New Order

[ThePumisher]

Ok, so theres plenty of New Order stuff played last night on 6 Music last night as a part of the 6 Music Artist Collection


As part of the 6 Music Artist Collection on New Order, a chance to hear frontman Bernard Sumner sharing his musical milestones in conversation with Matt Everitt. The programme includes Bernard's recollections of the early punk scene in Manchester, his still raw and painful memories of his friend Ian Curtis' suicide, and the genesis of Blue Monday. (First broadcast in 2010)

Ok not really new, but Kenneth Partridge of Mental Floss has written perhaps the most complete article you will ever read about the making (and release) of Blue Monday.
BTW Mental Floss are well worth a follow on Twitter.

And if you read all the way to the end, you might like this 2 minute video (even though it forgets Hooky's bassline/Ennio Morricone)

If anyone is wondering about the Klein & MBO track, Bernard used it as a template for the structure of Blue Monday. I believe he used the European Connection (instrumental) version in particular.
