  • i always though NO reached their peak with the peel sessions 82 release...

  • New Order's purgatory - stuck between darkness and light unsure of their identity. Yet still brilliant in all the confusion.

  • Woven Hand cover of this rules.

  • Unbelieveble maybe the best song ever made.?!!!!!? is it strange babe and such a lonely way.The people around me seemd so glad to be here.Will my time pass so slowly till the day that I fear.?

  • @ronaldvanderkleij "such a strange day"

  • I love YouTube discussion threads. Everybody's a friend and there are no opinionated self important types.

  • Woha .. Like it & stuff .. nice track .. :) gus

  • best New Order album period. Timeless classic. Mabye Ian stayed a while around them in spirit. It's as brilliant as anything Joy Division put out.

  • @electriccolony Question is, if New Order were such good friend's of Ian Curtis, why would he hang himself and destroy all they had built? Some friends, huh? Seems Ian wanted to get away from it all, and hence his baaaaaand!!! Ouch time, guys! Listen to The Eternal, and the line, "with children my time is so wastefully spent", and remember, he spent MOST of his time with New Order!!!! Whoopsie!

  • so added to favs

    

  • Braindriller..

  • Certainly not their worst, but again certainly not their best. It has a bit of a hollow sound to it. Ive heard the new york 1981 gig version of this and i think it sounds way better, the drums especially

  • @madcapoperator Tell me, you genius hipster, what is better than Movement, other than the singles released around the same time? What, Power Corruption and Disco Bullshit, is better? Or maybe you think Lowlife-apt title- rivals Movement?  Could you be one of those "fans" sputtering nonsense in the face of Martin Hannett and New Order's masterpiece?

  • @kidcresh From what you've just said I believe it is you who are the hipster...But yeah those albums you mentioned I do actually preffer to movement. As I said it has a hollow sound to the album but the peel sessions of certain movement songs are the way it should have been done: still atmospheric but not so tinny. Sorry I don't praise everything by the alleged all mighty that is Mr Hannett...

  • the best album of new order

  • he's pretty good at sounding like Ian.

  • All there including Hannett, minus Ian but... sounds like crystals

  • This is incredible,.............. were the heck was I when this was out there

  • Soul pain !!!

  • best ever !!!

  • Serious razor-blade & bathtub music!

  • if i die i want this song at my funeral party

  • I think the first N O album is totally underrated!!! This is definitely in my Top 3 of N O albums!!! Especially this song is one of the best they ever made without Ian...

  • Wovenhand has a cover of this song on their 2010 album "The Threshingfloor" which is excellent.

  • This song is like a poison that I can't stop swilling. Tasty slow acting pain.

  • Love to lock my self in and listen to new order/joydivision.

  • best ever !!!

  • stunning

  • everything about this album is just great. piece of art. amazing. 

  • One of my favourite song ever

  • because its best new order cos ian jus died amigos

  • it only takes that of a second than the room grows cold n im accompanied with chills

  • Fantastic Song and Album. Simply great. Still get goose bumps listening to this.

  • Awesome. One of the best songs on probably the best album New Order made.

  • I love Movement because the mood on the album is almost darker than JDs' stuff. The feeling of death and pain is everywhere on this album, its really powerful stuff, almost hard to listen to sometimes.

  • @dragoon84 comme un hommage à ian....... +élégia...

  • in my opp this is freaking phenomenal

  • Comment removed

  • When I first began listening to Movement once I decided to listen to New Order's material beyond Blue Monday and True Faith, this and Senses were the two songs I was most engaged by. The use of the melodica and drum machine is just brilliant. Probably the most revealing of their early tracks lyrics-wise. I believe it not only eludes to the aftermath of Ian's suicide, but to the death of others close to Bernard, who says he experienced a lot of death and illness in the family as a youngster.

  • @DallyWhitty cqfd!!!!!

  • Movement is (was) New Order's best album.

    In my opinion.

    V.O.I.D.MK20 (MA)

  • @VOIDMK20 absolutely right,in fact this album is my favorite album ever made.

  • the beat and melancholy so sweet .

    turn it up please my wine gone my swell a response to emotion! Thanks for uploading I love this album all the way through as it should be listened to !

  • This is freekin sweet

  • 29 years on and i still whistle this track when bored at work,along with Ceremony,In a Lonely Place,Love Vigilanties,Your Silent Face etc etc...........the best fucking band ever

  • a classical! thanks for posting...

  • Thanks for posting these tracks from Movement.

    I still think this is their best album. Truth is such an intense song. Those analog beatbox rhythms are great.

  • Wow, this was made after Ian's death? The beats sound just like Joy Division.. The band prior to New Order.........

  • damn this album gets better and better. New Order out did themselves here wish they never strayed too off the from the early days.

  • @TheJokerIsDead c'est ce qu'on appelle intemporel,mon ami!

  • @TheJokerIsDead In the New Order documentary Bernard admitted that they, he, wanted to reach a larger audience and to make some money. They did an Sunkist commercial for $200,000 and never looked back. It's too bad that a lot of artist go that route. So, see the acts early in their career before it's too late.

  • @TheJokerIsDead Dude you have hit the nail on Ian's coffin with those comments! Movement is pure Hannett genius and EVERYBODY knows what garbage followed:Temptation, Blue Monday, ad nausea!!!! Blesss you man for speaking up for the dark production genius-Hannett-who gave us Closer and ALL JD's numbers, a true labor of love at that!!!

  • @kidcresh So you consider Temptation and Blue Monday to be garbage? Yeah, you're a prick.

  • They were just improving as musicians, their best friend just died, and this was their first album without him.

  • @41htdex leur meilleur d'ailleurs;dans la droite ligne de joy division;après c'est devenu de la pop,avec plus ou moins de réussite...

  • I love this album..it's probably NO's BEST...Atmospheric, dark

    and a bit haunting...i can hear Ian's voice in the background...Mr. Curtis u will never be forgotten!!

  • I love this song and such a great album too!!!

  • JD a hard act to follow,believe me,I've seen and heard them live,I was at Erics,seen New Order a few times,saw Joy Division at Eric's in Liverpool,don't matter really,I did,a lot of you didn't,I'm privileledged,you missed out on one of Englands finest,long live IC,one of our green and pleasant lands finest

    I'm pished btw :)

  • did he have a seizure? :/

  • @1JanosAudron Ian Curtis had many.

  • TURN IT DOWN.

  • bissia.. very good points!i agree.

  • if you dont like this album....then you really have a lot to answer to,this track is so missed by so many people!all you need is ears!just listen eh..its not hard peeps.......its mint!and its timeless!

  • Movement is one of the very few truly great albums. Even at their peak JD threw a few crappolas into the mix.

  • Did Barney arrange most of the music in Closer (Did he create the melodies?)

  • No - it was always Ian's band back then.

  • I thought Ian just wrote the lyrics, and vocal melodies.

  • says who? your fanboy's six sense?

  • @punkidjulian The writing for the album was a group collaborative, with some exceptions. The producer was Martin Hannett. He developed the trademark "sound" for the later JD albums

  • Grand song very coooollllll!!!!!!!!!!! :D

  • stunning album and so so dark and menacing. fuck the world in motion shite but money speaks

  • when you go over to yahoo music lyrics why is it that they dont have not one song from this album..one of new orders best?

  • If you're after lyrics to this album, my advice is to check out the World In Motion fan site. So comprehensive it's even got it's own Factory number.

  • great song

  • This is an amazing, dark album. Its darker than anything Joy Division did, seeing as Ian Curtis was dead and buried as they recorded this. Its a shame New Order disowned the amazing gothic sound they developed during this album. It would have been a treat to see them develop along these lines, instead of getting techno'ed out like they did.

  • Comment removed

  • Back in the days on JD no one was naming their sound 'gothic' by the way. It's a shame yes: that most 'fans' never understand their idols, 'cause the later are simply artists and so they explore other directions.

  • I completely agree. I cringe every time I read the "reviews" and how most people seem to dismiss this album as NO's worst. This is by far my favorite and had NO kept this sound, I can only imagine how great they could've been. (Even better than they actually turned out to be).

  • nope. lol. Dude, this pales in comparison to what NO did later! You're being way too subjective. What NO did later on was revolutionary and visionary. Nevertheless, this album is still a masterpiece.

  • karziflora, you`re right. I loved JD at the time, and equally loved NO. I`ve always looked at movement as the last JD album, even though (obviously) Curtis wasn`t there in body.

  • They already had their dose of 'dark' release, they are also Joy Division mind you, now you gonna tell artists what to do? You're obviously not one. Most great artist change direction and try new and different things. Even 'Blue Monday' was ahead of its time but most of the 'fan' scene back then dismissed it.

  • One of the best bands ever
