About this item

Released in September of 1986, this was New Order's 12th single and typically for them, was not included on the album, Brotherhood which came out only a week later. It's quite overlooked in their canon but I think its absolutely mega, with its pulsing electronic bottom end and oriental keyboard motif. Barney also plays some trademark choppy, funky guitar and the whole thing grooves along just fabulously, The instrumental on the flip is also deep and lush. This band could do no wrong.

Andy says: Another superb non-album single from Factory's finest.
