yeh really like those tracks, but also love 'shadowplay' partly because it's the
first 'JD' track i heard (also because it's sampled in the crow). loads of my
mates wind me up by saying that 'JD' are crap and that 'NO' are miles better! i
don't mind 'NO', but not really my sort of thing. talking of 'NO' i discovered
on an old cd a live 'Orgy' cover of 'Blue Monday'; seems a strange cover for
them to do, as their style is (not very good) and very different. i don't see
how it's possible to like 'NO' though without liking 'JD' and as for not even
knowing who they were...

Hey Pixie and Aupo,

Separated at birth- my top two are also "New Dawn" and "Day of the
Lords". I'll add "Passover" and the live version of "Novelty".

As for New Order, my older brother is a fanatical NO fan, an obsessed
collector. He "likes" Joy Division. I never could understand that.
