The 2015 Complete Music album was a let-down but the remix album is much better IMO. There is also a singles album due out this year that looks very promising.
As an aside, how many side project bands have there been? There's Peter Hook with Monaco, Bernard with Electronic and the other two...
Anyone else recall the New Order VHS video compilation that came out in about 1990 when they stuck a little cut scene into Bizarre Love Triangle? Go to 2 min 37 secs:

Don't know why but that has stuck with me ever since. And how did they get that dog...
Am I imagining things or is there a different version of 1963 on the original tapes and CD to the re-issues? Right at the end I could swear that the words are slightly different in the later versions to the first.
Now that's an entire thread by itself...best intro to a New Order song. You've gone for Age of Consent but there's a good case for True Faith, Thieves Like Us, Subculture, Blue Monday, Bizarre Love Triangle, Round and Round, Every Little Counts....
I'm going for True Faith.
As we discussed previously, El Pres, I don't think Technique saw them at their very peak and I'm going to plump for that but I have a huge soft spot for Low Life and especially because of the first track Love Vigilantes from it where Peter Hook's bass-playing is supreme.
