Music complete : New Order

Description

« Attending a New Order concert is like going through the history of British cultural life over the last few decades at full speed, while marveling at the number of big hits and great songs they have produced over the years. » Irvine Welsch After 10 years away from the studios, the 6 Mancunians are back with Music Complete. This ninth album - tenth if you count Lost Sirens released in 2013, is pure NEW ORDER, mixing elements of Dance Music with new wave. The band members have always been fond of participating in numerous 'side projects' and thrive on collaborations with different artists. It’s no surprise to find various artists who have crossed paths with NEW ORDER over the past few years here. Iggy Pop, Elly Jackson (La Roux), and Brandon Flowers (The Killers) have lent their voices to different tracks while Tom Rowlands (Chemical Brothers) produced two. Despite the changes - new collaborators, new members, new old members - there is also a certain continuity. Peter Saville, the resident artist of Factory Records and the man responsible for the avant-garde visual identity of NEW ORDER over the last 35 years, once again took charge of the album cover.
