MORE DETAILS
One of many New Order compilations, 2002's RETRO distinguishes itself as a thematically arranged four-disc box set that covers the dance-friendly U.K. alt-rock band's 1981-2001 output. With all CDs arranged non-chronologically, the "Pop" disc ... Full Descriptionfeatures catchy usual-suspect singles such as "Blue Monday" and "True Faith," while "Fan" delves into revered lesser-known tracks such as the propulsive "Procession" and the chiming "Leave Me Alone." "Club," not surprisingly, consists largely of remixed tracks (including a Chemical Brothers-tweaked version of "Here to Stay"), and "Live" presents concert performances (most notably a '81 recording of "In a Lonely Place") selected by, of all people, Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie. Far from a tidy collection, RETRO does touch on many fine moments by the beloved British act, though those looking for a more, well, orderly set may want to seek out '05's SINGLES.
A different kind of boxed set from a different kind of band. The career-spanning Retro fills four CDs with tracks selected by influential New Order fans who've followed the band for years. Disc One gathers the singles, selected by journalist Miranda Sawyer. Disc Two collects album tracks, selected by journalist John McCready. Disc Three is the remixes, selected by Hacienda DJ Mike Pickering. Disc Four is unreleased live tracks, selected by New Order & Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie. Includes an extensive booklet & digipak box featuring new artwork by renowned designer Peter Saville. Rhino. 200.
New Order: Bernard Sumner (vocals, guitar): Gillian Gilbert (keyboards); Peter Hook (bass); Stephen Morris (drums).
