Like this even better than the Perfect Kiss video. Never really been a fan of music videos--usually ruins the song for me, except maybe Clock DVA's Kinetic Engineering tape, but this is impressive (esp for amateur). Not to sound like a cad, but re the brunette: you can somehow tell she's a lovely person (and jaw-droppingly gorgeous!) If I were Mr Disco, I'd certainly search the world for her. Too bad I'm damaged and far away besides.
Hello all... I haven't logged on here in a while so I wanted to say thanks for all the comments, obviously especially the positive ones. To the negative ones, please keep in mind that I shot this video when I was 19, (I'm now 36) we had zero budget, (and pretty amateur equipment) the "actors/models" and I were just friends with no professional experience. And most of all, it was just for fun. You can still hate it, but at least maybe the above facts put a little perspective on things. :)
I had this CD, I was prolly around 21 years old. Man time passes by quickly. I remember the image on the CD, when you unfolded the CD it has like 6 images of that same statue, I used to trip out on that. This music seems so pure, not anything like todays music. I miss the clubbin' scene and doing x and basically just being a freak and a slacker and going out and dancing all the time w/ no worries. If anyone finds or invents a time machine, I got firsts! And I wanna go back to '84 !
Always hated the title...but the song on the other hand...gorgeous swooning synthpop masterpiece and the same could be said for the whole album too - their last 100% flawless record. It soundtracked a whole year of my life back in 1989 - highlighted by one of the best summers in living memory too...my god, I wish I had a time machine, I would fast-zoom back to 1989 and 1990 and just live those two magnificent years over and over again - such good times, such great godlike tunes....bliss!
I don't care what any other POS says, I like this home-made video. I think it's really bizarre to watch woman lipsyncing to a man's voice. Good-looking womens too ;)

Hey FHONIKTM...you capture the mood of the music well. So well, that I actually thought it was some obscure official New Order video, until about halfway through, when I glanced down at a few of of the comments. So, thank you for being that effective. You did good.
Loved this song for years and your video to it is very fitting. As a staunch New Order fan I believe you have captured the same creative ideals as New Order. Well Done! Have the band or anyone associated with New Order ever contacted you about this video?
@dohurturself I can understand. if it means to you that you have not found your true love. That will include many people. luckly now days there are so many places to look in the internet for your true love. Hope you find him/her.
Went on holiday from Manchester Airport when Technique had just come out. On a mega hot day waiting for the lift home it looked like the whole of the city was plastered in cherubs.
The start of this great song will never stop making me laugh, it's too hard to guess where the beat is. For years I thought it was somewhere else, even after the bass drum sound came in - I separated the two parts like two completely different songs, and that was the song to me. I listened to Technique 100s of times, and ti was always this way! Funny start.
MR. Disco? who is that, this is not even mentioned in the song. most of the titles of songs in Technique have almost nothing to do with the content. alternative standard titles could have been, " without you" or "peace of mind" or "can't find you".
I thought the song was one of 3 things. Short relationships that happened on holiday and stay in the mind. Or someone only caught sight of or talked to seen on holiday, imagined about lots afterwards. Or just the notion of wanting to go on holiday and find a lover.
any of those could be correct, it's open to a lot of interpertation. the strongest is the feeling of losing someone you know already or perhaps regretion at losing someone you love.
Of the 3 things the song may be about (in past comment), I think it's the 3rd, the notion of wanting to go on holiday & find a lover. About someone who feels they really need someone they've never met, a song about someone's mind & imagination. Why this subject rather than the others is the section:
And also, the whispered words towards the end of the song are about a number of places the character / singer has been to on holiday looking for someone he imagines, rather than one place where someone had been met previously and is being searched for:
But you're right, it could be any of 3 possibilities, I guess I'm pointing out that it is likely also to be a song about imagination. As the start section has:
How can I ever forget you
You don't know just what I've been through
The holiday we spend together
Lives with me now and forever
But, yet, this may be a lovely depiction of how people looking for love may at first imagine a strong holiday romance which turns into a strong relationship will be.
I'm still with desiguy's suggestion, though. The possible subject I went with in the last few comments - about the imagination only, there never was a relationship, is as strong a possibility as the more immediately likely possibility - about thinking of a real past relationship.
Then again (finally) the title, Mr. Disco, sways me to think that this is a song about the character's / singer's imagination and a person & relationship sought rather than remembered. It's more persuasive that he spends his life imagining the foreign discos he'll be at on holiday, and also that he's at those in persons, seeking someone.
It's also my own preference for the song, which seems to me deeper, & with more insight, than if it were about only memories of a relationship past.
When I 1st loved this song, a time when I was completely taken by both this amazing album 'Technique' & the early European & American house music scenes, I used to think the synth line was funny, brilliant & very cool. Whether or not an intentional reference (I thought it was) it sounds like a close variation on Euro-disco style club dance pop song "Tell it toy My Heart" by Taylor Dane (American late 80s / 90s pop-club-soul singer)
It ave me nice images of the song playing in a Majorca disco.
No, maybe that wasn't 'finally'. I may be swayed the other way, making different sense of the meaning of the title.
The whole musical nature of the song seems to me like a sad disco song, with sympathy and also happiness at what was, with good memories. The character (person) in the song seems to be a disco fan & happy guy who's bound by memories of a past relationship, as desiguy suggested. So the title makes good sense this way, & the character (nature) of the song is maybe more with this.
Was there any special reason for this video to be made in 1994? Or was it a personal project of someone's? Was the single re-released in that year? The song was so cool at the end of the 80s and for the start of the new decade. But I'd have thought it would have needed a remix for '94.
Hmmm? I was asking about the video - I want to know about it. I didn't presume at first this was a home made video put together to share the song in The Web.
Yes, it is indeed a homemade video. I did it with a few friends back in '94 when I was 19. I've always loved the song and thought it would be fun to direct a music video for it. It's a bit on the crude side, but we had a blast doing it! :)
I like your video, specially where the girls mouth the words to the song. congrats. I think i would love to make a video for "vanishing point " i have a few ideas.
Awh, thanks... I was only 19 when I did it in '94, in of all places, Ohio... wish I had the time to do more videos... it's such a fun form of expression.
fhoniktm i wanted to make films and videos too but my career took a different path. anyway the more i view your video the more i appreciate your skills is producing this.
Yeah, it's often that it would only be possible for music makers having videos made for them to say they're international creations. Is the director British?
*y pensar que antes del reggaeton existió algo llamado musica. Dios! por que no nací antes?? por que no puedo pertenecer a una generación que experimentó el estilo de las verdaderas bandas??**
couldn`t give a rat`s arse for the video, the tune, on the other hand, is awesome, as you`d expect from a band at the pinnacle of their profession, can`t quite get my head round the fact that Technique is now 20 yrs old,where does time go
@roge1370 tell me about it . 1989 was a dynamite year technique will always remind me of a summer of sun morrocan black and lager that and the stone roses lp . time passes far to quickly grab it with both hands
@roge1370 Its amazing what wonderful tunes 3 musicians (and ones bird) can come up with when you send them to the Balearic islands (at the height of the acid house phenomenon - Ibiza of all places) with a bag of cash and say "come back when you have an album! - hence a long long time later we have Technique - which Vanishing Point is the best non released single ever, by any band!
@roge1370 The song had no official video, but this no budget videon is a stylish production fitting this song. I know how hard it is to direct amateurs but this is remarkable. thanks for the upload Fhoniktm.
does anybody know the name of the "new order" song, where in the video clip they all walk off the stage and the music continues playing??? plz help, i saw it ages ago and cant remember the name
if we all payed for all the music we had then that, for most normal kids(someones probably looked at my youtube accoutn age which isnt accurate btw) without massive subsidies from generous middleclass parents isnt that much, especially given the extortionate prices. what i do is download music illegally for free, i listen to it, i then gradually expand my cd collection(starting with the best, ive got about 40 cds roughly)
if i didnt download music id be forced to listen to the bleedin radio
furthermore, i imagine new order would be more bothered about respect and esteem than cash cash cash, and more people listening comes from downloading. surely they want to be remembered as a great band rather than forgotten with a generous pension?
plus, there are some albums etc that just arent for sale anymore - id rather download them illegally for free than forget about them.
and enfin, the concept of owning music is almost as ridiculous as the concept of land-ownership
I think your are fooling yourself (guilty conscience) and that New Order want to cash. It may surprise you, but the band members have families and bills to pay.
I bought Technique on CD in 1989 when it first came out, and this was always my favourite track on that album. 20 years later it probably still is, although Round And Round comes quite close.
Yes, this is very good considering the kind of budget you had. It fits the mood of the song perfectly and it is sowewhat reminiscent of Round and Round with all the close ups. I think the framing errors were sort of intentional, right? To add to the loneliness of the lyrics...
Yes, the budget was definitely low... we had zero $. Thanks for the kind words. We wanted it to feel like a NO video and definitely Round and Round was an influence. And you are correct about the framing. The idea was to have these tight crops on the girls, sometime cutting off their eyes, half their face, etc to enforce the "I tried but I can't find you" lyrics. That what they were looking for, that lost love was always far off the frame, far away from reach.
So, did you become a "real video" producer or are you just a one-hit wonder? :) Anyway, Technique was so good that Mr Disco, Vanishing Point and Dream Attack were not singles. I think all three are better than Fine Time.
Oh, my comment just shows you why we can't rely on critics all the time. Someone who never saw Round & Round wouldn't get the reference. And would say "you have framing errors". Also, the girld looking down as they lip-synch the wods is a great touch.
I always thought the last lines were "A master of yoga you really don't do / A cyst on his face cause he never found you" (as unlikely as that sounds).
I remember the CD entire cover for Technique had all these neat colors and stuff. Music was pretty revolutionary around this time, really cool dance music for clubbing
You know Chris, I think it holds up pretty well after 14 years. Really, there are a couple of shots that are a little off, but by and large it was really good. Certainly top notch for a bunch of teenagers trying to make a "real" video. Thanks for posting it! -Stephen
Appreciate the effort and the obvious homage to a band that we both adore, but I can't say that it's very good lol. I also can't say that it's any worse than the rest of New Order's official videos lol.
I love Technique so fucking much. Thanks, Mom, for playing New Order's Technique tape in the car when I was just a little girl. THANK YOU. (#@&$(*@&#$@ING AWESOME TAPE
Technique!! is my favourite album of all time!! Even though dm is my favourite band I got to say I played technique literally a thousand times since junior high!!

And also, the whispered words towards the end of the song are about a number of places the character / singer has been to on holiday looking for someone he imagines, rather than one place where someone had been met previously and is being searched for:
Ibiza, Majorca, Benidorm too
I've seen all those faces, never found you.
[I guess the last line is that or close]

Not that it helps, but there are 3 bands in the world whose complete catalogue I have. New Order are the only one from before 2000 in that list...
Get everything you can by them before it stops getting printed, you'll regret it forever otherwise

if we all payed for all the music we had then that, for most normal kids(someones probably looked at my youtube accoutn age which isnt accurate btw) without massive subsidies from generous middleclass parents isnt that much, especially given the extortionate prices. what i do is download music illegally for free, i listen to it, i then gradually expand my cd collection(starting with the best, ive got about 40 cds roughly)
if i didnt download music id be forced to listen to the bleedin radio
nameshaveallbeenused 2 years ago
furthermore, i imagine new order would be more bothered about respect and esteem than cash cash cash, and more people listening comes from downloading. surely they want to be remembered as a great band rather than forgotten with a generous pension?
plus, there are some albums etc that just arent for sale anymore - id rather download them illegally for free than forget about them.
and enfin, the concept of owning music is almost as ridiculous as the concept of land-ownership
nameshaveallbeenused 2 years ago
I think your are fooling yourself (guilty conscience) and that New Order want to cash. It may surprise you, but the band members have families and bills to pay.

I think it's because we're all New Order fans and the thought of them getting ripped off burns us a little bit...that's all.
If you like their music, you should pay for it.
They deserve it.

I bought Technique on CD in 1989 when it first came out, and this was always my favourite track on that album. 20 years later it probably still is, although Round And Round comes quite close.

The shots of the dark haired girl are wonderful. Doesn't hurt that I think she's very beautiful.
Also, the shot where they're running and the guy is climbing is good.
And finally, were high-waisted jeans really in at that time in Ohio, or were you going for intentional outre? :)

@teddyadorno I am the "dark haired girl" in the video. If I could edit anything out of that video, it would be the high-waisted jeans.

orlandord 2 years ago
Yes, this is very good considering the kind of budget you had. It fits the mood of the song perfectly and it is sowewhat reminiscent of Round and Round with all the close ups. I think the framing errors were sort of intentional, right? To add to the loneliness of the lyrics...
rikkot 2 years ago
Yes, the budget was definitely low... we had zero $. Thanks for the kind words. We wanted it to feel like a NO video and definitely Round and Round was an influence. And you are correct about the framing. The idea was to have these tight crops on the girls, sometime cutting off their eyes, half their face, etc to enforce the "I tried but I can't find you" lyrics. That what they were looking for, that lost love was always far off the frame, far away from reach.

So, did you become a "real video" producer or are you just a one-hit wonder? :) Anyway, Technique was so good that Mr Disco, Vanishing Point and Dream Attack were not singles. I think all three are better than Fine Time.
Oh, my comment just shows you why we can't rely on critics all the time. Someone who never saw Round & Round wouldn't get the reference. And would say "you have framing errors". Also, the girld looking down as they lip-synch the wods is a great touch.

You know Chris, I think it holds up pretty well after 14 years. Really, there are a couple of shots that are a little off, but by and large it was really good. Certainly top notch for a bunch of teenagers trying to make a "real" video. Thanks for posting it! -Stephen
