new order - your silent face (live 83)

[cornpopsandacid]

No hearing or breathing

No movement, no colors

Just silence

[brajtnerinjo]

reminds me of neon lights and ohm sweet ohm, has that similar epic, but at the same tame naive sound to it

[mojorisingyou]

I saw them on this 1983 tour in Austin at a place called Clubfoot. I remember, aside from the awesome music that Bernard had a cool haircut. I tried emulating it along with my hip Raybans at the time. I miss the 80's.

One of their best, though Kraftwerk have more than an influence on this track.

[sonic777111]

[htmldeity]

Just heard a version of this in the film "Bronson"...hadn't heard it in nearly 25 years...just perfect!

[abagail4me]

@ stellaviolens.Perhaps they were trying to experiment with their live sound as opposed to what it sounded like on their studio/album recording.OK after 1986 they were just following trends but before then they really took chances and pushed classy modern music more than any other UK group.

[ColumRogers]

A beautiful song the synthesizer sends shivers down my spine it's amazing.

[stellaviolens]

Not very well played here . :-\

I saw them that year promoting the new LP and this was one of the most memorable songs from the set. It sounds fantastic at high volume.

[harryestonoesserio]

viva los ochentaa!!

[alpertunga1907]

perfect !

[Cruiserweight9]

Beautiful live recording of one of New Order's more ethereal songs gives a good, plangent swim in the intensity, pulse, and symphonic dreamscape of the PC&L period.

To be honest, I consider this the closing act of the most ambitious and heartfelt period of N.O. After this, they turned to the dance floor and cyanide-laced pop and made some great music, but never with this much aesthetic exploration and commitment.

The ghost of Ian Curtis hovers over this, to its everlasting benefit.

[ybot1983]

@Cruiserweight9 cos it sounds like krafwerk

[MrMusic086]

[anselmorobbiatti23]

favourite song,

favourite song title

from favourite album,

with favourite album artwork.

Sounds a heck of a lot like Kraftwerk, but they put some heart into the machine

[stellaviolens]

I liked the artwork apart from the back cover.

Getting this LP in March 83 was an event and it only cost £3. What a bargain.

Fantastic opening song too.

[alexcurd]

early 80s, once Ian "left", the group began to experiment with new sounds that became more and more synth-based and less intense

[ady10001]

Ian had to die to allow the music to move on.

[drysocketman]

Actually IAN was the one who pushed the synths...

[TheJokerIsDead]

[andyjdking]

Drums sound really great. So harsh, like the sound of industry almost.

[Egurenkone]

They sound a bit like Harmonia here, very krautrock-ish.

[UnhingedMars]

Thanks for the memories - not all good, but thanks anyway !
