I can't say there's anything "intelligent" about Electronic, but I figure everyone on IDM was a New Order fan at some time or another, so maybe it's obliquely pertinent. Is it just me, or is the new Electronic album the worst piece of shite ever to come from such hallowed names as Mr. Sumner and Mr. Marr? Or is that honor reserved for New Order's "Republic" (which I never even bothered to give a listen because the singles were so bad). What parts of it are electronic, rather than electric, sound rather cliched. What input Mr. Bartos had, I can't hear. Mr. Tennant is sorely missed. I just needed to get that off my chest. Che
