This compilation, originally released in 1994, collects the best of the legendary English band's singles and choice album cuts recorded since New Order formed out of the wreckage of Joy Division in 1980. Classic album tracks like "Love Vigilantes" and "Age of Consent" sit alongside smash singles like "True Faith" and a song from the soundtrack to the 1987 film SALVATION!, "Let's Go (Nothing For Me)." As an alternative to the thematically sequenced box set, RETRO, THE BEST OF NEW ORDER is an ideal starting point for initiates.
Entertainment Weekly (4/28/95, p.64) - "...New Order's best moments of the past decade also include some of pop's finest..." - Rating: B+
NME (Magazine) (12/24/94, p.23) - Ranked #6 in NME's list of the 10 best compilation albums of 1994.
Born in the early 1980s out of the ashes of U.K. post-punk pioneers Joy Division, New Order became one of the first electro-pop bands to find mainstream success in the US. Their single "Blue Monday" was a landmark in dance music, and subsequent recordings achieved a perfect balance between technology and pop songcraft. They were a standard choice of club DJs through the '80s & '90s and even snuck onto the pop charts occasionally with catchy hits like "True Faith" and "Regret." Leader Bernard Sumner sporadically records with Johnny Marr as Electronic, and occasionally reconvenes the famed quartet.
