[Origin Sound Kyoto Trap Hip Hop (WAV)
Kody Coste
New Order's walloping comeback single 'Crystal' hits the ground running on a crashing wave of Bernard Sumner's pumped up power chords and oddly deadpan intensity. This is a defiant affirmation of love, charged with risk & regret, and more guitar laden than anything New Order have done since Joy Division. Some of the mystery has gone, but the passionate punk spirit still remains.
With the Haienda and Factory Records long gone, no-one thought that New Order would ever be seen again, but with the bailiffs meetings and solo projects all grinding to a halt, they somehow managed the improbable feat of making a great comeback album. Featuring Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie and former Smashing Pumpkin Billy Corgan, 'Get Ready' sounds more like New Order than any other New Order record. Still unique. Still brilliant.
The New Order winner will receive either ACID Pro 3.0 or Vegas Audio 2.0 (winner's choice), and five loop libraries. 1 grand prize winner will be chosen by the Reprise promotional staff, and will receive New Order merchandise and other surprises. Several runners-up will also be selected. All winners will receive "Crystal" promotional 12" singles, and in addition, an autographed New Order lithograph.
Amazon.co.uk Review
On Get Ready, New Order, the band who wrote the immediate future of electronic dance music on 1983's omnipotent "Blue Monday", return ready to rock--there's nothing vaguely Arthur Baker or Balearic here. For the most part, Get Ready keeps the keyboards trim and unobtrusive and revels in raw drums and wires; Bernard Sumner's funk-inclined, scratchy dog-with-fleas guitars; Peter Hook's shin-level punk bass lines; sinuous human greyhound Steve Morris--possibly the thinnest chap ever to grace a drum stool--kicking the machines into touch and keeping time with clockwork proficiency. All that, and those finely conceived bittersweet melodies, plus some questionable phrases: "It's like honey, you can't buy it with money" sings Sumner on the otherwise splendid "Crystal", a natural, guitar-rock pop-song successor to the mighty "Regret". And if "60 Miles an Hour" is a mite melodically predictable, then "Primitive Notion" is a thrilling throwback to Joy Division's "Heart and Soul". Try humming that bass line, tapping out that drum pattern and then compare the line "Don't look at me with your critical smile" to Ian Curtis's "I observe with a critical eye". Whatever, there's a cracking chorus right up there in the naggingly memorable "True Faith" / "Love Will Tear Us Apart" category. Of the much-publicized collaborations (the Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan, Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie) it's the lusty half-Stones/half-Stooges leather-trousered swagger of "Rock the Shack"--with the Primal Scream frontman mewing like a lecherous tomcat--which steals the limelight. But in the grand old tradition of leaving the best until last, "Run Wild" is perhaps New Order's most touching moment--folky acoustic guitar, lonesome sentiment, teardrop melodica, the line "If Jesus comes to take your hand, I won't let go" and warm strings sweeping in to offer support like the touch of a much-cherished comfort blanket. Get Ready is a great album, one which secures New Order's future far further than they could have imagined. --Kevin Maidment
The mixes are usually strong, and these two mighty re-workings are no exception. Funk D'Void's mix is a crowning glory to a successful year. It hammers down the thundering beats that seem to throw Sumner's vocal in and out of a wave of distortion.
It brings out a tough edge, but retains the feel of the original by making excellent use of the vocal. James Holden's 'Heavy Dub' rides on a tribal feel with a deep, funky bassline, leaving just enough room for an atmospheric breakdown.

Sumner stuns Berliners with 1966 taunt
By Dale Johnson
Bernard Sumner shocked fans at a concert in Berlin this week (Nov 15th)when he dedicated a song to David Beckham and taunted them about the 1966 World Cup final.
After eight years out of the spotlight, New Order are back with their new album 'Get Ready' and a national tour, kicking off in the band's hometown of Manchester. Backstage's Rajesh Mirchandani caught up with the band's bassist Peter Hook after their first night and talked to the legendary 'Hooky' about the band's re-awakening.
How many times have you played here before?
The first time we played here was when we were very, very small, funnily enough. We supported Nevermind The Buzzcocks on their first tour. It was literally our tenth gig or something. It's like going back to school- when you were at school everything seemed huge and then you come back and it's dead small. It's really weird. But it seemed huge and we were all terrified. But we're not terrified tonight. If we were starting in Glasgow we would be very nervous but Manchester is like home, so we feel protected We've been working very hard and we are actually looking forward to it.
Are you getting nervous, it being the first tour in eight years?
Because we've been so well received coming back with the LP and single, I'm not really that worried. It has to be the simple fact that I listen to it and I think we're great. So I'm just happy to play, although I will be nervous. I always amaze everybody with how nervous I get before I play, but yeah, I'm really looking forward to it.
How do you prepare for going back on tour?
It's quite strange when I met my wife, and she never realised how much I've been away rehearsing. It's such a hard slog, and it really wears you out. It has to start from scratch. And if you're using sequences, just getting those ready could take you months.
What prompted you to come out of New Order hibernation and do a new record?
We had such problems internally in New Order because of the demise of Factory, and because of the problems with the Hacienda. I think it's the whole thing about how you always go for the ones nearest to you. I think we just turned all our anger inward. I think by getting away from each other for a while, time is a great healer. We just mellowed over a few years, and then Rob was so sick and tired people asking him what we were doing, and he wanted to know, for his benefit, as well. He got us together and lo and behold when he got us together it was like going home for Christmas, you're terrified and when you get there it's like, oh the same! I think we need that space and I think we've come back stronger than ever.
And ex-Smashing Pumpkins Billy Corgan is on the album too.
Billy and Bobby are old friends. I played on Billy Corgan's last LP and Bernard played on Primal Scream's 'Xterminator.' So it's quite nice getting these young bloods in. It's like being a vampire, really, they've been sucking off us so long now we're sucking it back, you see! They've both big fans of ours and will happily say what an influence we were on them, so it's quite nice if they've stolen something from us we can steal something from them.
You talked earlier about Hacienda, Factory Records, all of which are going to be immortalised in a new movie: '24 Hour Party People'. What do you think about that?
I'm looking forward to it. The great thing about the story is, because you've lived it and you know everything that happened, the nice things I find are the bits people get wrong. They're the bits that are most entertaining! So I'm looking forward to see what things they've got wrong in the film.
So round up for us: what can fans expect from a New Order gig?
Well, they can expect us to be very serious about what we're doing, and basically just playing our music to the best of our ability.
"I actually took Vic Reeves to Sasha's place once but there was a police cordon around his house and they all had bullet proof vests on so we couldn't get in so I took him to another party and he passed out. The story is when he was asleep I took his shoes and glasses off and just left him and he had to make his way back from Moss Side. I did blame it on someone else but it was actually me."
