Here is something I posted a long time ago. I am amazed that I keep this
stuff around:
(from Sep 1997)
Not really idm but worth discussing. A month or so ago I saw mention of
this and found it the other day. New Order was one of those bands who got
me to listen to electronic music to begin with.
Video 5-8-6 is a 22 minute track composed for the opening of the hacienda
back in 81 I beleive. No vocals are present. It is basically new order
doing a electro trance number <i have no other way to describe it>. It
vaguely reminds me of blue monday. The track has a very nice groove and
somewhat stands up today. I found myself nodding along with this 22
minute song. Never once getting bored with it. Kinda lulls you into it.
A little dated yes but way ahead of its time for 81. If you want
something different check it out. If you are a new order fan it is a
must.
As an added bonus, the vinyl version has a b side. The b side has a track
by Joy division. The track is "as you said" and is from the 7 inch (flexi
I think) komakino. The identity of this track comes from a reliable
source. This track is amazing. Sounds like something from today.
Something perhaps on plug research or the like. There are no lyrics and
it is very short.
