New! New Order!

A few years back I got a big shock when I made a lunchtime visit to Smoke CDs (back in the day when they had an actual shop). There on the counter was a brand new album by New Order! What was even more of a surprise, once I got the CD home, was that they were sounding as great as ever.

So the news that those middle-aged mancunians have another new album out this month (scheduled for the 28th) is very welcome. And from the two tracks I've heard so far, it may even be better than their last comeback effort.

Sadly, Gillian is absent on this one, but Hooky, Barney and her hubby Stephen are all present and correct, joined by guitarist/keyboardist Phil Cunningham - who did a sterling job on the Finsbury Park DVD.

Yay!
