I feel forced to write a review of this magnificent album as a response to the perplexing review that B.Viberg wrote. Visage? Dear God they were pitiful. "Technique" was typical of New Order's ability to lead in the genre that they ruled in for so long. Fine Time was soaked in the influence of the time, NME, in their review of the album when released, described the ambient noises in Fine Time as "the sound of Christ applauding their genius". Bernard Sumner as well as being unsung as a guitarist is also a great producer and utilizer of technology. Technique stands as the last great New Order album, a mixture of amazing cutting edge (at the time) beats and top notch pop tunes. New Order came from the remnants of one of the greatest bands of all time, Joy Division, they made the music of that band and they pioneered dance music, they did it all with an impeccable cool . This album was the end of an era, Factory was soon to be no more and New Order never captured that brilliance again, listening to it today, 17 years on it still sounds fresh and beautifully recorded. Arguably their best album.

Pherhaps New Order`s more upbeat and danceable album, "Technique" stands as a good piece of late eighties pop. It shows that they were poignant percursors of the dance scene, delivering innovative and catchy songs that still have their appeal even if some years have passed already. It`s a dated record, sure, as one can easily identify the time period it came out, yet most of the songs are strong and still carry some freshness. The first track, "Fine Time", is a dazzling and addictive dance number, proving the band`s creativity and talent.
Bernard Summers` vocals are, as usual, one of the highpoints, making a perfect combination with the electronic-oriented soundscapes. Although it`s a worthwile record, "Technique" has a couple of moments that seem a bit too samey, so some diversity would be welcome.
A solid musical experience, nonetheless, and a fine effort from the MADchester dance scene.

Technique~ New Order. Many people will say that I must have lost my mind. How can I like Visage, Depeche Mode and other 80's bands and not like New Order. The answer is quite simple. New Order, should have been called Self Love. They are a group semi tallent musicians that play prententious and often irritating music that sucks the life out of the listener. I hated this album and this supposed to be one of their better ones.
