Rough Trade Essential

New Order is a British band that was formed in 1980 in Manchester, United Kingdom. The group came together shortly after the tragic suicide of Ian Curtis, who was a member of Joy Division and Warsaw. The band consists of talented musicians including Bernard Sumner on vocals, guitar, and keyboards; Peter Hook on bass and keyboards from 1980 to 2010; Stephen Morris on drums and keyboards; Gillian Gilbert on keyboards and guitar from 1981 to 2001 and again since 2011; Phil Cunningham on guitar and keyboards since 2001; and Tom Chapman on bass since 2011.
With their unique sound blending elements of post-punk, electronic music, and synth-pop, New Order has become one of the most influential bands in the music industry. Their captivating performances have garnered them a dedicated fan base worldwide.
Throughout their career spanning several decades, New Order has released numerous critically acclaimed albums such as "Power, Corruption & Lies" (1983), "Technique" (1989), and "Music Complete" (2015). Their innovative approach to music production continues to inspire aspiring artists across genres.

power, corruption and lies from 1983 established new order's identity separate from its previous incarnation as joy division. this album stands not only as new order's most defining moment but perhaps as the most standard-setting moment in alternative dance. yet as definitive as they may be, new order have outsmarted any copycats. owing in substantial part to peter hook's prominent and melodic bass lines, new order's songs have always aspired to a complexity that maintains the band's timelessness. rarely formulaic, new order's songs are seldom overwhelmed by a four-on-the-floor throb. but interesting rhythms are just one facet of this musical diamond. their foreboding, grim, and often just plain heartbreaking lyrics present a contradiction to most dance-pop songs, whose lyrics are almost always uplifting or even evangelical.
