Macclesfield, England (1980 – 1993, 1998 – 2007)

New Order were an alternative/new wave band which formed in 1980 in Macclesfield, England by the three surviving members of Joy Division. The band’s classic lineup consists of Bernard Sumner (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Peter Hook (bass, electronic percussion), Gillian Gilbert (keyboards, guitar) and Stephen Morris (drums, keyboards). Gilbert left in 2001 to look after her and Morris’s children and was replaced by guitarist/keyboardist Phil Cunningham. Hook left acrimoniously in 2007 and according to Hook, the band has broken up. However, Sumner, Cunningham and Morris have repeatedly denied that the band has broken up, and that if Hook no longer wants to be in the band, that is his choice. Hook has since threatened to take legal action if they attempt to continue as New Order. In 2009, Sumner, Morris and Cunningham announced that they do not plan on continuing on as New Order without Hook.

Pioneers of dance music in the 1980s and one of the first bands to effectively and popularly synthesize keyboard- and guitar-based music, New Order hailed from Salford, England and Macclesfield, England out of the ashes of Joy Division, are noted as being one of the first bands to bridge the gap between post-punk and dancefloor. They were Factory Records’ highest selling artist; they funded Factory’s famous Manchester club, The Haçienda. They recorded with legendary hip-hop producer Arthur Baker (on 1983’s single Confusion and 1984’s Thieves Like Us), and they embraced Ibizan club culture on the album, Technique.

The ammount of hipsters that visit this shoutbox with the usual "not as good as joy division" thing has increased significantly since control came out. Bit late pointing this out but felt it should be said none the less

Don't start with Movement. It's a turgid retread of Joy Division. Substance is a good 80s compilation. As far as albums, I'd start with Technique, which is solid all the way through and possibly their best.

I do not like them. Ian was the driving force of Joy Division and after his death, they changed the style, which is just a good move. Unfortunately, their music and what it represented for me is simply not acceptable.
