New Order - Sub-Culture

[starboy3]

Calm, gentle and beautiful.

[blee3x]

This Low Life version blows away the Substance version.

[ErickSafeShopper]

One of the best tracks ever composed, sung & presented for my delicate ears. WOW!

[irifuda]

I cannot tell how much years I searching for this song !!! Really really appreciate for upload !!! My childhood memories are in my mind cuz this song !!!

[Royfokker73]

The summer between grade 8 and grade 9 I discovered New Order. I miss the my youth and the feeling the music had on my back then. Now I just feel nostalgia.

[MrQuietrob]

Loooooove it !!!!!!!!!!!

[ideiapolitica2011]

what can i say?

remember n' cry...

[ideiapolitica2011]

what can i say?

[MrQuietrob]

I miss my early 20' when I was young, sexy, horny, extremely confused, depressed, and....happy???? Never back to that age.....oh my god if I only could....

[MrQuietrob]

Love this song. Heard it so many times in my early 20's. Where are you guys? Miss you so much. Miss my life back then.

[WZYrover]

When anyone say JD is better that NO, I put on this tune. No offense to Ian, but this is brilliant. I personally feel that this is even bleaker that all of Ian's songs except "Decades", which is on par in terms of the bleakness.

[absouthern1986]

Am I the only person who doesn't hate the remix?

[Royfokker73]

@absouthern1986 I appreciate most of the remixes - that came with growing up in the 80's I guess. Everything was remixed and then the remixes were remixed - which of course meant there would be an album of remixes.

[MsHumanist1]

The original and the best. Absolutely cannot stand the remix with the gospel like singer piping in every second, drowning out the genius of Barney’s raw emotional voice. This version was my theme song as a 14 year old depressed and sad girl- listened to it until I wore out the cassette tape.

[PurpleShadowDragon]

bettter

[veeganboy]

I like raw, unpolished quality of this version.

It's less chaotic than the remix.

Sounds more like a demo.

[jeffreyserna]

The 9 people that disliked this are commies.

[Pulseczar1]

The vocals are terrible in this version. The New Order singer has never been the best at singing on key, but that was part of the appeal. This is just too bad. Recording quality of vocals is bad too. Doesn't sound like it fits in with the instruments.

[EriqueBonito]

Excellent remix! Don't understand the Italo Disco link, but who cares? Sheer brilliance.

[kthankxbye]

god I wish I was 17 again.

[SKOTP69]

It's a lot like my life!

[MrBrightWave]

The remix version is great. People downgrading it doesn't make sense to me. Nevertheless, I love the original version. I first heard it today, and I'm in love with it.

[SUMNERify]

La chanson de ma vie, mon hymne a mon enterrement.

[singaporemusicboy]

one of the best band definitely... but have to admit Bernard's voice is not up to mark. but luckily the music more than makes up for it .....

[mrburial]

"les matins de paaaaris"!!

[TheAdampsb]

Subtsance remix isn't that bad but then I heard it before the original. This one sounds like they got Pet Shop Boys to do it.

Which would actuially be a decent idea

[bankruptstate]

I like this version.

The Substance remix is so cheesey that the PSB's could have done it.....shock horror...I like it (just a little bit).

[Padulas]

@bankruptstate actually the live versions of sub-culture kick ass!!!!!

[Padulas]

probably the best pop song in history

[rudimentaryjl]

voice of a generation...

[SUMNERify]

@rudimentaryjl my génération !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[captaincrap1995]

This is definitely the better of the two

Peter Saville certainly thought so. He disliked the remix so much he said it was not worth his talents hahaha

[michaelj0023]

I don't like this version at all. I like the version that is on"Substance"

[GlorifiedTruth]

@michaelj0023 - Not me.  But it probably depends on which version you cut your teeth on.

[johnnynthng]

@michaelj0023 who cares what u like swine

[magneticedgerep]

The only problem with New Order is that they have so many great songs it is almost impossible to pick a favorite.

[sirkevin1967]

@magneticedgerep I agree with you an extent except with me Sub Culture is my clear favourite New Order song, now finding a second favourite is the difficult part....too many great ones.

[betwes]

Yes, yes, this is the version I was looking for! Thanks for posting. My favorite

[hazybear]

i like both this version and the remix. calling the remix cheesy is ironic because everything about new order is cheesy, theyre a synth pop band for christs sake

[WalVBLG]

Listen to the french copy called "Teki latex feat. lio - les matins de paris "

[adam51172]

WOW I can't tell you how much I miss this record physically. vellum and all

[justus821]

New Order is like The Dawn in the Philippines..both lost great composers but they matured..created awesome sounds and became vestiges of class.

[Sjobeck7]

This version of sub-culture is the only version worth listeing too. fucking brilliant!!!

anyone happen to know what synth that is on the intro? Love that sound = MINT!!!

[Voltairepubcave]

This is one of the best songs in the eighties.A great album of songs, " Low Life".I will hear this with pleasure and emotion through all my life.good times of Pop.

[boyxdance]

@Voltairepubcave mor especifically, good times for rock, new order, an electronic new wave band with a touch of disco/dance

[pachanga1971]

No matter what, this song kills..This song reminds me of the the girl who was 10yrs older than me who I had so much sex with

[micheduleval]

pour Thierry D., l'ami disparu

[SUMNERify]

ETE 1986, le reve revenir en arrière.

[celesiotube]

tall and straight cut

red and gray skies

drawing birds moving

across the sky, thinking.

a river freshens breath

warm the sun sleeps

wait tender berries

commune seasons, animals,

food.

[XBillyMexicoX]

This song brings back so many good memories of being young for me.

[celesiotube]

The Chelsea´s sequoia building 24/46-3 Only in chain roll the glimpse existéchnologic control the seen and sensed by the cores dump the neomodio beams between gufflaws set free the womb over the wire fences slaves of his drags-rubbish sweep the house . buy time for his voluptuos existstaycy take joyers between his sands well-knowns, sighties sloibs travel along closets racketlies the cores that despair of the shorts and line thine of video-life .

[celesiotube]

THE CHELSEA´S SEQUOIA BUILDING 25/46-3

( LOU REED -- WALK ON THE WILD SIDE )

[SUMNERify]

The song of my life

[gradualci]

mp3iffy is the best site to get this mp3. google mp3iffy.

[nhanthao]

there is another version of this song only DJ have it, any one know where we can find them ,Thanks.

[Theemperor1234]

i love this song and im 14

[tradermo1]

A decent singer?? Whoever you are, you are not a New Order fan. Just go back to listening to the "good" singers on the radio and absolute CRAP that is being passed as music today.

[tradermo1]

I just heard this song for the first time in a LONG time on Sirius Satellite radio tonight. I've forgotten what a great track this was on arguably NO's last truly great album.

[TheLasal]

I don't care if they needed a better singer or not.

I recognize myself in the sadness of this tune that's all

[markdearl]

OMG this stuff really guts me, I know the 2010 crowd don't get this shit but you really had to be there...

[aarraarrmando]

the remix version on substance 87 makes this version sound like crap

[soyboy2269]

The music on this version is ok, but I do prefer the remixr. The vocals on the original are really bad. They've definitely been enhanced on the remix and I can appreciate that. New Order should have found themselves a decent singer.

[MsLilianDM]

LOVE THIS TUNE!!

I get the great pleasure to play it in a club...anybody up for it ???

london friday 30th APRIL !!!!!!!!!

ska

[ashingtoon]

This is it! Fucking mint!

[boomstick103]

Why does the other mix of this song show up so often? It is obviously inferior to this one. The other one has too much going on.You can barely hear Barney. All for the Low Life version.

[TerryNutkins80]

Ha, at around the 0:16 mark I expected Ivana Spagna to burst into vocals. Wonderful band though. Easily one of the great acts of the 80's.

[tentheagle]

I DON'T CARE HOW OLD I WILL LOOK

[OrKuSirc]

because I agree with everyone, this is the best version by far Low Life is the best and most complete album of New Order thanks for sharing and upload. 5*****

[MottTheWot]

Most definitely the best version of this song. The 12" version is unlistenable, this was a great New Order album. Probably the peak of New Order, without Bernard Sumner there would be no New Order!

[soupfan1]

This version is awesome. The 12" version sounds too much like a Sega Genesis game.

[edpdx1]

Without Peter Hook New Order would have been nothing

[41htdex]

I like both versions

[weirdalfan1980]

Yes Low life version better then single version, though single is cool, the backing vocals were good, i dont like that wompy bass line, this version sounds polished, perfect for album.

[cortatelacabeza]

me gusta mas esta, que la extend...

[baphochrist]

This version is definitely very good in it's own right and seems more "sincere" for lack of a better word, but I still listen to the substance version much more frequently. Both are damn fine and certainly represent a time when even the pop music on the radio was listenable

[fliesenfuzzi]

I like this version but the Dub-Vulture is grat also!

[Homoholic]

The original version is so much better than the crappy remix which is painfully cheesy even by the Italo Disco standards!

Thanks for posting!

[MrBrightWave]

@Homoholic Italo-Disco was awesome! Chessy, to some extent, but awesome altogether.

[Homoholic]

@MrBrightWave

I agree! Some Italo Disco is quite good, but I prefer this kind of New Wave / alternative dance music that New Order was so good at, in the 80s

There are two different Razormaid remixes of 'Subculture' which are really excellent. Check them out! Needless to say, the crappy remix I referred to in my comment 2 years ago is the awful single mix.

[canada7167]

this version is perfect on Low-Life, and it sounds more natural than the one on substance.

[VanWhistler]

I prefer the Stephen Hague Remix version.

[livelikejackandsally]

May be committing a big sin to all the fans, but I loved the Substance version!

[Bostonclubkid]

Altough I intially resisted the temptation (no pun intended), I must concede... the version on "Substance" is so much more powerful, more moving. It's so much more intense!

[AdamAnt300]

There are just two most important UK bands and that is actually one UK band: Joy Division/New Order

[ycfc]

So much better than the Substance version

[TradaBoy]

ahhhh ... the original ... !!!! (finally)

[piedrada]

You said it ... not sure what goes through the minds of the producers that come up with remixes that undo the greatness of the original mix ...

[JediSoulTrain]

Probably the same going through Speilberg's mind when he made Indiana Jones 4...."Omfg this is so totally awesome and people will buy anything I make!"

[cman7142000]

this version not bad,i prefer faster it .

[Staffyno1]

Ye i can buy in2 Tom Jones singin it, but cher i don't think has the right voice for this song, don't get me wrong she is a talented singer, i personally think her voice would be too high in this instance ...... Oh and Tom Jones and chicane "stoned love" excellent choice lol

[jadedcreature]

would love cher to do a cover of this..

[Staffyno1]

Don't be so fuckin stupid, does you're carer know you're on the internet unsupervised .... lol

i hope u meant it as a joke

[jadedcreature]

her bombastic ..emotive voice would great for this without a doubt

[Staffyno1]

OMG i thought you were joking but no, you are serious, Cher would kill this song, but then again thats only my opinion, but where does it end? Whintney Houstoun singin Blue Monday, Brittney doing a rendition of True Faith, no my friend some things are best left alone....

[jadedcreature]

surely u cant compare whitney and brtney to cher..

[jadedcreature]

tom jones( another bombastic voice ala cher) ALSO would be great for this too..have u heard his song with chicane "stoned in love" ..its amazing..look it up on you tube .theres even a live version up from TOP of the POPs

[jadedcreature]

check out shared videos..i just sent u the live tom/chicane song.. stoned in love..his voice too would be perfect for this

[caterpillard6b]

one of my fave....so sad hooky just left the band fter so many long years of friendship and struggles )-:

[roddy76to86]

It's happened before ! They've had a big fall-out, then got back together some time later. So don't rule anything out with that lot !!

[caterpillard6b]

he,he your info is correct during early 90's... wake up sleeping beauty we're already in the 08's not 80's..lol!!!

[roddy76to86]

Groan...how time flies, I'm 45 and past it !!

[caterpillard6b]

but it's ok ....we still both have the same taste in music, long live new order bro!!:)
