Reviews & Discussion:
S'Express - Original Soundtrack
Sep 09, 2003
One of the seminal albums from pre-lawsuit sampling days. Listening carefully, you can hear loads and loads of uncleared samples throughout, the most pronounced being Karen Finley's "Drop That Ghettoblaster" in Theme From S'Express.
Classic late 80s dance album with a few killer singles.
New Order - Movement
Dec 25, 2002
Definitely the bridge between eras, the bridge between genres and the bridges between dynasties - paving the solid way from Joy Division to the shaky uncertain ground of New Order. Denied the early singles of Ceremony and Procession, Movement still has a lot to offer and that culminates in the excellent Dreams Never End.
New Order - Low-life
Dec 25, 2002
Low-Life is New Order's pinnacle. Every track is a classic. From the haunting beauty of Elegia to the swirling dark guitar mood of Sunrise. The addition of a couple of corking singles in Perfect Kiss and Sub-Culture (although remixed for single issue) help to round out this excellent, albeit short, collection.
This was a first on many levels. The first New Order single of the new decade, the first between album New Order single in quite some time and the first good England World Cup anthem in quite some time as well.
While there may be some dodgy bits, this single really signalled the direction New Order could have gone in, had they not gone their seperate ways for 3 years. Great single overall. | ||||
If you even have a passing interest in Duran Duran, this boxset should be labelled as essential.
