New Order - Waiting For The Sirens' Call

Guilt Is A Useless Emotion (Stuart Price)

Bernard: "A very difficult song to write, with a tortuous route to get to where it is now! I can't categorise it, but loosly, it is a dance record. Get Ready had no dance tunes, which we were very aware of, especially after we toured that record in 2001. It's important to keep the balance.
Hooky: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

Turn (Stephen Street)

Hooky: "We wrote this when it was miserable and rainy, and we wanted to cheer ourselves up!"
Phil: "It's very upbeat and summery".

Working Overtime (Stephen Street)

Hooky: "I think this should be a single. It's dead rocky. I play it when I DJ and people go mad."
Steve: "I love this one because it's based around my drum riff. It sounds a bit Stoogey, but it's not meant to be. But most of music is thievery isn't it? Sometimes I hear a song on the radio and think, This is good, is it one of ours? Then the red mist descends and I think, You robbing bastards!"
Bernard: "I was worried that things were getting a bit flowery and melodic and chordy, so it's great to have a track like this, with a dumb one finger riff. You should never forget that the best music is simple and you don't have to be a great musician to make it."
