My #NewOrderTop30 recap. Of course, the order and the songs (for the bottom half, let's say) change depending on the day, as any good New Order fan knows! So many I had to leave off that I think I might create a Top 50 at some point! 😅

#NewOrderTop30 0️⃣1️⃣ Bizarre Love Triangle Extended Dance Mix version. A perfect song that makes you dance & sing, with a slight alternative edge. Something about the synths and the arrangement makes your heart soar. Love the recent versions but see 2:27 for the scream. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lfru...

#NewOrderTop30 0️⃣2️⃣ Blue Monday! Still the best dance song in the world. The original 12" is sublime. I'm posting a live performance from 1985 because I love the guitar--Bernard is very good at inserting strange noises where they sound fantastic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Td6...

#NewOrderTop30 0️⃣3️⃣ The Perfect Kiss 12" What a perfect song! It has too many elements to mention, but my fav is the bass synth line. For live versions, though, I can't get enough of Bernard's guitar. Check out Bestival 2012 from about 4:08 on. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL6b...
