Title: The Best Of New Order Side Projects
Product review: The early '90's found New Order at a crossroads. They hadn't had a release since 1989's "Technique," and the various members were off doing side projects. Bass player Peter Hook formed Revenge, and had one rather forgettable release. The husband and wife team of Gillian Gilbert and Stephen Morris formed The Other Two and had one rather fluffy release. Bernard Sumner joined with Neil Tenant and Johnny Marr and formed the Blind Faith of their day and released this gem. So many good songs, playing on the strengths that the three brought--my fave was "Some Distant Memory," the second-to-last track. "Idiot Country," "Tighten Up" and "Getting Away With It" were also outstanding. New Order's 1993 release "Republic" proved that Sumner would have been better off seeing how far Electronic could go instead of regrouping New Order.
