New Order - Technique FLAC album

Partly recorded on the island of Ibiza, it incorporates Balearic beat and acid house influences into the group's dance-rock sound. The album was influenced by the then growing acid scene, and Sumner's experiences in the 500 Club in New York and Shroom in London.

Technique was the group's most striking production job, with the single "Fine Time" proving a close runner-up to "Blue Monday" as the most extroverted dance track in the band's catalog. Opening the record, it was a portrait of a group unrecognizable from its origins, delivering lascivious and extroverted come-ons amid pounding beats. It appeared that dance had fully taken over from rock, with the guitars and bass only brought in for a quick solo or bridge

Fine Time, the opener, helps sum up the power of Technique, while Run, Vanishing Point, and Love Less bring disco to the table. Dream Attack, however", leaves an acoustic feel throughout its 39-40 minute run. All in all, it’s another fine time.

The band formed after the demise of Joy Division, following the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis; they were joined by Gillian Gilbert on keyboards later that year.

Album · 1989 · 9 Songs. At the decade's beginning, they were still dour post-punks, but by 1989 they were sunbathing in Ibiza and turning out ecstatic rave-ups influenced by the island's long nights. The guitar-led "All the Way", "Love Less" and "Dream Attack" are extensions of Brotherhood's lush rock sound, but "Fine Time", "Vanishing Point", "Mr Disco" and the Latin-tinged "Round & Round" plunge giddily into acid house.

The opener is fantastic but whatever the album has left to offer is just mediocre. It isn't terrible, but it's the reason for why the band began to fall apart.
