - that i discovered away back in 1965) OR - I play "things" from TOP TO BOTTOM, with a subwoofer at CENTER-HEIGHT. Why ? Because then I not only get the old-school (original) MONO SOUND of summated R+L channels, at the TOP Of the speaker tower stack - but I get a completely unheard HIDDEN track - that plays near the floor - whilst the summated SUB-WOOFER is summated between the normal MONO and the OTHER 90 degrees out-of-phase MONO - being the one I get out of the hidden content within any stereo recording (from the rear of studio / rear stage effects) - which when combined in full noise - actively give me a LOT MORE audio content - than you will ever get - playing forwards OR backwards any of your music - whether in direct analogue players - or from any digitized "virtual" sound delayed frontal system of "front surround only". And then sometimes - I go & 4k all of that up - by overlaying the completely opposite direction of play of that top/bottom content - into the opposing bottom & top channels (but over-layed in reverse).. Making a cacophony of harmonic sounds - being like nothing ever created.. Now where can you hear that effect? Oh yes - a car upside down on the side of a track (road actually) .. The title of it.. Oh for sure - sounds as bad as the content that YOU will soon subject your ears to listen too Ur addicted to MY music & U chant- QUIX4U (Wildest FM Radio on the doht com) .wmv ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Kt2-5ZUuzbM.html Backwards - sideways PLUS upside down AND reversed - all tumbled in together. Yet your brain can follow along ? And eventually start to recognize little snippets of something Plus bits and pieces - played here and there.. DIFFERENT ? HELL YEAH Any silly village idiot - can push "play" on a commercially made audio player. NONE can play it my way.

remixes suck make new tracks dont remix what is already set up right

@@fullfunk nobody is talking about any remix of this track because there is no way to outdo the brilliance of the original.

Indeed!

If you look in a charity shop you might find a copy, still loads of deluded people throwing away the best part of their lives, fact

I did too 😢

Always will be and for the future

I'd forgotten about B-Movie. Thanks.

You still doing it in 2021 now?

2024?

Ahem the only version 🥰

philip briggs “track” “definitely”

@@joshdougherty1574 Bugger off, this is the comment section of a great song, not a spelling lesson

completely not the point but what teams were playing

It actually represented it's time while being ahead of it's time !!

a drum machine made it possible, plus some very clever people

MDMA

Because we were generation X , THATS WHY!!!!

​@@nickyairs7944is that all you think it was about???

​@@theselector4733😮

Always been and forever will be the best.

It's the one I grew up with. Wasn't there a remix called "The Beach", or is this it?

There was a version named "The beach", it was on the B side of the 12 inch single. It was a brilliant remix of a brilliant song.

Nina Eikenberg I have that 12 in. version...... I bought 3 vinyls when I was in Junior high school... I have never played them, they're still sealed. I consider them a treasure :)

It's silly to ask trivia questions on the internet, but who knows (or remembers) who these guys were before New Order, and what happened that caused the change?

Manzarek... )

That's because they didn't want to change things up, they wanted to continue with the formula but forgot it was missing a piece

They should have created a new band from the ashes..

This should have no 1 how many times over

Yes, the B-side is called The Beach...awesome!!

Thank you captain obvious

Lol

Robin v. E. I agree, the cool minimalism of "Blue Monday" is what made this track so awesome.
