Looking back

British electro pop heroes NEW ORDER are one of TUTV‘s all-time favorite bands.

The band started not long after their first incarnation as Joy Division ended following
the untimely death of frontman Ian Curtis.

They have released 10 albums (so far), with Music Complete (2016) as their most recent one. By then, bassist Peter Hook was long gone, after internal business disputes.

Their superb debut single Ceremony came out in 1981, af first written for Joy Division.

UNCUT Magazine Introduces A New Ultimate Music Guide Edition – The Stories Of JOY DIVISON & NEW ORDER

Posted on by JL

6 December 2025

British music monthly tells the story of Joy Division, one of the most iconic
post-punks bands ever. It all started with Warsaw, a band set up by Bernard
Sumner and Peter Hook, after seeing the Sex Pistols in 1976, next year 50 years
ago.

Stephen Morris (drummer): ““In Warsaw it was all about the riff. Joy Division was all
about the space. Not to denigrate Ian in any way but we wanted to take it on somewhere.
The question we were asking is, ‘What are we doing?’.”

After Ian Curtis‘s untimely passing, the remaining members decided to continue.

They started to investigate the possibilities of a hybrid electronic/guitar
music as New Order. The succeeding years delivered exceptional albums.

Morris about NO: “I think we all find it daunting starting with nothing. It’s like
you’ve got a mountain to climb and no-one can remember where they’ve put the
ropes. But when New Order’s good, it’s fantastic.”

Significant longplayers from the past

13 May 2025

Manchester‘s synth-pop/rock heroes NEW ORDER released their third album LOW-LIFE today 40 years ago, on 13 May 1985. Along with their sophomore LP ‘Power, Corruption And Lies’ the band’s two premier achievements, in my book. Amazing tunes, dance-floor knockouts, and memorable melodies for all moods. Overall a glowing masterpiece.

It peaked at #7 on the UK Album Charts.

Smash Hits (former British music weekly) wrote: “The songs are much stronger than
usual, not just doomy electronic workouts but memorable melodies with a sense of humour lurking in the words.”
