1.Movement: Collector's Edition/Remastered & Expanded by: New Order September 29, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £17.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £10.98 You Save: £7.01 (39%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £11.92
This 2 disc set collects the first album and all of the singles at that time. The bonus disc includes: Ceremony, Temptation 7"mix, In a Lonely Place, Everyting's Gone Green, Procession, Cries and Whispers, Hurt and Mesh, Ceremony (Alt Version), Temptation 12" Mix. Neither of the versions on disc two is the Substance version of Temptation like another review says. The album was the beginning for NO and definitely different than later albums. But the beginnings are all there, from the bass hooks, to the driving drums. Sumner's vocals are more like Ian Curtis's on this than on future albums. Rhino did a nice job with this package. Sonically, disc 1 (the album) is excellent. Disc 2's sonics are ok, but could have been ... Read More:

Well, the actual album is not that bad - it seems to have been remastered and, thus, improved in sound quality. For those that already know the album, the sound quality on this disc is much better than the original Factory CD, which, to me, makes it a worthwhile purchase... However... The bonus CD seems to have been comprised of dodgy vinyl-to-cd rips, most noticeably in Touched By The Hand Of God. It is quite frankly embarassing that such bonus tracks with pops and clicks exist (just try and listen to the first 30 seconds of the track), especially since Touched By The Hand Of God was available on CD single. So, three stars for the remastered album, but loses 2 stars for the sub-standard bonus disc.

3.Power Corruption and Lies: Collector's Edition/Remastered & Expanded by: New Order September 22, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £16.53
Power, Corruption and Lies is a wonderful New Order album, it is an album I love and is dearly treasured and important to me, and it is a crucial release in the development of the band as they slowly slip from the shadow and reputation of Joy Division and Ian Curtis. That said PCL's shape, form and sound - as it was designed by the band in 1983 - had a beauty, intergrity and structure. This 'new edition' of NO is flaccid and unnecessary, taking away from the masterpiece that was tightly conceptually executed all those years ago. Are people not fed up of record company's constantly issuing new versions of great albums? Why should the money men know better than the original musicians? Is not less more really? Some ...

4.Technique: Collector's Edition/Remastered & Expanded by: New Order September 29, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £16.96
What a moment the unleashing of this music was on the world of New Order fans! This is one of the most important releases and collections of music released by NO in a career littered with important dates, career jumps, exploration and advancement. Well, at least under Factory. There is nothing that can take away from the music that is contained in Technique, except hindsight. We can listen to this album now knowing that it represents the end of the classic period of New Order and the end of their involvement with Factory. It represents a goodbye and closure which is made all the more poignant by the fact that at the time we had no realisation that the passing of an era was coming about. I mean ok, we get 'World in Motion' after this, but while ... Read More:

5.Substance 1987 by: New Order October 04, 1999

I bought this album for my wife as part of a birthday present. I'd not been a great New Order fan at the time of their rise to power - possibly still a bit miffed at the demise of the 'Division'. However, I have listened to it and my opinion of this group has changed. The orchestration is very good, musical abitilty is far superior to their contemporaries and I would recommend it to anyone with a taste for 1980's/1990's alternative rock/electric music.

6.Low-Life: Collector's Edition/Remastered & Expanded by: New Order September 22, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £12.00
This has always been my favourite New Order album. The addition of the remixes on the second disc, together with the superb 17min version of "Elegia" makes it even better for me!

7.The Best of New Order by: New Order October 04, 1999

New Order is a rather mysterious band in many ways. It has pre-history and continuing influence by groups such as Kraftwerk, Eno and the Velvet Underground, and various other experimental electronic-based European groups. It also has a strong shadow cast over it from Joy Division, an ironic name for a group whose leader (also the founder of New Order) Ian Curtis committed suicide. Enigmatic to the last, New Order members (who drift in and out of other band arrangements; the latest perhaps being Bernard Sumner's work with Electronic) tend to be less than specific when talking with the press, and their albums are conspicuously devoid of liner notes. This CD, entitled (the best of) New Order for once contains some liner notes, which alas are disjointed, following the same fuzzy ... Read More:

First let's get the bad news out of the way: The worst thing you can say of this is that every NO compilation since (the CD format of) Substance has been a missed opportunity. They should have taken the opportunity to include a supplementary disc containing the lost b-sides. There must be loads, all I can think of right now are the ones omitted from the Substance CD: the other half of the Cries & Whispers/Mesh package [the song that isn't on Substance], Shame Of The Nation (which at least some of us prefer to the standard-issue version with the slightly different title) and the dub mixes of Shellshock and Subculture (noted for their strange alternate song-endings: DubVulture is especially strange!) Now, what's actually here: All the singles in their 7" edits, plus Blue Monday ... Read More:

This possesses a particular sound that resonates through all the tracks, a confident electronic groove that indicates a band that has found its collective feet and knows the kind of music it needs to make. It sounds fabulous. That flowery cover was great too.

10.Brotherhood by: New Order April 10, 2000

As a fan converted by 1985's Low-Life album I read up on the band and it was apparent they took TIME between recording. It was thus a great shock to recieve Brotherhood the very next year! I know NOW that this haste was due to Factory Records haemoraging money into The Hacienda night club but back in 1986 all I knew was there was a new album to be welcomed! Brotherhood builds on Low-Life and adds acoustic guitar to their electronic palete to great effect.It also bosts their synth sound at it's best, the classic New Order sound never got any better than this! Paradise is a good intro with drums ala Love Vigilantes, Weirdo swaggers along on Peter Hook's booming bass with a great solo too. As It Is When It Was is a classic, with low key acoustic guitars mingling to emotive effect with bass. The lyrics about ... Read More:
