New Wave Dance Classic: A Must Have . What would have happened if Ian Curtis had not pulled the plug on his own life? It is a hard question to ask since I am a very devoted Joy Division Fan but I also am a good fan of New Order. I have to say that I imagine Joy Division might have recorded one ore two more albums and broken up: New Order may have never been. So while it is tragic that Curtis committed suicide it gave the way for the rest of Joy Division the license to effectively reinvent themselves as New Order. The band is very Different from JD but in "Power, Corruption Lies" , New Order's first, we hear a hint of JD with a burst of new creativity that must have been the results of a painful and cathartic period. The music on this album is more heavily Synth and Drum based than any of the JD material though maybe not as much as later New Order work. By 1983 synths and drum machines were just coming into their own and this year saw the invention of the MIDI interface for synths etc. It was also a time when the new wave movement was finally getting solidified. All history aside, the album is great: it is upbeat, full of poppy dance tracks and a real new wave classic. If you are buying the album just for "Blue Monday" (a track so good even a horrible band like Orgy could make a hit out of it) you are in for a real surprise. You will find many of the other tracks to be great as well. "Age of Consent" is among my other favorites. This is another great track for dancing. Also "the Village" is a great track as well. If you are going to buy two New Order albums get this one and Substance. Although they share a few tracks they are both great. I find that this album get far more play though. This is a must have for the New Order fan of course. But also fans of new wave/'80's music and Joy Division fans alike should also buy this one. This album has received so much acclaim and has been so influential in its 20-year life span that it should be a must have for any modern music fan. I highly recommend it! -- Ted Murena

Typical Greatest Hits (Not) . As with most Greatest Hits collections, the record company leaves off just enough hits to make you wonder "What they were thinking?" They also put on a few tracks that make you wonder "What were they thinking?" Here, there are some obscure tracks that clearly are "filler" while omitting some of his best tracks from rock radio and even Top 40 Hits? Where is I Found Somebody? (Oops, that was only his first Top 40 "hit") Where is "Partytown"? (Probably his best party song and a big hit on AOR radio in the early 80's). "Don't Give Up" was also a rock radio track and a great song from his first album. I would title this album "Some Hits, Some Mediocre Stuff, Some Stuff Sorely Missing, Sorry." Now, where is that Eagles box set we have been waiting 20 years for

Auspicious Debut . This is a great debut album from a very talented Canadian artist named Amanda Marshall. She's had big success in Canada, but not so much in the US. I don't understand why that is, and if you listen to this CD I think you'll agree with me. There was 6 big singles from this album, and even the non single tracks are awesome. The closing track "Promises" is stunning and raw in emotion. "Let It Rain" was the first single and it's definately a powerful song that resonates with listeners, a song about searching for redemption. "Dark Horse" was also a big hit. "Birmingham" is a great song about a woman in an abusive relationship who finally leaves her man. "Fall From Grace" and "Beautiful Goodbye" were also singles and other favorites of mine. I highly recommend checking this CD out if you haven't already
