今天英國發 retro 了...
所以,如果 petshopboy 你買到的話,
記得另外起個標題。
我希望在親自拿到之前先不要看到有關的評論... :p
最少還要一個禮拜,嗚嗚。
retro box set 官方網站: http://www.neworderretro.com
現在是個連一片西低都有官方網站的時代啊。-_-
不知道 steven 提到的 Q 內頁照是不是就是 pop 那一頁的照片?
如果是的話,我覺得不會難看啊!:)
只是紅眼真的很嚴重就是,不會修一下啊!:p
裡面介紹了四位負責選曲的人,
還有一些他們對某些歌曲的小評論,蠻有趣的。
我想應該也會在 box 的小冊子裡吧!
貼在下面:
MIRANDA SAWYER
A journalist who took advantage of New Order's generosity as a
teenager. Became a friend of the band in the 90s.
I had an out-of-body, lose-your-mind experience whilst dancing
to New Order's Temptation. It was around 1984, at The Ritz, on
Whitworth Street - halfway between Rotters and The Hacienda,
in several senses. Anyway, I remember I danced for the entire
seven minutes of the track - hurling myself around the highly
sprung dance floor, looking like a maniac, but feeling like a
shooting star. Which is the point of dancing. You know,
I feel so extraordinary. . .
JOHN McCREADY
Journalist and one time DJ. He met the band through the Hacienda
and Rob Gretton. A friend since the late 80's.
At the time I was House Crusader Number One, drunk on the legacy
of this music and its deep roots in disco. A zealot, I was
troubled by New Order's thinly-veiled perversion of disco's dark
electronic tributary and how they had taken our secret knowledge
and twisted it backwards, combing it with a unique pop sensibility.
MIKE PICKERING
The eponymous M of M People, A&R at Factory, DJ at the Hacienda
for many years and long-time friend of the band.
Manchester and the UK music scene should be forever indebted to
New Order. They were the pioneers of the fusion of rock and
electronic music at a time it was considered unfashionable.
BOBBY GILLESPIE
Lead singer with Primal Scream. Friend of the band since the
early 80's. Recently appeared on Rock the Shack featured on the
album Get Ready.
The first time I saw New Order play was early 1981, in the Plaza
Ballroom in Glasgow. It was a weird gig, because there was a
huge expectancy about it. I'd seen Joy Division supporting The
Buzzcocks in '79, and that was fucking good.
But then you had the whole drama of Ian Curtis killing himself,
and then the Closer album and Love Will Tear Us Apart, and you
thought, 'how the fuck do these guys follow this up?' So there
was this whole mystery surrounding the gig - and the equipment
kept breaking down, which was quite frustrating for Bernard.
The stage was surrounded by people: you could go behind the stage
because there was a glass wall and there were loads of people
there, and then everyone in front of them too. I remember Bernard
came on with this Hitler youth haircut, white shirt with sleeves
rolled up, and a black semi-acoustic guitar, brogues and grey
trousers. He looked like Oscar in The Tin Drum. A crazy gig,
really unusual, really weird, spooky. Dramatic.

本來還想貼對歌曲的感想,但今天被硬碟弄得筋疲力盡啦!
