I am not blaiming Gillian Scott_Evil...my point is when she left , for very good reasons, the feminity and vulnerabilty that she brought to NewOrder ended. They said when any member left Joy Division that the band would cease from that point. My point is NewOrder should have ended when she left. After Technique they did only 2 good tracks...Regret and Crystal...thats all. By continuing like some circus act they have damaged not only New Orders legacy but also Joy Divisions. Look at these new remasters they have just issued...just a rehash of tracks available before...they are just doing it for the money like Hooky said

have to agree with Hooky...the last album was shite jingly jangly pop. Should have ended it when Gillian left just like Joy Division ended when Ian "left". The early stuff was great though and have been listening to Hurt alot recently....that period of NewOrder was fantastic and musically exciting
