That is so 80s it hurts. And yet he's such a cool bastard he almost carries it off!

The first NO song to actually have any attempt at clock-synching was Blue Monday. Not MIDI though. Temptation and Everything's Gone green were produced by playing a drum machine through a synth and changing the pitch of the notes by manually playing the keyboard (with two fingers).

OK she doesn't do much on stage but Gillian standing motionless to the left of Barney playing two-finger keyboard lines is essential part of NO. They are 3/4 NO without her. And I still rather fancy her! My first serious girlfriend was the image of her. Sigh! :)<< Agreed, but the original three-piece New Order (with all three singing) was quite something. > > More alarmingly, I had heard that they had been working with the guitarist from indie no-marks Marion, Oh no! I hear their lead singer is now in chokey after being busted for Heroin.<< Why am I not surprised at this... >and that Billy was just doing the US gigs... Gawd help us. I could do better meself. Honest. Me too, New Order guitar parts are among the easiest ever written, easier than Wire! .<< The simplicity/non-muso factor is definitely a big attraction of both bands for me. >> Actually I'd rather fill Hookys shoes! I'm a dab hand at the Low Slung Bass! << Bet you haven't got a Shergold Marathon 6-string bass though ;-) >>Not sure about the Leather kecks though. >> Check out the New Order DVD that's just come out and weep at the decline in coolness between 1981 and 1998....
