NewOrder* ‎– (The Best Of) NewOrder

Not necessarily the best of their compilations (if there's such at all), but undoubtedly the first to be approached by the newbies. Here's the New Order as they are supposed to be remembered - not fully rocky, yet not entirely electronic band with heart and soul set to create some great tunes, confusing lyrics, and great atmosphere of pop ceremony. It's good that some singles were omitted (cause they suck on 7"), leaving behind a well-selected and combined hits and bits (World In Motion is here). It's a good start into NO, don't go further if you don't like it.

There are some great tracks on this release, but the US version inexplicably omits "The Perfect Kiss," a very popular New Order standard. Arguably there are other tracks that should have been included as well. The listener is probably much better off burning themselves their own "Best Of..." disc instead of buying a corporation's committee-assembled compilation.
