Oddities In Music - The Good And The Bad (18 music items)

"By 1989, New Order was ready to close the door on everything in their past, including their Joy Division history. When you look back at everything this band made, every single album was just a stepping stone to Technique. It's not a shock that many claim this is their greatest album and accomplishment. New Order ultimately ran the table in the 80's with dance music. Some regard them as the greatest "Dance/Rock" band ever created. Everything, including their Joy Division history led up to this p"

Perfection

“I waited a long, long time before I touched New Order's exit of the 80's. The band that ruled the decade and revolutionized Synth Pop/New Wave for the future of what we call House and Techno music today. Look no further than Technique.

"GOLD. Curse me music gods for never listening to Technique! This is perhaps New Order's finest work. This is pure disco. This is a club album. I had heard Fine Time before, but never the rest of this album. It starts out strong and ends well. I love the album, you can just imagine tripping on some LSD or acid listening to this record and the statue changing colors. Vanishing Point is probably the most underrated New Order song of all time. Highlights would include Run (Fuck John Denver, it don"
