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 Haç ienda; 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
