New Order - Waiting For The Sirens' Call

RELEASED 28TH MARCH 2005 THROUGH LONDON RECORDS

After the planet-shagging success of 2001's "Get Ready" and 2002's 'this-is-how-you-do-it' four CD boxset "Retro", Manchester's finest ever band, New Order, return with their new, hotly anticipated album, "WAITING FOR THE SIRENS' CALL". Showcasing New Order's unique ability to both shake the dancefloor and rock the hardest, Sirens is that rare thing: an album for everyone. Its eleven songs take in influences as diverse as electro, rock, dancehall and punk, all bound together by New Order's cool romance, diamond-hard modernity and wild, unparalleled musicality.

First single, KRAFTY", is bass-driven, machine-like, ridiculously catchy. The title track is wistful and sublime, considered by the band to be one of the best tracks they've ever made. Then there's the perfect pop of "JETSTREAM' (Bernard's vocals augmented by Scissor Sister Ana Matronic); the wry, hilarious regret of "MORNING NIGHT AND DAY"; "I TOLD YOU SO"'s reckless ragga lope; the Iggy stomper "WORKING OVERTIME"; the anthemic, tuneful "ROAD TO RUIN". "WAITING FOR THE SIRENS' CALL" is the diverse, devastating, delicious sound of a great band at its peak.

This energetic, upbeat album was carefully recorded over seven months, using a 'Who's Who' of producers, including Stephen Street, John Leckie, Stuart Price and New Order themselves. A sustained burst of song-writing by the band resulted in 18 completed songs, a first for New Order - Bernard:
