Product Description

From Amazon.com

If there was a certain irony to the surviving members of Joy Division recasting the angst-ridden muse of band founder/suicide victim Ian Curtis as New Order's often catchy melodic synth-pop, there's ample evidence on this compelling four-disc retrospective to suggest that Curtis's troubled spirit and dark sense of humor continued to haunt his influential musical progeny long after his passing. Crucially, the band has foresworn strict historical autobiography here for a more Rashomon-like approach, allowing four outsiders to compile the anthology's component discs. The resulting four chapters focus on distinct, well-defined facets of the band's music: journalists Miranda Sawyer and John McReady serve up the hits-oriented "Pop" and moody, album-cut and B-side centered "Fan" discs, respectively, while Manchester DJ and Factory Records A&R man Mike Pickering presents a baker's dozen of the band's pioneering club mixes (six previously unavailable in the U.S.) on the "Club" disc and Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie culls together the ultimate, career-spanning N.O. concert set from a trove of unreleased soundboard recordings on "Live." Band members weigh in throughout the set's artful, straightforward liner notes with often sardonic track-by-track commentary, but it's the outside-in viewpoint that makes this such a worthy companion to Joy Division's similarly scaled Heart and Soul anthology. --Jerry McCulley

Chronique amazon.fr

Peu de groupes auraient pu se remettre de la disparition d'une figure emblématique comme l'était Ian Curtis. C'est ce que sont parvenus à faire les membres survivants de Joy Division au fil de l'épopée New Order, amorcée dans la douleur fin 1980. Mieux, tout en pérennisant l'œuvre sombre de Joy Division et la passion tardive de Curtis pour Kraftwerk, la formation a su se réinventer, rénovant par là même la grammaire musicale dans son ensemble. Sans "Everything's Gone Green" (1981) et le fondateur "Blue Monday" (1983), c'est toute la scène électronique des vingt dernières années qui se serait sentie orpheline. Ce somptueux coffret achèvera de convaincre les incrédules. Parole aux fans, le menu a été concocté par des admirateurs et proches de New Order. Résultat : quatre CD qui rendent parfaitement compte des facettes changeantes du groupe et s'articulent de la manière suivante : une sélection forcément tonitruante de singles, une collection de faces-B et de titres d'albums, un disque entier de remixes et enfin des morceaux live provenant de bandes amassées depuis vingt ans (à la qualité sonore variable). De quoi définitivement asseoir New Order comme l'ultime symbole d'un crossover pop-rock-electro brillamment réussi. New Order méritait un hommage tout particulier. C'est chose faite avec ce Retro. --Fabrice Privé

3.0 out of 5 stars same song, different verse, Feb 13 2003

Russell E. Scott "futurestar" (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Retro (Audio CD)

To all of those fans that are so enamored with the total of New Order's Retro as if it were some neon beacon to a heavenly portal I can only say, "this comet which draws your mind through the universe is radiant only to the blind. Enter this universe child, enter this birth dream chamber and fly against the flaming metallic walls of fire. Clinical scheme of love here - tortures". (Final note - New Order is my favorite band of all time. The total of their material is awe inspiring. The fact they left this project to others shows their total disinterest which reflects in the sub par results. 2 of these disc are throwaways - LIVE and CLUB. The only real surprise and credible contribution is the 5th bonus disc. I imagine this one will collect a lot of dust after a few token spins. I expected more and we all deserve it. I foresee many of these for sale on eBay at half price or less very soon).

5.0 out of 5 stars It is a MUST for all ¡�true¡ newOrder fans., Jun 2 2004

Waikwong Yeung "sacrums1" (Seattle USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Retro (Audio CD)

Ok, ok, we know it is going to take 11 discs to capture all the singles and album tracks and remixes and live materials. So, forget that for now. I have all their Lps, 12¡, Cds. I still find these 4/5 Cds great to have.

The 4 disc set is great too! If you have some luck, get the 5th disc. (I accidentally got the 5th disc). The POP disc is a good set of the wonderful singles. The FAN disc contains important great songs from the albums. The CLUB disc, hmmm, newOrder started the remixing/re-writing songs from the albums trent. And the live disc¡K.oh my, oh my, the ones in the 80s! I went to see newOrder in the 80s, and 90s. In the 80s, they played in small night clubs in the States. They would come out at midnight sometimes, and the sets usually lasted only about an hour. You have to be there to really get it. I almost fainted when they played ¡�Your silent face¡ on stage! That was then, this is now.

So, if you are a true fan of newOrder, get the box.

5.0 out of 5 stars box it man!, Dec 3 2003

steve (ellesmere port,uk.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Retro (Audio CD)

this collection is getting a lot of bad reviews from new order
fans!!,why? its great stuff really. unreleased remixes,b-sides
classic 12` mixes on cd for the first time,a good book and the
usual peter saville artwork. i love new order,yeah i`ve got most
of it already but its still great to be able to see some of the
rarer stuff turning up. there isnt really much missing apart from
the technique b-sides and salvation soundtrack. i do live near
manchester though so i`ve the 5 disc set,which probably makes it
seem alot better! the live disc is important because most of the
tracks aren`t played live now so unless you`re 30+ you`ll only
know the recorded version. a boxset will never be perfect,
because naturally everyone would like it to contain different
tracks. but it`d be interesting to see a dvd boxset.
true new order fans will hopefully agree with my comments
after all,my new order collection is a boxset-only its made
up of cds,videos,vinyl,dvds and memories! anyway if you are
new to the group its near essential if you`re already hooked
its probably already sitting on your shelf with joy divisions
heart and soul.
