Description
A dedicated, year-by-year, song-by-song study of the Manchester phenomenon in all their incarnations. Formed from the tragic collapse of Joy Division, New Order have achieved unprecedented success as pioneers of the UK dance scene and as the purveyors of some of the most uplifting pure pop to grace the UK charts. From the huge critical and commercial success of Blue Monday to the 2005 album Waiting For The Siren's Call, Sumner, Hook, Morris and Gilbert have continued to move from strength to strength. Dave Thompson catalogues the group's career, including extensive chapters covering Electronic, Revenge, Monaco and The Other Two, providing the full story behind every song and remix.
