I want a belter at the beginning and a weird one at the end, 7 tracks inbetween. I expect it to be available about 4 years from now.

I'd urge everyone to head over to Music for Pleasure and follow the link to Nova Nova & Peter Hook. The two remixes of the song (SLABB REMIX and THIERRY CRISCIONE MIX, which is basically a different song) are exactly what I would like to hear from New Order-- add in Barney's singing and a bit of guitar here and I would be happy as can be. I don't need multiple guitarists or anything fancy... It astounds me, though, that Peter Hook and some random outfit can out-New Order New Order in terms of sound.

(Everything's Gone Grey?) What I'm hoping for less off: Dull strumalong guitar tracks.

Id like to see what would happen in the studio if they got a unknown producer outside of the mainstream pool of producers and maybe something new and distinctive might come from it.

Republic style vocals would be welcome (oops that's 20 years ago now). Better still they could go nuts and have no vocals and do something totally avant garde. Furthermore, if they can make an album as different as Republic is from Technique (I like both, btw) then they'll have done exceedingly well.

It's not just New Order; many bandmates (even those who are good friends) don't spend so much time with each other outside of work. They were not close friends until 2006---they were just co-workers. Co-workers are not always the same as 'friends'.

Chuck in some bold, iconic Peter Hook-style basslines I say. Don't have them softly in the background like the last couple albums, I want to hear them loud and clear. If they aped Peter Hook style basslines on any new material they would invite all sorts of commentary that they can't move on without him and it would hang like an albatross around their necks. Not to mention Hooky himself would probably have a field day laying into them in interview about it; remember the "Round & Round" miming accusations? I'm sure the band have thought about this and would be surprised if any new material features that bass sound. He's no longer in the band, so the remaining members should have no obligation to include his 'presence', sound wise or otherwise. I do not intend to judge the band, until I actually hear something. That's also why the NME article about the 'Do we want music from NO' thing made me irritated--- the NME should not get to decide whether NO should write new music or not.

I remember when Melody Maker was plugging that 1993 'Are they splitting up?' shenanigans and Gillian said, 'I don't understand how people make such a fuss about us splitting up when we were never that together in the first place. It's not like we all sat round the table drinking cuppasoup like Reeves and Mortimer's Slade in residence!' Certainly that was a low period for relations but I somehow got the feeling they were never all that 'together' - just my impression, mind.

But I hope it is an album that proves the haters wrong and make it sound great without Hooky's bass. I definitely would like a return to the electronics and less guitary stuff, but if the guitar stuff is great then I won't complain.

To me it will be a positive balance. I do not count on a new "Low Life" or "Technique" since they came back in 1993. But it could be a little bit more electronic this time.

It sounds to me from the interviews that ehy are at the very least considering this option. As for sound, take The Other Two's propensity for swooning snyth tracks and mix that with Phil's guitar work (similar to what he has done on the live BLT) throwing in Barney's vocals and workman like bass playing and hope it all comes out alright. If they gave you another Crystal, Someone Like You and Here to Stay, I would be pleased. I would agree, let's get away from the heavy guitar tracks, but don't lose the guitar completely -- it can complement the snyths so nicely as we already know.
