New Order On Track: Every Album, Every Song

New Order have produced some of the most influential popular music of the last 40 plus years. A unique vision of alternative electronic rock, forged in Manchester and exported to the world; connecting with the alternative-minded as well as the club-centric, the football fan and the artist, the boffin and the aesthete. The journey of New Order from Salford and Macclesfield to the world has been nothing short of incredible: their punk-ignited founding as Warsaw; the eternally astonishing Joy Division; the rise and fall of Factory Records and The Hacienda; Martin Hannett, Peter Saville, Tony Wilson, Rob Gretton, Arthur Baker, Michael Shamberg, and many other remarkable associations; side hustles as BeMusic, Electronic, Revenge, The Other Two, Monaco, Bad Lieutenant, and The Light; their tragic losses, their unholy messes, their resilience, and, most importantly, the magnificent leftfield music written by band members past and present: Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris, Gillian Gilbert, Phil Cunningham, and Tom Chapman. AUTHOR: Dennis Remmer lives in Brisbane, Queensland: the capital city of Australia’s own ‘north’; a city renowned for its independent music scene. A lifelong devotee of New Order, Dennis has been applying their influence on a lifetime’s exploration of indie, electronic, and alternative music. During the early ‘90s, Dennis produced the very first online discographies for New Order and Factory Records; expanding and evolving them over the next 20 years to become definitive web references endorsed by both band and label. Dennis was later invited by band management to prepare the discography for the official Joy Division website.
