@@roberthorton1978 What a ridiculously unproductive reply to an entirely harmless, matter-of-fact post from an obvious N.O. fan - with whom I concur 100% (some 9 years later), re: my amazement that this gorgeous track from the still-wonderful "Technique" album was never released as a 12" remix/single by the band! PS: Edited "tears" with "years", D'oh!
only NewOrder at their most majestic are able to convey melancholy, heartache & loss through such shimmering dance music. There has never been nor ever will be a greater band. (fact.)
They were just so cool at the time of Technique. The music was so cool. They were great. For me, it's a pity they lost it so badly after Technique. Best club edit I've heard of this track, it tidies up everything and makes it so smooth.
I didn't get Republic at all. I was a New Order fan from the beginning and went the the Hacienda, their club, in the days when it was just a cool club, and before it went so house music. Technique was one of the best pop albums ever, to me. And then, no more, for me. Suddenly off the cliff face, no malingering, no clutching at bits of grass growing horizontally from a tuft of soil in the rock as they fall. Just my opinion. I'd have loved it if the'yd been anything after Technique.
lecochonbleu I completely agree. Technique was perfection for me one of the greatest albums ever. World in motion was a great anthem and Republic was ok but after that they regressed and became a poor parody of themselves. Seeing them live these days is painful. Especially how cool Barney used to be now he’s a joke
@@s1050 - agreed. It was always going to be difficult to follow up an album like Technique (which really was perfection), and while Republic was good, it was more or less carried by a couple of solid songs. Likewise, Get Ready was good, but doesn't even come close to Technique. And after Get Ready, it really was downhill for New Order. As a fan since 1987, it's quite sad to see the current incantation of New Order, particularly given the Peter Hook is no longer there.
How can I ever forget you You don't know just what I've been through The holiday we spent together Lives with me now and forever I tried but I can't find you Tell me now what do I do I tried but I can't find you Tell me now what do I do I can't find my piece of mind Because I need you with me all of the time I used to think about you night and day I used to feel what language cannot say Oh I can't find you No I can't find my piece of mind without you Maybe you'd write me a letter And tell me why I never met you Our rendezvous just ended in sorrow Without you there's no tomorrow I tried but I can't find you Tell me now what do I do I tried but I can't find you Tell me now what do I do I can't find my piece of mind Because I need you with me all of the time I used to think about you night and day I didn't care what other people would say Oh I can't find you No I can't find my piece of mind without you I can't find my piece of mind Because I need you with me all of the time I used to think about you night and day I used to feel what language cannot say Oh I can't find you No I can't find my piece of mind without you Ibiza, Majorca, and Benidorm too I've searched all these places but never found you
Looks like I am the new kid on the NewOrder block. Well not, broke up with my girl friend 20 years ago, at that time heavily into NewOrder. Could not emotionaly listen to them any more. Well , back together now, and I ended up in extended care facility with WiFi, and guess what, to cope put on NewOrder medicine....
i like Technique and Republic the most of all New order albums, I've listened Republic probably more than a hundred times and i still think it is very special.
+Steve Popelier i've heard Waiting for the sirens call only once while playing along on it on my guitar and i think it sounds very exciting, just as with lost sirens. I think i should buy these last two too when the time is right
New Order will always be special to me. Only issue is that they don't interview well. Way to dry but who really cares, incredible music for such a longtime!!!
