A New Order concert documentary due to air on Sky Arts in the UK next month will provide, ‘a rare chance to enter the band’s private world, understand the visual philosophy of their aesthetic and design, and witness their collaborative, creative processes first hand’ according to the channel.
Decades will focus on the band’s So It Goes collaboration at the 2017 Manchester International Festival with artist Liam Gillick and a synthesiser-based orchestra whilst also looking back at key moments in their history.
It’s the latest project from New Order since the release of Music Complete in 2015 represented ‘a complete rebirth‘ according to Live4ever:
“It almost goes without saying that the collective’s no-Hook prerogative is being flouted to its max; ‘People On The High Line‘ thumps with a limb-wrecking Cantina piano heft, whilst ‘The Game‘ tics nervously around a hybrid programming/people axis.”
