Description
A fascinating collection of radio sessions throwing up expertly recorded alternate versions of songs from the end of the band’s brief career, which was cruelly curtailed by the death of singer Ian Curtis in May 1980. Lovers of the band will recognise the tracklisting as mainly consisting of tracks from album number two Closer, where the experiments with electronics that would eventually change the world through New Order ultimately began, and the two versions of ‘She’s Lost Control’ and an electronic drum-peppered ‘Insight’ for instance, show this process in progress. That said, the renditions of standalone singles ‘Transmission’ and ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’, not to mention the funky but savage ‘Sound of Music’, show them simply in more straight forward guitar mode, but vastly sharpened up by constant touring compared to the band in evidence on their debut Unknown Pleasures.
Tracklist:
1. “Exercise One” (2:35)
2. “Insight” (3:49)
