double disc; 24 tracks

New Order formed in Manchester in 1980, rising from the ashes of U.K.
post-punk icons Joy Division after lead singer Ian Curtis death. Guitarist
Bernard Sumner took on vocal duties, and with drummer Stephen Morris,
bassist Peter Hook and keyboardist Gillian Gilbert, became one of the
biggest British groups of their era. Pioneering
the fusion of new wave, alt-rock, electronica,
synth-pop and club music, their unique sound
was as thought-provoking and soulful as it was
dancefloor-ready. Featuring 17 tracks spanning
1981-1993, this single disc survey of their
influential work features signature hits
including Bizarre Love Triangle, World In
Motion, Regret, True Faith, and their
breakthrough smash Blue Monday.

The massively influential band New Order formed in Manchester, England, in 1980, rising from the ashes of U.K. post-punk pioneers Joy Division (after singer Ian Curtis took his own life). Guitarist Bernard Sumner assumed vocal duties for the new unit, and with drummer Stephen Morris, bassist Peter Hook, and keyboardist Gillian Gilbert, made music history. Successfully fusing new wave, electronica, synth-pop, and club music earlier than many bands now seen as contemporaries, their unique sound was as insightful and soulful as it was perfectly suited for the dance floor. From their earliest singles to their latest hits, this historic double-disc collection offers a career-spanning portrait of one of the most enduring and distinctive bands in modern rock.

Still reeling from the death of Joy Division vocalist Ian Curtis, the remaining members of the band regrouped as New Order; this, their first release under that name, maintains a mix of dark, melodic songs with an obvious emotional and musical link to the original band. Includes Dreams Never End; Truth; Chosen Time; Doubts Even Here ; the bonus tracks Ceremony; Temptation; In A Lonely Place; Everything's Gone Green; Hurt; Mesh , and more.

UK collection of hits and groundbreaking tracks from Joy Division and spin-off band New Order including a previously unreleased New Order track, 'Hellbent'. Despite an incredibly short recording career, Joy Division remarkably have stood the test of time in terms of influential British bands. Their dark, brooding sound has inspired more artists than could be listed and their continued adoration today is testament to the forward thinking yet inward projected music and lyricism of a young band on the brink of success yet unsure of how to deal with it. With the sad passing of Ian Curtis, from the ashes rose New Order; the same core band but with a new fresh approach to their chosen career path. Loud, colorful and full of life. Total is a chronological look at the two bands most important tracks. Warner.
