NEW ORDER

Retro (Boxed Set)

$59.98 CD

"They didn't have the juiciest roles in 24 Hour Party People, but they cut the best singles and inspired the best DJ remixes, and the proof is all here." -- SPIN  

A different kind of boxed set from a different kind of band. The career-spanning Retro fills four CDs with tracks selected by influential New Order fans who've followed the band for years. Disc One gathers the singles, selected by journalist Miranda Sawyer. Disc Two collects album tracks, selected by journalist John McCready. Disc Three is the remixes, selected by Hacienda DJ Mike Pickering. Disc Four is unreleased live tracks, selected by New Order and Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie. Includes an extensive booklet and digi-pack box featuring new artwork by renowned designer Peter Saville.  

New Order formed in 1980, in Manchester, England. They have released seven studio albums, and 30 singles, including a Number One, "World In Motion," and the best-selling 12" single of all time, "Blue Monday." Their innovative, artistic videos and inspirational LP artwork have won international awards. They were part-owners of Manchester's world-famous Hacienda nightclub and Dry bar.  

New Order have changed the face of pop music, crafting emotional music on machines, conjuring romance with flint-eyed lyrics, soul with a diamond centre, brilliance that sells millions. They make electronica for rock fans, future-disco for post-punks, heart music for head people, art for drunks.   

They unite loved-up acid heads, dressed-down musos, handbaggers, housewives, "spotty students and football hooligans": Bernard. They prove that cleverness and bloody-mindedness and beauty and wit can beat rock at its own clod-hopping game. No photos. No encores. No compromise. Just exhilarating, life-changing, lose-your-mind-find-your-feelings noise.  

New Order still live in Manchester, England.
