From www.neworderonline.com:

New Order has rounded up 22 music videos and a 1993 documentary for the upcoming DVD "Item," due Sept. 13 via Warner Music. According to a spokesperson, one disc of the package includes clips for such classic tracks as "Blue Monday," "True Faith," "Bizarre Love Triangle," "The Perfect Kiss" and "Regret," as well as two newly shot videos for "Ceremony" and "Temptation."

The other disc will house the documentary "New Order Story," which chronicles the group transformation from Joy Division into worldwide dance/rock superstars. The film was previously released on VHS but has been expanded here to twice its original 70-minute length.

New Order is finishing up summer touring in support of its new Warner Bros. album, “Waiting for the Sirens' Call.” Bassist Peter Hook told Billboard.com this spring that the band has enough leftover material, such as the track “Stay With Me,” to form the bulk of another new album, although no release date has been penciled in.

“We did actually sit there facing each other with absolutely nothing,” Hook recalls of the start of the “Sirens' Call” sessions. “It was quite an incredible moment, actually. Because now, two-and-a-half years later, with an album finished and eight songs ready for the next album, which is probably the most prolific we've ever been, you can't even imagine for one minute what it was like to sit there with nothing.”

Here is the track list for “Item":

"Blue Monday"
"Confusion"
"The Perfect Kiss"
"Shellshock"
"State of the Nation"
"Bizarre Love Triangle"
"True Faith"
"Touched by the Hand of God"
"Fine Time"
"Round & Round"
"Run"
"World in Motion"
"Regret"
"Ruined in a Day"
"World"
"Spooky"
"1963"
"Crystal"
"60 Miles an Hour"
"Here To Stay"
"Krafty"
"Jetstream"
"Ceremony" (alternate video)
"Temptation" (alternative video)

YAY!

new order has made me very happy this year. a good album, a good concert, a new DVD to look forward to, and they keep teasing us with another album that might come out sooner than six years from now.

This looks beautiful ~ I need a second job just for money to spend on music ~~~~~ and concert tickets!!!!

Me too. I've been on a Joy Division/New Order high for the past 5 years. I can't believe how much these bands mean to me now. And it was such a thrill to finally be able to see them live. All of their releases - Retro, Get Ready and the new one couldn't fit my mood more perfectly. I hope they put out that follow-up soon.

Documentary sounds cool, they are always ones for a good, dry, honest account of what happened.


Promo vids though..? Even though NO did some of the better ones, there is no getting away from the simple fact: Promos ALWAYS suck.

Great news!! The expanded documentary is probably the same as the 140 minute long version from the Japanese Laserdisc.Absolutely worth getting because it has Joy Divison's performance of Transmission from UK Television & a live version of Blue Monday from TOTP.

the documentary will be cool, but i'm really looking forward to the video anthology. sometimes their clips look like screensavers, but everything i've seen is really beautiful.

No, you're not. Yer dry.

GangstaFam said:

This possibly can't be a legitimate release? I have a 2 DVD set with exactly the same content & the quality is piss-poor.

HamsterHuey said:

Not for long though.

PhilG said:

You're probably right. But it'd still be worth having for me. I imagine the source material is pretty bad at this point, so even an official release wouldn't look all that great.

Their new video with Ana Matronic is great!

Cheek said:

Still haven't seen.

GangstaFam said:

Hehehe.

GangstaFam said:

Can I come over to your house and watch? Shadowplay of the Granada TV show... it's one of my favest versions.

HamsterHuey said:

Absolutely. You just need to quit hinting at this trip to the U.S. and get your ass here.

"Touched by the Hand of God"

that has to be one of the worst videos e.v.e.r.

IstenSzek said:

Again, never seen. But I can't wait to!

GangstaFam said:

They look like Def Leppard, gone horribly wrong

Big 80's hair and sleaveless jeans jackets if I

recall correct. Only dared to watch it once

IstenSzek said:

That sounds rad! I bet I'll love it. :nerd:

GangstaFam said:

Hehehe Hipsters R Us.

HamsterHuey said:

You're gonna make me pay for this, aren't you?

GangstaFam said:

Hehehe
It's a worthy goal.
