New Order
New Order was formed in Manchester in 1980, when the surviving members of Joy Division carried on under a new name after the death of singer Ian Curtis. Bernard Sumner took over on vocals, alongside Peter Hook on bass, Stephen Morris on drums and, from 1981, Gillian Gilbert on keyboards. Where the debut Movement stayed close to the bleak post-punk that came before it, Power, Corruption & Lies (1983) and Low-Life (1985) moved the band towards synthesisers, sequencers and drum machines. The 1983 single 'Blue Monday' is regarded as the best-selling 12-inch single of all time and tied British guitar music to the New York club scene. Brotherhood, the UK number one album Technique (1989) and Republic followed, while Factory Records kept the band linked to the Manchester club The Haçienda and to Peter Saville's sleeve designs. After several hiatuses and a line-up change, with Peter Hook leaving in 2007, Music Complete appeared in 2015.
This collection brings together New Order on vinyl, LP and CD: studio albums, compilations, and individual 12-inch singles from across their career.
