Still, I'm looking forward to it and will approach the material with an open mind. They're still my favourite band and that counts for a lot despite all the bullshit. Contrary to my last post,there will be NO promotional cdr's or digital downloads for selected press and/or fansites, had official confirmation of this yesterday. |

I guess that means there will be no interviews or reviews in magazines also, I guess since they are not together anymore they probably want to avoid the same old questions and stay away from saying stuff about each other. Still I think people will buy this album and it will sell well out there. |

Of course there will be reviews and they may not be kind, but this release will cause a lot of awkwardness I feel because of the strained relations between Hooky and the rest of the band, for example, will there be a launch party for the album, will all of the band attend? Will they pose for pictures together? Is it even safe to put Hooky and Bernard in a room together?

Records usually leak via torrent downloads, and there have been 3 fake releases so far. All came with a password-protected zip folder with a file that leads to a survey website, which asks that you buy a mobile game in order to download a file with the password

I got caught out by one of those fakes about 2 months ago, I downloaded the zipped file which contained 102mb which would be just about right for 8 songs? but when I tried to open it I knew I had been sold a pup...Serves me right for trying to steal a march and get an exclusive preview  I would have purchased it anyway..I swear..

Interesting; that may be the quickest way to hear these songs in full, with a release date of 11th January according to your link Linus. The physical release isn't expected until several days after that as far I can tell.

That's a shame. But Linus, why don't you apply to be their moderator? You're ahead of everyone with the latest news anyway and I think you'd get a kick out of it. Seriously. I would not mind it and would love to do it but I doubt that they would let me do it anyway, thanks for mentioning it. Seriously, you should send them a resume. They need a dedicated admin. The site was okay with updating during the tour but it has been really neglected since November (save for the post about the Festival Awards a couple of weeks ago). I think it took the admin there a month to note that, oh yeah, the US tour was now finished. I get that NO has been on a well-deserved break, but their people need to update it more frequently-- not necessarily every day, but a couple of times a week to keep the traffic up. I've quit checking it because there's never anything new there. The lack of info about Lost Sirens is head-scratching. Edited by user 29 December 2012 06:53:02(UTC)

Well... Not to be a smart arse but it Is NEWORDERNOW. Perhaps they cannot promote it on that site. Legal crap. |

More publicity=more units sold=bigger payout for Hooky, and since he doesn't pay for NON, it's free publicity for him. (Which actually may be why the site is staying quiet on this.) Granted, I have zero clue what the final deal was that allowed this release to happen, so who knows.

Well, maybe now that NON stuck it to Hooky by getting it released, they want to stick to him by making sure he gets as small a payoff as possible.

Not surprised about the lack of promotion. It's an 8 year old album of outtakes really- Something only "hardcore" fans care about.
Although I am sure we will get a brace of mid Jan interviews from Peter working the "last real New Order album" angle.
Still- Really looking forward to hearing it and very glad it's nearly out. |

Yeah I think if the roster hadn't changed this would be promoted a bit more.
I imagine it could be confusing for casual fans who saw the band live last year, seeing what they think is a new New Order album from the people they saw live.

Just imagine, by now, we may have even been looking forward to their 10th studio album being released in 2013.

Why so fast it is not even the 14th yet. No idea why, I ordered it 2 days ago from DiverseVinyl who claimed to have it in stock. Unless the indie record stores have received them early and are trying to out do the big chains by selling them before the release date. Have to wait and see what the postie brings tomorrow

Their Facebook page has updates about the release, although short and curt. Intresting thing is, it also has an update on one of Hooky'a book signings. And almost a million likes, which is probably why it's more important to the management/record company than a webpage.

Just got mine from Piccadilly Records this morning. They must have had a few copies in early. Listening now. Enjoying Recoil quite a lot. I'll post a brief review in a bit. Hoping some others get copies today too!
