One of my favourite song intros ever, easy top 5 New Order track imho.On Twitter Tim Burgess from the Charlatans (don’t like them but he’s an interesting guy) is doing a “listen party” where they play an album in full & one of the band tweets about the making of each song, and they just did New Order, Technique with Stephen Morris (interesting factoid: the song below was named to make sure he remembered to pay a parking fine)
Not only is it a great album, but as a teenager tired of the same old guitar music, but not old or knowledgeable enough to be able to properly get into the new electro/ house scene emerging (no internet back then!), and desperate for something new, this was an epiphany, a bridge between ‘old’ music and the future. We’d had the second summer of love, The Eclipse in Cov was not long away from becoming the centre of the dance music world, there was excitement in the air everywhere, I don’t think we’ve had a “youth movement” like it since, it was lightning in a bottle for about 18mths & that was me hooked. For me at least, this album was the gateway to it all. Great times.
Yes! That was a cracking watch.@bringbackrattles @Houchens Head - not sure if you caught it but the BBC 4 doc in Rockfield studios Was very interesting and amusing - basically the story of two farmers who made a recording studio In the country that attracted people from Black Sabbath To Robert Plant - recommended for music heads
Great band. I think the early 80s electro stuff is amongst the best pop music this country has produced
A lot of adverts that stationAbsolute Classic Rock.
All the time.
True. Only downside though.A lot of adverts that station
Love this band
the greatest song to come out of Coventry
the day they played the anti nazi league rally on Hearsall common was legendary. No internet to record the fun and games in those days.
