and there are even more Joy Division compilations (which is ridiculous because Joy Division only released two albums).\u00a0 If you want EVERYTHING by Joy Division, you should try finding Heart And Soul (the comprehensive four-disc box set).\u00a0 A good overview of New Order is also available, as a four-disc box set (Retro).\u00a0 If you just want the singles, they are all included on Singles (a double-disc set which was released shortly before the band officially split).<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"helvetica\" size=\"3\">After Ian Curtis killed himself, the remaining members of Joy Division became New Order (and the drummer&#8217;s girlfriend joined them on keyboards).\u00a0 Movement was released in 1981.\u00a0 It isn&#8217;t particularly impressive &#8211; especially when compared with everything the band released over the next two decades.\u00a0 Blue Monday marked a significant change of direction for New Order &#8211; from dark and miserable to (relatively) light and upbeat.\u00a0 The band fused disco music with guitars!\u00a0 That caught everyone&#8217;s attention.\u00a0 New Order may have lost some of the original Joy Division fans, but there was a whole new audience eagerly awaiting the next move.\u00a0 The second album (Power, Corruption &amp; Lies) was the turning point.\u00a0 Bernard Sumner had found his true voice &#8211; and was developing his skills with synthesizers.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"New Order - Blue Monday Original 12&quot;

one).\u00a0 For the first time, songs from the album (Low-life) were actually released as singles (albums and singles had previously been kept separate).\u00a0 Shellshock (which was included on the Pretty In Pink soundtrack) confirmed the band&#8217;s pop credentials.\u00a0 The guitars are more prominent on Brotherhood (most of the album has a &#8216;live&#8217; feel to it) &#8211; with the notable exception of Bizarre Love Triangle.\u00a0 A compilation of every 12&#8243; single was released in 1987.\u00a0 The exclusive songs (True Faith and 1963) are both fantastic.\u00a0 Later in the year, a surprise single appeared.\u00a0 Touched By The Hand Of God is another great New Order song.\u00a0 Blue Monday was re-released the following year (remixed by Quincy Jones).<\/font><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"New Order - True Faith\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zzeNAUOp17c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

and the collapse of Factory Records hadn&#8217;t helped.\u00a0 The following year, New Order split up.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"New Order - World ( The Price Of Love )\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cvoWN5Jxskc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

Call) was released in 2005.\u00a0 It was a disappointment.\u00a0 After the official split, Bernard Sumner formed Bad Lieutenant and released one album.\u00a0 Stephen Morris (the drummer) also worked on some of the songs.\u00a0 He and Gillian Gilbert (now his wife) have done a couple of remixes for Nine Inch Nails.\u00a0 Peter Hook&#8217;s band (Freebass) released a few EPs and an album.\u00a0 He also wrote a book about the Hacienda.\u00a0 He is now interfering with the impending release of Lost Sirens (a mini-album containing eight songs which were recorded in 2005, but not included on Waiting For The Sirens&#8217; Call).<\/font><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"New order - Here to stay\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cNJ3bpHe9hw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
