#NewOrderEvolution Day 3: Still Something Must Break Dead Souls Decided to limit my choices to studio rather than live recordings, but Sister Ray deserves a shout out. Shame I’ve never heard their version of Louie Louie (“wow”) although I did see them live a couple of times.

#NewOrderEvolution Day 5: Movement Dreams Never End The Him In many ways Movement sounded like a Joy Division album, and indeed had there been a third Joy Division album it may well have sounded like Movement. So definitely an album that is a bridge between the two bands.

#NewOrderEvolution Day 6: 1981-1982 Temptation Everything’s Gone Green Temptation is an all time favourite but I have to say, nothing can top Hooky playing it live with The Light! Amazing at Manchester’s Albert Hall in September 2018: youtu.be/lSIN-oCY760

#NewOrderEvolution Day 9: Brotherhood Weirdo Bizarre Love Triangle To be honest, by the mid-80s I’d moved onto other music - jazz primarily - and wasn’t keeping up with all things NO. It’s only in recent years that I’ve picked up the baton again.
