The best New Order’s movies

Live at Finsbury Park 9th June 2002

The concept of this promo directed by Kathryn Bigelow was proposed by New Order's manager Rob Gretton, who was inspired by the clichés of the videos of then-popular American glam metal groups on MTV. Bigelow intercut the band footage with a narrative between Bill Paxton and Femi Gardiner.

A short film made in 1984 by the band New Order which sees them interview the personnel behind their record label Factory, including Tony Wilson, Martin Hannett, Rob Gretton, Alan Erasmus, and Peter Saville amongst others. It also includes three live performances of New Order at the Haçienda.

This isn't a documentary, but two completely separate concerts performed by the legends. The first finds them in 1981 playing New York. It's fascinating to see, because they still have that Joy Division image hanging over them. Brilliantly, they don't speak to the audience, or themselves. Heavily relies on the 'Movement' album, but has a proto Temptation, which is always good to hear. The second is their appearance at the 1998 Reading Festival, which is basically a greatest hits set, but there's nothing better than a New Order greatest hits: Regret, Bizarre Love Triangle, True Faith, Temptation (again!) and, of course, Blue Monday. The Joy Division back catalogue is also given a dusting down: Isolation, Atmosphere, Heart and Soul. Then there is an interview with the original four (we miss you Gillian) which reveals them completely at ease with their legend. God bless them.

This collection features all of New Order's groundbreaking videos, including 'Bizarre Love', 'Triangle', 'Blue Monday' and 'True Faith' plus alternate versions and brand new videos for 'Temptation' and 'Ceremony' created just for this compilation. It also includes the latest video from their current album - the title track 'Waiting for the Sirens Call'. Tracklist: 'Ceremony', 'Confusion', 'The Perfect Kiss', 'Shellshock', 'State of the Nation', 'Temptation', 'Bizarre Love Triangle', 'True Faith', 'Touched By the Hand of God', 'Blue Monday', 'Fine Time', 'Round & Round', 'Run', 'World in Motion', 'Regret', 'Ruined in a Day', 'World', 'Spooky', '1963', 'Crystal', '60 Miles an Hour', 'Here To Stay', 'Krafty', 'Jetstream' and 'Waiting for the Sirens' Call'.
