The Killers. Interpol. Franz Ferdinand. Without New Order's influence they could have all ended up making albums of country & western ballads. Since the demise of Joy Division in 1980, the British synth-pop quartet has been diligently changing the course of popular music, lobbing unlikely but inventive hits like "Blue Monday" and "True Faith" into the charts. Twenty-five years on, New Order remains shockingly vital. Its eighth proper album overflows with shimmering melodies, anchored by Peter Hook's spine-tingling bass lines and Bernard Sumner's thin but emotive voice in thrilling new songs like "Krafty" and "Dracula's Castle." -- Aidin Vaziri

5 out of 5 stars Smashing.......2007-02-08

I'd drifted away from New Order in the past decade or so. Even the inclusion of Billy Corgan wasn't enough to pique my interest, 'cause the music didn't seem to be as good as their old stuff. I finally got around to checking out this album a couple of months ago, and was blown away. It's a terrific collection of songs that on any other album would be highlights. Catchy, clever, compulsive, and classic - and that's just the compliments beginning with 'C'. Great stuff.

5 out of 5 stars Greatest Album since Beatles White Album.......2006-11-14

It is now November 2006 and I still can't take it out of my deck. I also have it in my MP3 player. I went to the Concert in May 2005 and believe the band keeps getting better and better. I await their next album. Buy this one though.

5 out of 5 stars SUMNER.......2006-11-03

what a great band. I have been a fan of this band since republic came out and now i have everything by them i am a fanatic when it comes to them. this is a great album with great catchy songs. great music from manchester england. this is classic music , not the crap you hear in america the top forty crap. great music from manchester, when i think of now order i always think of england. bernard sumner has one of the greatest voices ever and peter hook is a classic. my favorite songs on this album are KRAFTY, WAITING FOR THE SIRENS CALL , WHO"S JOE and so many others great songs. can't wait for the new album.

5 out of 5 stars The Comeback Continues..........2006-10-31

Great album - more synth-heavy and musically diverse than 2001's GET READY, but not as cohesive or moving. Possibly not the best choice to start with for new fans, tho. Try LOW-LIFE instead. Here's a quick breakdown:

Who's Joe (8/10): Excellent opener saved from mediocrity by spectacular bass riffs during the chorus.

Hey Now (7/10): Unfortunately, Hooky didn't save this bland rocker (oxymoron?) from relative mediocrity. Sounds more like Electronic (Barney's side project with former Smith's guitarist Johnny Marr) than NO. Not that Electronic's so bad...

Krafty (10/10): Possibly their greatest single ever (and this is really saying something!). Absolute New Order heaven. Reminds me of their criminally unknown track, Such A Good Thing.

Waiting For The Siren's Call (10/10): Another all-time classic - better than virtually anything since 93's Regret. One of Hook's most distinctive and addictive licks ever, and a masterful performance by the entire group. It's flabbergasting they're this good 25 years on!

I Told You So (8/10): An abrupt switch to pure techno, which would not have worked if the song wasn't so good. Like many NO tunes, this one's a grower. Dark, swaggering, sophisticated, & sexual.

Morning Night And Day (7/10): Here's where the album starts sagging. Nothing awful, but the next few don't even compare to tracks 3 and 4. Still, pretty good ear candy.

Dracula's Castle (7/10): Run of the mill. Too synth- heavy and melodically meandering. Should have been a b-side for Krafty.

Jetstream (8/10): Not bad - this one was a minor hit - but something about it leaves me cold. This dancy, druggy collaboration with Ana Matronic didn't really need to be a single.

Guilt Is A Useless Emotion (9/10): Great title, great song. Pure, stomping techno, the likes of which we haven't heard from NO since 89's TECHNIQUE. Unlike some of the previous numbers, this time the electronica really works for them. The first in a trilogy of whoppers that close out SIREN'S CALL.

Turn (9/10): Cited by many online fans as the best track, this one's a driving and emotional pop gem - elegiac, catchy, and more rock-oriented like the first four tracks.

Working Overtime (9/10): Adrenalized punk-pop, Green Day-style. It all comes together on this fantastically alive rocker that leaves you grinning as the disk stops. NO have a long history of closing their albums in grand style, and this is one of their best. Along the same lines as Rock The Shack, but distinctly better.

Overall grade: 9/10. Heed the call.

4 out of 5 stars Grows On You..........2006-10-28

I've had this album for quite some time now, and after initially being disappointed,the album has steadily grown on me. The songs are incredibly catchy and seem to linger...and somehow the album returns to the CD player.

**** out of 5.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great song.......2005-11-15

I actually bought this just to complete my New Order collection but now I'm surprised how this has become one of my favorites. The Jacknife Lee mix in particular is a great complement to the Glimmers 12" mix of Krafty.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect!.......2005-10-28

I was hoping to get a good remix of track 2 ... I was lucky ;-). What surprised me more, was the fact that the single version (as we know it from Singles & A Collection (DVD)) here is just as long as the album version, but it has all the good things of it AND more... I actually heard a short voice singing after 2:20min. and I think that and more small changes makes this version richer/fuller than the album version (which I already loved). Hooky's bass takes a small step backwards and the synths are more in the front compared to the original album version and Barney sings clearer here. Rich Costey did a tremendous job... a must buy for every serious New Order fan and for me, the BEST single of 2005. Period.

    Album Details

    The Eigth Studio Album from the Morphed Joy Division is their First Full Length in Four Years and the First Since 2001's "Get Ready". The Leadoff Single, "Krafty", Shows a Return to their Dance-electronic Roots and Sets the Tone for These Proceedings. Songs Like "i Told You So" and "Morning Night and Day" Show a Progression from the Guitar-edginess Rock of "Get Ready", Replacing it with Electro Elementals, While "Working Overtime" Recalls their Postpunk Roots. Peter Hook's Melodic Bass Lines Run Through the Whole of the Album. The Song "Jetstream" Includes a Cameo Appearance from Scissor Sister Ana Matronic. The Album was Produced by Tore Johansson (Franz Ferdinand, the Cardigans).

    Customer Reviews:

    5 out of 5 stars An amazing Irish trad album.......2004-01-11

    Another fine, fine instrumental album by this Irish master fiddler. When you're playing at the level Peoples is at, the need to push yourself and to find unusual new material -- or fresh takes on familiar tunes -- must be immense. On this new set, Peoples lives up to all our expectations... and then some! Odd, angular melodies, broken, unhurried rhythms, and keening, slight dissonances that create intricate new keys of their own are the hallmarks of his rugged yet eloquent, soulful style. Tune after tune will draw you in and richly reward close listening... I've never been a big fan of the endless jigs and reels of Celtic trad, but this album is a delight, full of surprising approaches to seemingly familiar music. No studio trickery or crossover touches either -- these tunes are played with the sparsest of instrumentation, either solo, or with a bit of guitar, but People's playing is ornate enough to match any hotshot trad band you can think of... An impressive performance... highly recommended!

    5 out of 5 stars A thoroughly entrancing performance.......2003-09-11

    Imagine coming across a wonderful violin player in some public venue like Boston's Fanueil Hall. You stop and stand in awe at the beauty of the performance, and wonder why you can't find anything like this on CD. That's what this CD is! Tommy People's playing is the most perfectly natural and unmannered performance you can imagine. It's infectiously lively and engaging, with just the right touch of meloncholy that makes Irish/Celtic music so special. No fancy new-age slickness here. Just a wonderfully humane and entrancing performance. Highly recommended.

    5 out of 5 stars Silence please!.......2006-08-30

    My only reason for buying this CD is the track 4:33 by Frank Zappa. 4:33 minutes of total silence, well almost total silence because you can hear a little background noices in the control room of Frank. It is a very interesting cd. But if you are not a fan of Zappa or Cage, and you like to hear music I say: buy something else. If you are ready for an experiment: buy this one or the CD Roaratorio.

    5 out of 5 stars Georgia Stone the best antiwar composition to date.......2002-12-15

    The whole collection is interesting. However, the great moment of this collection is the Ono contribution Georgia Stone. It's a fluxus symphony. Never have I heard a more poignant antiwar piece. It rates in power and beauty to Henryk Gorecki's Symphony #3 with soprano Dawn Upshaw. If anyone ever doubted the genius of Yoko Ono as being relevant and an artist of the highest calibre then listen to this masterpiece and you'll be jolted into her energy as an artist. Yoko, give us more of this kind of music.

    5 out of 5 stars unknown..but i'm real excited.......2001-06-05

    Jspark wrote a review that totally grabbed my intrest..I did my senior art history project on John Cage..using random sheets of paper for the lecture. the idea of hitting the "random button" is a great idea..and the idea of running two disks at once is even neater..being a big fan of just about everybody on the cd..especially Laurie Anderson doesnt hurt either... I haven't heard it yet, but i think i'll be sticking with the 5 star rating.

    5 out of 5 stars What? 183 tracks? What for? There is a reason..........1999-08-03

    It might be bewildering at first. The first disc has 98 tracks; the second, 85. If you listen straight through, you do not perceive any discontinuity. A collection of John Cage pieces performed by friends, collegues, and admirers. Frank Zappa (American composer [complete biographical blurb that he provided]) contributed 4'33". Laurie Anderson tells a few Merce Cunningham tales. Seems like a fun tribute from the git-go. But wait! (And this is where the fun begins!) Switch your CD player to the shuffle (random) mode. Now look what happens. It goes from, say, Yoko Ono's piece to the Kronos to the Moraz prepared piano performance to Ken Nordine's narration - all in the matter of seconds. It is a great to homage to Cage himself with the great use of the random chance operations that he might have enjoyed. Every performance of this disc becomes a unique experience (just like Cage). For even more fun, try playing both discs at the same time (provided, of course, you have the means; if not, improvise). Or add another sound source as well, like, say, the radio, or the television very low, or a tape of white noise. The possibilities are endless. I had the pleasure of trying this one day with FOUR players going on simulataneously: two with these discs, another with Miles Davis far in the background, the fourth with a disc of bird calls. It was quite a fun sound environment and I would not hesitate to try it again. But that was my experience. Your experience may be different.

    4 out of 5 stars NOT BAD.......2006-03-25

    This would make a good workout tape to get the heart going. I agree with reviewer "BUZZ" that the lyrics are sometimes nonsensical and silly. The music is very interesting.
    I get the same feeling listening to this fresh stuff as I did when I heard REM for the first time live in Madison 20 years ago. It has a freshness much like Morrisey's latest.

    5 out of 5 stars Best Work In Years.......2005-12-11

    I will admit to being a hardcore New Order fan, so anyone reading this should go in knowing that -- there's not a lot I don't like about them, have just about everything they've ever done, CD singles, bootlegs, live, you name.

    Having said that, I have to admit I thought their last few albums have been a touch weak -- though I loved "Regret," the rest of the album was, well, uneven. Republic needed something, and the Soccer thing was okay, but not up to them. Crystal? Well, again, okay.

    Again, my favorite NO album is Technique, probably a contrarian view to the Blue Monday folks, or the Substance - post JD crowd. But it hangs together as an album quite well. Hence, after a lot of verbiage, I can say I was extremely pleased by "Waiting for the Sirens Call." It's not old New Order, it's just New Order and a whole lot of talent -- Barney's voice is as it is, not the range of Mariah Carey, thank God, but it has so much character I really like, maybe it's presumptuous of an American to say, but it sounds like Manchester working folks.

    The songs are catchy, though not quite pop, and maybe it's just me, but I love the lyrics -- "writing songs on your computer," evidently some others don't like that, I think it's self-consciously ironic and sardonic, even a bit self-deprecating.

    My only quibble is that the weakest song on the album comes first -- the whole "Joe" effort was more a B-side work and should have been left to a CD-Single, the album would have been better without it.

    I do hope this isn't their swan song, they don't really churn out the albums like some other bands, though they all have side-projects, which keep some folks going (Love'em all actually).

    One last thought -- Hook's innovative bass sometimes is a little strong in the mix, but it really has held up over time, I'm surprised he hasn't been copied more, and of course the NO synth, though maybe influenced heavily by Kraftwerk, was really a new thing back then and they probably helped create everything from Electronica to Drums and Bass to Techno and Technometal.

    Not a bad decades work for a band.

    5 out of 5 stars excellent evolution of a great band.......2005-11-07

    I disagree with the previous review and I really have grown to like WFTSC. Actually, I think the lyrics are very good on this CD. I listened to NO 20 years ago, and I appreciate how the band has evolved and grown up (along with myself). We're all 20 years older since then and I give NO great credit for not trying to just re-hash an earlier era like so many bands.

    Perfect Kiss and Confusion were fantastic songs in their day - and still timelessly hold their own. But the Summer of Love was 20 years ago. Ian Curtis died 25 years ago. And 1963 was...

    Get this CD if you're a NO fan. It's a solid work in my opinion with no "filler".

    4 out of 5 stars Why do I like these guys anyway?.......2005-05-07

    Okay let's be honest: While instrumentally these guys are talented and their music is fun, Bernard Sumner's singing is barely passable and his lyrics are often embarassing ("You have the brightest future/writing songs on your computer...." I mean, give me a BREAK). And yet, I give the CD four stars. Hmmmm......well, did I mention that instrumentally they are talented and their music is fun? Bottom line: if you have enjoyed the last couple of releases from NO, you will enjoy this as well. But there is nothing new here, nothing that will change your life or inspire you to save the world. This is not a genius-level work of art. What it is: solid, fun rock that makes me happy as I crank it up and sing along as I drive home from work at the end of the day. So maybe it will change my life after all: perhaps it is an antidote against road rage. One word of warning: as with previous NO releases, if you are a fan of Joy Division (which I am, big time), do not buy this or any NO release based on their former affiliation with that band. Sumner is a decent musician, but the brutal truth is that neither his lyrics nor his voice hold a candle to Ian Curtis. Nope. New Order is a different and--let's be honest--lesser musical animal than JD was. So I give it four stars, and even that may be a stretch (if Amazon had half stars I would give it 3.5), but hey, being happy while singing on the way home from work is worth something, right?

      5 out of 5 stars Worth the Wait for the Sirens' Call.......2005-04-20

      In my opinion, this is by far the best thing New Order has ever put out. It's so many lightyears ahead of Get Ready that it's hard for me to even think of it as the same band. Please forgive me if you liked Get Ready, but I couldn't stand it. To be honest, though, I've never been a huge New Order fan. I loved the big classics of course ("Blue Monday," "Bizarre Love Triangle," and "True Faith"), but I much preferred Sumner's work in Electronic. To me, this album almost sounds more like Electronic than New Order. But in any case, it's an amazing piece of work. Every track is killer, except for the last one, which is a piece of blah Britrock that just doesn't do anything for me. The majority of the album is upbeat and full of hooks, synths, and guitars. A few of the songs are even club-ready. Though first single "Krafty" and next single "Jetstream" are more than worthy to be singles, I seriously think ANY track (other than "Overtime") could be a single. They're that good. Therefore, it's very tough to pick favorites. But to throw a few out there, "Hey Now What You Doing," "Morning Night and Day," "Dracula's Castle," the title track (my absolute favorite - maybe my favorite song of the year), and of course "Krafty" might be in the lead. I'm so thrilled that there is finally an album that is making me love New Order as much as I've always WANTED to love them. This, along with the new Fischerspooner album, are making 2005 a momentous year for this synthpop/electro/new wave fan.

      4 out of 5 stars Homecoming Day.......2005-04-10

      Because New Order both created and perfected its own genre of dance-oriented rock, each new release is greeted with anticipation and trepidation. How can they top themselves? Will they disappoint us? They answers are simple: They can't. And, most likely you'll feel let down. But that anxiety lasts for half of the opening song ("Who's Joe?") on their eighth studio release, Waiting for the Sirens' Call, until Bernard Sumner's syncopated bar chords lock step with Peter Hook's ubiquitous bass runs and the effortless drumming of Stephen Morris. And from then on it's homecoming day. True, there's nothing new here. No dark groove breakthrough like "Temptation". No proto-techno like "Blue Monday". Yet here is the sound of a band doing what they do at the top of their game. Think of the Rolling Stones on Some Girls or Tattoo You, and you're halfway there. Waiting for the Sirens' Call is the sound of a band enjoying its own fantastic company. Let go of your anticipatory expectations, and chances are it'll thrill you, too.

      5 out of 5 stars THEIR FINEST HOUR.......2005-03-29

      Hands down to a band whose members are approaching middle age yet leave their contemporaries trailing in the dust. This is how a band SHOULD sound after 4 decades of songwriting. There is something here on this album for everyone, the perfect blend of melodic pop, rock and techno from start to finish. I can't say enough about how great this album is. Get it and feel like your 19 again.

      4 out of 5 stars Krafty!.......2005-03-28

      "You've gotta look at life the way it oughta be." Such is the simple lesson at the center of "Krafty," the leadoff single for New Order's first studio creation in 4 years. Through the band's eyes, it seems life oughta be a warm place with hooks that instantly engage the mind and possibly the dancing feet.

      Steering away from 2001's guitar-heavy Get Ready, on Waiting For the Sirens Call New Order once again embrace a universe of instantly memorable pop hooks infused with an ever-present, but never oppressive, air of melancholy. It is music that is slow to sink in and possibly will even seem ephemeral at first listen, but when heard multiple times it is an album you will want to hear again and again. From the shiny pop-rock of "Morning Night and Day" to the Kraftwerkian electronics of "Krafty," Waiting For the Sirens Call is a pop masterpiece that ranks with the band's best work.

      When New Order first emerged from the ashes of Joy Division, Bernard Sumner's tentative vocals were frequently buried deep in the band's densely electronic mix. In the intervening two decades Sumner's confidence as a vocalist has grown consistently. On Waiting For the Sirens Call his voice is central to every song and shines as a gorgeous instrument that effortlessly reflects the varying emotional colors encountered in daily interactions with people from the most intimate of relationships to a more generalized sense of the human race.

      Waiting For the Sirens Call is infused with perhaps the warmest, most organic, sound atmosphere yet heard on a New Order album. The cautionary "Hey Now What You Doing" and the jangly "Turn" revel in equal echoes of mid-80's R.E.M. and mid-70's California rock. The dreamy "Who's Joe" goes down smoothly as well. However, New Order haven't completely abandoned their heavily electronic roots. "I Told You So" is built on an engaging techno-reggae beat and leadoff single "Krafty" is such a perfect recreation of the band's classic electronic feel that you may check the calendar to ensure it's not actually 1983.

      In the past, New Order have influenced if not wholly shifted the direction of pop and dance music with their own releases. Their classic "Blue Monday" is often cited as a groundbreaking landmark. With its warm, comforting, organic feel, Waiting For the Sirens Call is unlikely to break new ground, but once heard a few times it will linger long on personal playlists. Jangly guitars, crystalline synths and the mellow longing of Bernard Sumner's voice will stir emotion. Like the best in pop music, it first settles into a comfortable place in the head then ultimately comes to rest in the heart

      Amazon.com

      A Fritz Kreisler recording can always be recognized by the violinist's beefy, baritonal sonority, inimitable portamento, and communicative warmth. Most of the repertoire here consists of the short, encore pieces that prevailed in the era of 78rpm records, many penned or arranged by Kreisler, who was always on the lookout for memorable tunes. Familiar classics like the duets with John McCormack, and Schubert, Beethoven, and Grieg sonata collaborations with Rachmaninoff turn up alongside rare alternate takes and Kreisler's lone recording as a piano soloist in Dvořak's Humoresque. One should savor these musical sweetmeats in small portions, rather than wolfing down each disc in chronological gulps. Ward Marston's transfers are beyond praise. -- Jed Distler

      5 out of 5 stars Kind of Amazing.......2005-12-08

      First thing I be wondering is where RCA (BMG--now probably Wal-Mart) got the idea that a $120 set of Kreisler faves--most short 78-era items--would be marketable? I'd love to check the Homeland Security records and see just who bought this set. I would never have sprung for it but now that I was given one I have to comment on it. Amazing!

      First, there's the playing. This is a professionally ebullient fiddler. Technically astounding, but with the communicative warmth the other reviewers seem to uniformly note. I find violin tiring to the ear sometimes, but not this guy's violin. A joy to listen to.

      Second, the selection. Fairly much 11 discs of solid "pop" music--a kind of Fiedlerian dream world where every piece catches the attention usually because of potent melodic pungency. I found myself looking forward to each cut, knowing I would be well-rewarded. Kreisler chose his repertoire well.

      Third, oh yeah sure, nostalgia. Everything here is an echo of a world that passed largely by 1914 and was already deep nostalgia for many by the time these last recordings were made in the 1940s. I'm not sure there's anything wrong with that, it's a kind of longing not for an idealized past but for aspects of that past that are clearly missing in the world today (or even back in 1948 when the last tracks were set down). Heck, I listen to Beethoven and find myself getting nostalgic for an era when my local department store music department would make a big deal out of a new Bernstein release and a major network would actually give Lennie time to talk about classical music to the masses.

      Anyway, I never intended to own the collection, now I do and I'd replace it in the blink of an eye. Charming and entertaining from disc one to disc eleven.

      5 out of 5 stars Almost painfully beautiful music/playing.......2005-05-08

      It is one of the real advatages of modern life that we can still hear and be moved by artists from the early 20th century. As listners, there are probably psychological factors that predispose us to be touched by the original rather than someone imitating a style from the past. Part of the psychological impact for me is the nostalgia element and connections this music has to memories of my ancestors who where alive when this music was being played and recorded. But beyond the listener's psychological factor(s) the artists from the early 20th century had a completely different set of musical and non-musical experiences from our contempory artists. A contemporary artist trying to duplicate the style from another era often sounds false and affected. Regardless, ultimately performances have to stand on their own musical merit. These most definately do.

      5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Ravishing!.......2001-03-24

      Ever since he first toured The U.S as a child in 1888 with pianist Moritz Rosenthal Fritz Kreisler's musical talents have left us spellbound. His playing combines a searching intelligence with intense and delightful musicality, his mellow honey-like tone appeals to the heartstrings, and awakens enthusiasm in his listeners. He was a great violinist who at the same time could touch and charm his audience. I highly reccomend this set to all lovers of the violin!

      5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Incredible!.......1999-12-10

      I would give this set a 10 stars, if I were allowed to. Kreisler has been my favorite violinist as far as I can remember, and have never gotten tired of his playing (and never will be either!) His playing has deceptive ease and elegance that makes people forget how phenominal his technique was(just listen to his crystalline trills and amazing articulation of fast runs). And even at his sweetest moments, his performance always had strong backbone and never sank into tasteless sentimentality. Kreisler's playing was really one of the kind and anyone who loves violin should listen to his recordings. I cannot recommend this set highly enough! The CD transfer is excellent.
