Title: Excellent Songs Missing
Product review: Combining dance music with alternative rock, this is a great introduction to New Order. Peter Hook handles his bass guitar like the lead guitar, playing melodic bass often in the upper register; Bernard Sumner provides intentionally unemotional singing; and the lyrics are sometimes cryptic. This CD, however, is missing too many of their best songs--"Dreams Never End," "Your Silent Face," "Love Vigilantes," "Temptation," "All the Way," and the album version of "Subculture" and a selection from "Age of Consent," "The Village," "586," "Ceremony," "Everything's Gone Green," "In a Lonely Place," "Cries & Whispers," "Hurt," and "Confused Instrumental." The early version of "586" on _The John Peel Sessions_ is also outstanding.This just shows you the strength of this band. Better would have been a two-disc set or two CDs--part I and part II. Your dance and DJ collection is incomplete without New Order. Four-and-a-half stars.
