The majority of their best known songs are there and a few have even undergone a slight facelift to bring them up to date. Even if you can't recognise many of the titles, once you listen you will instantly remember and be humming along in no time. The album starts with an update of the classic 'True Faith', as with the majority of the remixes on the album sounds almost identical to the ...

The Best Of New Order - New Order

Now, everyone knows what a big influence New Order had always been on the dance scene throughout their innovative and legendary career, right? Well, 'Technique' returns the compliment with interest; offering even more documention to the pile that this group were simply one of the greatest around- and continue to be, leaving a body of work that, in many ways, has yet to be surpassed... By their peers or otherwise. Relaxed is the appropriate word to describe the bands' countenance here: ...
