New Order have announced a brand new edition of last year’s ‘Music Complete‘ album.
‘Complete Music‘ is released on May 13th and will present alternate mixes of all eleven original tracks, most of which will be available on CD and download for the first time. New artwork is being provided by the band’s hugely talented, former Factory mucker Peter Saville.
“It’s probably inappropriate, but let’s go back to Peter Hook now for a final thought on chemistry,” our ‘Music Complete’ review reads. “When this writer spoke to him in 2012 about the experience of recording ‘Technique’ he was typically honest: ‘There was quite a lot of tension in the band when we made Technique.”
“It was a weird contradiction not liking each other but at the same time making a great album, but Tony Wilson said to us afterwards that artists have to hate each other to make great music’.”
“Bold, creative and without doubt a tour-de-force, as ‘Music Complete’ however proves, even visionaries like Wilson himself are sometimes wrong.”
