'''New Order''' are <!-- Do not change to "is". "Are" is the correct grammar for UK English. See WP:ENGVAR. --> an English [[Rock music|rock]] band formed in [[Salford]] in 1980 by vocalist and guitarist [[Bernard Sumner]], bassist [[Peter Hook]], and drummer [[Stephen Morris (musician)|Stephen Morris]]. Their fusion of [[post-punk]], [[electronic music|electronic]], and [[dance music]] made them one of the most acclaimed and influential bands of the 1980s.<ref name=Ankeny>Ankeny, Jason. [{{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p5017|pure_url=yes}} "New Order > Biography"]. [[AllMusic]].

While the band's early years were initially overshadowed by Joy Division's post-punk legacy, their experience in the early 1980s [[New York City|New York]] club scene led them to incorporate dance rhythms and [[Electronic musical instrument|electronic instrument]]ation into their work. Their 1983 hit "[[Blue Monday (New Order song)|Blue Monday]]" became the best-selling [[12-inch single]] of all time and a popular [[club music|club]] track.<ref name=Ankeny/> In the 1980s, they released several successful albums, such as ''[[Power, Corruption & Lies]]'' (1983), ''[[Technique (album)|Technique]]'' (1989), and the [[Single (music)|singles]] compilation album ''[[Substance 1987|Substance]]'' (1987). The band disbanded in 1993 to focus on their individual projects and soon reunited in 1998.

==History==
===Origins and formation: 1977–1980===
{{Main|Joy Division}}
Between 1977 and 1980, [[Ian Curtis]], [[Peter Hook]], [[Stephen Morris (musician)|Stephen Morris]], and [[Bernard Sumner]] were members of the post-punk band [[Joy Division]], often featuring heavy production input from producer [[Martin Hannett]].<ref>[[Rambali, Paul]] (July 1983). "New Order". ''[[The Face (magazine)|The Face]]''.</ref> Curtis died by suicide on 18 May 1980, the day before Joy Division were scheduled to depart for their first North American tour, and before the release of the band's second album, ''[[Closer (Joy Division album)|Closer]]''.

After Curtis's death, the remaining members decided to continue without him.<ref>[[Jon Savage|Savage, Jon]] (July 1994). "Joy Division: Someone Take These Dreams Away." ''[[Mojo (magazine)|Mojo]]''.</ref> Before his death, the band had agreed to stop using the name Joy Division if any member leaves or dies; thus the group chose to perform under a different name after his death.<ref>{{cite web |title=Why did Joy Division change their name? |url=https://www.radiox.co.uk/artists/joy-division/why-did-joy-division-change-their-name/ |website=Radio X |access-date=26 January 2025 |last=O'Gorman |first=Martin |date=18 May 2023}}</ref> During the summer of 1980, the remaining three members recorded their first demos, including a track called "Haystack" with vocalist [[Kevin Hewick]], whom [[Tony Wilson]] had suggested as the band's new frontman.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thisisdig.com/feature/new-order-debut-live-gig-full-story/ |title=New Order's Debut Gig: 'The Surprise on People's Faces Was Priceless' |author=York, Alan |date=30 July 2024 |publisher=Dig! }}</ref> On 29 July 1980, the as-yet unnamed trio debuted live at Manchester's Beach Club.<ref>Flowers, Claude (1995).

They also considered the name The Witch Doctors of [[Zimbabwe]], before finally choosing New Order of Kampuchean Rebels, which was narrowed down to the name New Order<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thisisdig.com/feature/new-order-facts/ |title=You Just Can't Believe Me: 10 New Order Facts You Probably Didn't Know |author=York, Alan |date=29 November 2021 |publisher=Dig! }}</ref> despite its previous use for former [[The Stooges|Stooge]] [[Ron Asheton]]'s band [[The New Order (band)|The New Order]]. The group emphasized that the name [[New Order (Nazism)|New Order]], like [[House of Dolls|Joy Division]], was not intended to reference [[Nazism]] or [[fascism]].<ref name="story">''[[New Order Story|NewOrderStory]]'' [DVD]. Warner Bros. 2005.</ref>

New Order embarked on a short US tour in early autumn 1980. In these shows, Sumner, Morris and Hook all sang lead vocals on different tracks. Sumner ultimately took the role of frontman even though he struggled singing while playing guitar.<ref name="dig">{{cite web |url=https://www.thisisdig.com/feature/ceremony-new-order-song-story/ |title=Ceremony: The Song That Turned Joy Division into New Order |date=18 January 2023 |publisher=Dig! }}</ref> During this tour, the band recorded two tracks written by Joy Division: "[[Ceremony (New Order song)|Ceremony]]" and "In a Lonely Place", which were released as New Order's debut single in January 1981.<ref name="dig" />

The band wanted to complete the line-up with someone they knew well and whose musical skills and style were compatible with their own. Gretton suggested Morris's girlfriend [[Gillian Gilbert]],<ref name="story" /> and she was invited to join the band in early October 1980 as keyboardist and guitarist. She made her live debut with the band at the Squat in [[Manchester]] on 25 October 1980.<ref>Flowers, Claude (1995). ''New Order + Joy Division: Dreams Never End.'' London: Omnibus Press. p. 46.</ref><ref>Johnson, Mark (1984). ''An Ideal For Living: An History Of Joy Division.'' London: Bobcat Books. p. 74.</ref> As a quartet, New Order subsequently re-recorded "Ceremony", which was released as a [[twelve-inch single]] in September 1981.<ref name="dig" />

===''Movement'': 1981–1982===
New Order's first commercial release was the single "[[Ceremony (New Order song)|Ceremony]]", backed with "In a Lonely Place". These two songs were written in the weeks before Curtis took his own life.<ref name="story" /> With the release of their debut album, ''[[Movement (New Order album)|Movement]]'', in November 1981, New Order initially started on a similar route as their previous incarnation, performing dark, melodic songs, albeit with an increased use of [[synthesizer]]s. The band viewed the period as a low point, as they were still reeling from Curtis's death. Hook commented that the only positive thing to come out of the ''Movement'' sessions was what producer [[Martin Hannett]] had shown to the band and that is how to use a [[mixing board]]. Learning such thing allowed the band to [[Record producer|produce records]] by themselves from then on.<ref>Reynolds, Simon (2005). ''Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978–1984''. Penguin. p. 276. {{ISBN|0-14-303672-6}}.</ref> More recently, Hook indicated a change of heart: "I think ''Movement'' gets a raw deal in general, really—for me, when you consider the circumstances in which it was written, it is a fantastic record."<ref>{{cite web|last=Todd |first=C |title=Peter Hook: the Movement and Power, Corruption and Lies interview |website=Thedumbingofamerica.net |date=27 August 2013 |url=http://www.thedumbingofamerica.net/2013/08/27/peter-hook-the-movement-and-power-corruption-and-lies-interview/ |access-date=17 March 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140108141738/http://www.thedumbingofamerica.net/2013/08/27/peter-hook-the-movement-and-power-corruption-and-lies-interview/ |archive-date=8   January 2014 }}</ref>

[[The Haçienda]], [[Factory Records]]' own nightclub (largely funded by New Order), opened in May 1982 in Manchester and was even issued a Factory catalogue number: FAC51. The opening of the UK's first-ever [[Superclub]] was marked by a nearly 23-minute instrumental piece originally entitled "Prime 5 8 6",<ref name="Johnson, Mark 1984. p. 103">Johnson, Mark (1984).

New Order's second LP, ''[[Power, Corruption & Lies]]'', was released in May 1983. This [[synth-pop]] album incorporated some of the post-punk style sound from their previous band, [[Joy Division]], and their first album, ''[[Movement (New Order album)|Movement]]''. The band had been hinting at the increased use of technology during the music-making process for a number of years then, including their work as [[Joy Division]]. Starting from what earlier singles had hinted, this was where the band found their footing, mixing early techno music with their earlier guitar-based sound and showing the strong influence of acts like [[Kraftwerk]] and [[Giorgio Moroder]].<ref>{{cite web |title=New Order's 'Power, Corruption & Lies' Turns 40: Anniversary Retrospective |url=https://albumism.com/features/new-order-power-corruption-and-lies-album-anniversary | website=Albumism |access-date=26 January 2025 |last=Itkowsky |first=Liz |date=29 April 2023}}</ref> Even further in this direction was the electronically sequenced, [[four-on-the-floor (music)|four-on-the-floor]] single "[[Blue Monday (New Order song)|Blue Monday]]". Inspired by [[Klein + M.B.O.]]'s "[[Dirty Talk (Klein + M.B.O. song)|Dirty Talk]]" and [[Sylvester James|Sylvester]]'s [[disco]] classic, "[[You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)]]",<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.niagara.edu/neworder/singles/bm.html |title=New Order:Singles:Blue Monday |website=Niagara.edu |access-date=15 May 2011 |archive-date=24 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130724073857/http://www.niagara.edu/neworder/singles/bm.html |url-status=live}}</ref> "Blue Monday" became the best-selling independent [[12-inch single]] of all time in the UK; however, it was not on the track list of ''[[Power, Corruption & Lies]]''. The song was included, but only on the cassette format in some countries, such as Australia and New Zealand, and on the original North American CD release of the album, alongside its B-side, "The Beach". "Blue Monday" was also included on the 2008 collector's edition of ''Power, Corruption & Lies''.

The 1983 single "[[Confusion (New Order song)|Confusion]]" firmly established the group as a dance music force, inspiring many musicians in subsequent years. In 1984 they followed the largely synthesized single "Thieves Like Us" with the heavy guitar-drum-bass rumble of "Murder", a not-too-distant cousin of "Ecstasy" from the ''Power, Corruption & Lies'' album.

===''Low-Life'', ''Brotherhood'', and ''Substance'': 1985–1987===
{{More citations needed|date=January 2025}}
Released in 1985, ''[[Low-Life]]'' refined and sometimes mixed the two styles, guitar-based and electronic, and included "[[The Perfect Kiss]]" – the video for which was filmed by [[Jonathan Demme]] – and "[[Sub-culture (song)|Sub-culture"]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Modell |first1=Josh |title=New Order |url=https://www.avclub.com/new-order-1798205201 |website=[[AV Club]] |access-date=14 April 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Unterberger |first1=Andrew |title=Jonathan Demme Directed One of the Greatest Live Music Videos of All-Time for New Order |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/jonathan-demme-new-order-the-perfect-kiss-video-7775266/ |access-date=14 April 2025 |work=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |date=26 April 2017}}</ref> In February 1986, the [[Pretty in Pink (soundtrack)|soundtrack album]] to ''[[Pretty in Pink]]'' featuring "[[Shellshock (song)|Shellshock]]" was released on [[A&M Records]]. An instrumental version of "[[Thieves Like Us (song)|Thieves Like Us]]" and the instrumental "[[Elegia (New Order song)|Elegia]]" appeared in the film but were not on the soundtrack album. Later that summer, New Order headlined a line-up that included [[the Smiths]], [[The Fall (band)|the Fall]], and [[A Certain Ratio]] during the [[Festival of the Tenth Summer]] at Manchester's [[Manchester Central (Conference Centre)|G-Mex]].<ref>Middles, Mick. ''From Joy Division to New Order: The Factory Story''. London: Virgin Books, 1996. p. 252. {{ISBN|0-7535-0041-8}}</ref>

''[[Brotherhood (New Order album)|Brotherhood]]'' (1986) divided the two approaches onto separate album sides. The album notably featured "[[Bizarre Love Triangle]]" (a Top 20 hit in Australia and New Zealand) and "Angel Dust" (of which a remixed instrumental version is available on the UK "True Faith" CD video single, under the title "Evil Dust"), a track which marries a synth break beat with ''Low-Life''-era guitar effects. While New Order toured North America with friends [[Echo & the Bunnymen]], the summer of 1987 saw the release of the compilation ''[[Substance 1987|Substance]]'', which featured the new single "[[True Faith (song)|True Faith]]". ''Substance'' was an important album in collecting the group's 12-inch singles onto CD for the first time and featured new versions of "Temptation" and "Confusion"—referred to as "Temptation '87" and "Confusion '87". A second disc featured several of the B-sides from the singles on the first disc, as well as additional A-sides "Procession" and "Murder". The single, "True Faith", with its surreal video, became a hit on [[MTV]] and the band's first American top 40 hit. The single's B-side, "[[Nineteen63|1963]]"—originally planned on being the A-side until the group's label convinced them to release "True Faith" instead—would later be released as a single in its own right several years later, with two new versions.

In December 1987, the band released a further single, "[[Touched by the Hand of God]]", with a [[Kathryn Bigelow]]-directed video parodying [[Glam metal|glam-metal]]. The song was one of four new tracks recorded for the American comedy film ''[[Salvation! (1987 film)|Salvation!]]'', and reached number 20 on the [[UK Singles Chart]] and number 1 in the [[UK Independent Singles and Albums Charts|UK Independent Singles]] Chart. However, it would not appear on an album until the 1994 compilation ''[[The Best of New Order]]''.

===''Technique'', ''Republic'' and first break-up: 1988–1993===
By this time, the group was heavily influenced by the [[Balearic house|Balearic]] sounds of [[Ibiza]], which were making their way into the Haçienda. Partly recorded at Mediterranean Sound studios on Ibiza, ''[[Technique (album)|Technique]]'' was released in February 1989. The album entered the charts at number one in the UK and contained a mix of [[acid house]] influence (as on the opening track "[[Fine Time]]") and a more traditional rock sound (as on the single "[[Run 2]]"). The album is a blend of upbeat, accessible music coupled with blunt, poignant lyrics. During the summer of 1989, New Order supported ''Technique'' by touring with [[Public Image Ltd]], [[Throwing Muses]] and [[the Sugarcubes]] across the United States and Canada in what the press dubbed the "Monsters of Alternative Rock" tour.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-8128737.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180730202721/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-8128737.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=30 July 2018|title=New Order Is Holding Steady, Pil Going Stale |date=30 July 2018}}</ref> Around this time, band members also began side projects, including [[Electronic (band)|Electronic]] (Sumner with [[Johnny Marr]]) and [[Revenge (UK band)|Revenge]] (Hook with Davyth Hicks). Morris and Gilbert began to work together on outside TV theme production work. In 1991, the band was sued by the publishing company of American singer [[John Denver]], who claimed that the guitar break in "Run 2" was similar to his song "[[Leaving on a Jet Plane]]".<ref>{{cite magazine |first=Bob |last=Mack |title=Plane Tiff |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |url=https://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,312964,00.html |date=11 January 1991 |access-date=19 August 2011 |archive-date=23 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130623195302/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,312964,00.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> The case was settled out of court, and the song has since been credited to both New Order and John Denver.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.niagara.edu/neworder/singles/run2.html |title=New Order:Singles:Run 2 |website=Niagara.edu |access-date=2 October 2016 |archive-date=13 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190913033417/http://www.niagara.edu/neworder/singles/run2.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 1990, New Order recorded the official song of the [[England national football team]]'s 1990 [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] campaign, "[[World in Motion]]", under the ad hoc band name EnglandNewOrder. The song, co-written by comedian [[Keith Allen (actor)|Keith Allen]], was the band's sole number one UK hit.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/number-1-in-1990-england-new-order-set-the-world-in-motion__9782/|title=Number 1 in 1990: England & New Order set the World In Motion|website=[[Official Charts Company|Official Charts]]|access-date=11 July 2016}}</ref> The song was originally planned to be titled "E for England"; however [[the Football Association]] vetoed the title upon realizing that this was a reference to [[Methylenedioxymethamphetamine|ecstasy]], a drug heavily associated with the Hacienda. (Allen claimed that his original draft lyrics included "E is for England, England starts with E / We'll all be [[Ecstasy Tablet|smiling]] when we're in Italy."<ref name="'World In Motion' 25 Years On">{{cite web|title='World In Motion' 25 Years On|url=https://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/world-in-motion-25-years-on-10-geeky-facts-about-the-new-order-football-classic|website=NME|date=9 June 2015|access-date=2 October 2015}}</ref>) The song also featured chanting from members of the England team and Allen, and a guest rap from England player [[John Barnes (footballer)|John Barnes]]. It was again produced by [[Stephen Hague]], whom the band chose to produce their next album.

The band's next album, ''[[Republic (album)|Republic]]'', was shadowed by the collapse of their long-time label, [[Factory Records]], in 1992. The label had been ailing due to financial difficulties and was forced to declare bankruptcy.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.msimanchester.org.uk/en/collection/stories/factory-records |title=Factory Records {{!}} Museum of Science and Industry |website=Museum of Science and Industry |access-date=11 July 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160712214628/http://www.msimanchester.org.uk/en/collection/stories/factory-records |archive-date=12 July 2016}}</ref> New Order never had a formal contract with Factory Records; although unusual for a major group, this was Factory's standard practice until the mid-1980s. Because of this, the band, rather than Factory Records, legally owned all of their recordings. This has been cited by Wilson himself<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6941846.stm|title=How Tony Wilson changed music|date=14 August 2007|newspaper=BBC|access-date=11 July 2016}}</ref> as the main reason why [[London Records]]' 1992 offer to buy the ailing label fell through.<ref>{{cite web |last=Nicolson |first=Barry |title=Why The Legacy Of Factory Records Boss Tony Wilson Can Still Be Felt Today |date=13 August 2015 |work=NME |url=https://www.nme.com/features/why-the-legacy-of-factory-records-boss-tony-wilson-can-still-be-felt-today-756877}}</ref> Following Factory's collapse, New Order signed with London Records, as did Morris and Gilbert separately for their side project, [[The Other Two (duo)|the Other Two]]. The Other Two's [[The Other Two & You|debut album]] was originally intended for release on Factory. ''Republic'', released around the world in 1993, spawned the singles "[[Regret (New Order song)|Regret]]"—New Order's highest-charting single in the US—"[[Ruined in a Day]]", "[[World (The Price of Love)|World]]", and "[[Spooky (New Order song)|Spooky]]".

Following the release and promotion of ''Republic'', the band put New Order on hold while focusing on side projects, with [[The Other Two (duo)|the Other Two]]'s debut album released in 1993. In 1994, a second singles collection was released, entitled ''[[The Best of New Order]]''. It featured all of the band's singles since ''Substance'' as well as a few extra tracks: "Vanishing Point" (from 1989's ''Technique''), "The Perfect Kiss", "Thieves Like Us", "Shellshock", and remixes of "True Faith", "Bizarre Love Triangle", "1963", and "Round & Round". The new versions of "True Faith" and "1963" (the latter as a more guitar-orientated version produced by [[Arthur Baker (musician)|Arthur Baker]]) were released as singles to promote the album. In the US, the track listing was altered to set it apart from ''Substance'' as well as the UK release of ''The Best of New Order,'' which had been available months prior. This collection was followed by a remix album, ''[[The Rest of New Order]]'', featuring a selection of existing and newly commissioned mixes of classic New Order tracks. Some versions contained an extra disc or cassette composed entirely of remixes of "Blue Monday". "Blue Monday" was released as a single for a third time to promote the collection.

===Reformation and ''Get Ready'': 1998–2003===
The group reconvened in 1998 at the suggestion of Rob Gretton, nearly five years since they had last seen each other. Sumner said, "We decided before we agreed to doing any gig, to have a meeting, and if anyone had any grudges to bear, to iron them out."<ref>{{cite web|title = Love Will Bring Us Together|url = http://www.neworderonline.com/Common/Topic.aspx?Topic=Article020|website = www.neworderonline.com|access-date = 8 November 2015|last = Raub|first = Kevin}}</ref> By the second meeting everyone agreed to continue playing, scheduling their reunion gig for the Phoenix Festival that same year. In addition to rarer songs, New Order also decided to begin playing Joy Division songs again.<ref>{{cite magazine | author=Raub, Kevin | title = Love Will Bring Us Together | magazine=RollingStone.com | url = https://www.rollingstone.com/artists/neworder/articles/story/5926606/love_will_bring_us_together | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071202133130/http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/neworder/articles/story/5926606/love_will_bring_us_together | url-status = dead | archive-date = 2 December 2007 | date = 24 March 1998| access-date=19 April 2007}}</ref> When the Phoenix Festival was cancelled due to low ticket sales, New Order instead played the last night of that year's [[Reading Festival]].<ref>{{cite news | title =Phoenix called off due to poor ticket sales | website=BBC | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/110429.stm | date = 10 June 1998| access-date=22 April 2007}}</ref>

Their 2001 release ''[[Get Ready (New Order album)|Get Ready]]'' largely departed from their more electronic style and focused on more guitar-orientated music. According to Sumner, "''Get Ready'' was guitar-heavy simply because we felt that we'd left that instrument alone for a long time."<ref>{{cite web | author=Gregory, James | title=New Order Reveal Details of Next Full-Length | website=PitchforkMedia.com | url=http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/33980-new-order-reveal-details-of-next-full-length | date=24 January 2005 | access-date=22 April 2007 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071222051418/http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/33980-new-order-reveal-details-of-next-full-length | archive-date=22 December 2007 | url-status=dead }}</ref> Long-time fan [[Billy Corgan]] of [[the Smashing Pumpkins]] played guitar and sang backup on the track "Turn My Way", and in 2001 toured with the band on dates in the UK, US, and Japan for a short period of time. Phil Cunningham (formerly of Marion) joined the band in a live capacity, deputizing for Gilbert, who declined to tour in favour of caring for her and Morris' children. [[Primal Scream]]'s [[Bobby Gillespie]] provided vocals on the track "Rock the Shack". Singles from the album included "[[Crystal (New Order song)|Crystal]]", "[[60 Miles an Hour]]" and [[Someone Like You (New Order song)|Someone Like You]]".

In 2002 New Order released the single "[[Here to Stay (New Order song)|Here to Stay]]", produced by the [[Chemical Brothers]], which also featured on the [[24 Hour Party People#Soundtrack|soundtrack]] to the [[Michael Winterbottom]] film ''[[24 Hour Party People]]''. The film depicts the rise and fall of Factory Records and features portrayals of the band. Scenes from the film appear in the single's music video.

Also in 2002, ''[[Q (magazine)|Q]]'' featured New Order on their list of the "50 Bands to See Before You Die",<ref>{{cite web|title = Rocklist.net...Q Magazine Lists|url = http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/qlistspage2.html#Die%E2%80%A6|website = www.rocklistmusic.co.uk|access-date = 8 November 2015|archive-date = 19 October 2018|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20181019101341/http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/qlistspage2.html#Die%E2%80%A6|url-status = usurped}}</ref> although this was as part of a sub-list of "5 Bands That Could Go Either Way".

===''Waiting for the Sirens' Call'', ''Singles'' and second break-up: 2004–2007===
[[File:2005-06-11 New Order live.jpg|thumb|right|300px|New Order performing in 2005]]
The band released a new album on 27 March 2005, titled ''[[Waiting for the Sirens' Call]]'', which was their first with new member Phil Cunningham. Cunningham replaced Gilbert (now married to Morris) so she could look after their children. Singles from this album were "[[Krafty]]", "[[Jetstream (song)|Jetstream]]" (which features guest vocals by [[Ana Matronic]] from [[Scissor Sisters]]), and the [[Waiting for the Sirens' Call (song)|title track]]. At the 2005 [[NME Awards]], New Order and Joy Division received the award for "Godlike Geniuses" (for lifetime achievement). Previous winners include [[Ozzy Osbourne]], [[the Clash]], and [[Happy Mondays]]. In 2006 the album track "Guilt Is a Useless Emotion" was nominated for a [[Grammy Award]] in the category of [[Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording|Best Dance Recording]].

In the autumn of 2005, the group released another greatest hits compilation, in the form of ''[[Singles (New Order album)|Singles]]''. The two-disc release was an updated version of the ''Substance'' collection and contained every single released from their 1981 debut all the way through to "Waiting for the Sirens' Call". However, unlike ''Substance'', which focused almost exclusively on the 12" versions of the group's singles, ''Singles'' collected the 7" versions, many of which (like "Ceremony", "Temptation" and "Confusion") had never been released on CD. The album was accompanied by a two-disc DVD set, titled ''Item'', that collected the extended UK version of ''NewOrderStory'' with a DVD of all New Order music videos as well as two newly commissioned videos for "[[Temptation (New Order song)|Temptation '87]]" and "[[Ceremony (New Order song)|Ceremony]]".

The ''[[Live in Glasgow (New Order DVD)|New Order: Live in Glasgow]]'' DVD was recorded at the Glasgow Academy in 2006 and features 18 tracks, including 4 Joy Division songs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.side-line.com/news_comments.php?id=31278_0_2_0_C |title=Live in Glasgow DVD for New Order |website=Side-line.com |date=29 April 2008 |access-date=15 May 2011}}</ref> Next to that, the release also contains a bonus disc of footage from the band's personal archive, including 1980s footage from Glastonbury (June 1981), Rome, Cork, Rotterdam and Toronto.

In 2006, the band played several one-off live dates as well as short tours in the UK, Brazil and Argentina. After their [[Buenos Aires]] show in November 2006, Peter Hook suggested that the band should stop touring.<ref>{{cite web | title =The end of New Order? | website=NewOrderOnline.com | url = http://www.neworderonline.com/News/News.aspx?NewsID=1284 | date = 26 November 2006| access-date=20 April 2007}}</ref> In early May 2007, Hook was interviewed by British radio station [[XFM]]—originally to talk about his contribution to the debut album of [[Jane's Addiction]] singer [[Perry Farrell]]'s new band, [[Satellite Party]]—and stated that "Me and Bernard aren't working together." Further complicating the news, NewOrderOnline, a website with support from New Order management, reported that according to "a source close to the band", "The news about the split is false... New Order still exists despite what [Hook] said ... Peter Hook can leave the band, but this doesn't mean the end of New Order."<ref>{{cite web | author=NewOrderOnline.com | title=New Order did not split | url=http://www.neworderonline.com/News/News.aspx?NewsID=1305 | date=17 May 2007 | access-date = 18 May 2007}}</ref> However, Sumner revealed in 2009 that he no longer wished to make music as New Order.<ref name="Mojo09">Wilkinson, Roy (August 2009).

''[[Lost Sirens]]'' was released in the United Kingdom in January 2013. ''Lost Sirens'' is an eight-track album of songs recorded during the sessions for ''Waiting for the Sirens' Call''. The album was discussed by Gillian Gilbert in a Brazilian interview to promote the band's appearance in São Paulo. She acknowledged issues with former member Peter Hook and stated there was "a lot going on behind the scenes on the copyright" delaying the release.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.slicingupeyeballs.com/2011/11/29/new-order-lost-sirens-delayed/ |title=New Order delays release of 'Lost Sirens' outtakes set, will play Australia in 2012 |website=Slicingupeyeballs.com |date=29 November 2011 |access-date=19 December 2012 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120703032305/http://www.slicingupeyeballs.com/2011/11/29/new-order-lost-sirens-delayed/ |archive-date=3 July 2012 }}</ref>

In September 2015, the band released a new album, ''[[Music Complete]]'', their first without [[Peter Hook]].

In November 2015, Peter Hook sued Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert. In an objection, it was revealed that Sumner, Morris and Gilbert had set up a new company behind Hook's back, which generated an income of £7.8 million in four years, while Hook received only a fraction of that sum. The three members argued they had treated Hook fairly and that his stake in the band's royalties was reasonable, despite the fact that in four years, Hook had only received "1.25 per cent of the band's royalties and other income from merchandising and performances". The judge ruled that there was "at least a reasonable prospect" of Hook proving that he was not getting a fair share of royalties and other income and rejected Sumner and Morris's lawyer's argument. The judge was willing to hear the case but urged the parties to come to an agreement rather than suffer legal costs of around £900,000.<ref>[https://archive.today/20210604193524/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/12025791/Blue-Monday-for-New-Order-as-Peter-Hook-sues-them-for-many-millions-of-pounds.html  "Blue Monday for New Order as Peter Hook Sues The for Many Millions of Pounds"].

The Other Two released its first single, "Tasty Fish" in 1991 and released two albums, ''[[The Other Two & You]]'' in 1993 and ''[[Super Highways]]'' in 1999. They have also been involved in scoring television soundtracks, like ''[[Making Out (TV series)|Making Out]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.ltmrecordings.com/the_other_two.html|title = The Other Two {{!}} Biography|date = December 2009|last = Nice|first = James}}</ref> In 2007, Gilbert and Morris remixed two tracks for the [[Nine Inch Nails]] remixes album ''[[Year Zero Remixed]]''.

===BeMusic===
"BeMusic" was a name the band used for their publishing company (the LP label for ''Movement'' says "B Music" in large letters, though using an [[italic type|italic]] [[ß]] for the letter [[B]]). All four members of the band used the name for production work for other artists' recordings between 1982 and 1985.<ref name="twice as nice">{{cite web|url=http://www.cerysmaticfactory.info/ltmcd2398.html |title=Twice As Nice|website=Cerysmaticfactory.info |date=6 September 2004 |access-date=11 July 2011}}</ref>

BeMusic was first credited when Peter Hook produced [[Stockholm Monsters]] in 1982. Other artists with producer or musician credit for "BeMusic" were [[52nd Street (band)|52nd Street]], [[Section 25 (band)|Section 25]], [[Marcel King]], [[Quando Quango]], [[Paul Haig]], [[Thick Pigeon]], [[Nyam Nyam (band)|Nyam Nyam]], and [[Life (band)|Life]].

Their production work as BeMusic was collected on two [[LTM Recordings]] compilation CDs, ''Cool As Ice: The BeMusic Productions''<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ltmpub.freeserve.co.uk/bemusicnotes.html |title=New Order (as Be Music) CD sleevenotes at LTM |website=Ltmpub.freeserve.co.uk |access-date=11 July 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927074232/http://www.ltmpub.freeserve.co.uk/bemusicnotes.html |archive-date=27 September 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and ''Twice As Nice'' (which also included production work by Donald Johnson of [[A Certain Ratio]] and [[Arthur Baker (musician)|Arthur Baker]]).<ref name="twice as nice"/>

==Influences and style==
Some of New Order's tracks, such as "Temptation" (1982), "Blue Monday" (1983), and "True Faith" (1987), incorporate elements of both rock and dance music. According to [[AllMusic]], the band is considered "the first [[alternative dance]]" music group, having "fused icy, gloomy [[post-punk]] with Kraftwerk-style [[synth-pop]]".<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.allmusic.com/style/alternative-dance-ma0000011883 | title=Alternative Dance | website=[[AllMusic]] | access-date=5 September 2014}}</ref> They have also been labelled as synth-pop,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://pitchfork.com/news/35614-new-order-swap-peter-hook-for-blurs-alex-james-for-new-band-bad-lieutenant/ | title=New Order Swap Peter Hook for Blur's Alex James for New Band Bad Lieutenant | publisher=[[Pitchfork Media|Pitchfork]] | date=15 June 2009 | access-date=5 September 2014 | author=Breihan, Tom}}</ref><ref>{{cite book | isbn=978-1109192629 | title=Here We Go Again (again): The Eighties Nostalgia Movement in Contemporary Popular Culture | author=Cook, Philip C.

Early influences on New Order included the rock musicians [[Neil Young]], [[David Bowie]], and [[Iggy Pop]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Patel|first=Puja|date=21 January 2015|title=Inside New Order's First Album Without Founding Bassist Peter Hook|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/inside-new-orders-first-album-without-founding-bassist-peter-hook-168274/|website=[[Rolling Stone]]|access-date=15 May 2025|url-status=unfit|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190902100252/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/inside-new-orders-first-album-without-founding-bassist-peter-hook-168274/|archive-date=2 September 2019}}</ref> Founding member Hook stated that the band's transition from playing cold, dark post-punk to producing more synthesizer-driven music from 1982, was inspired by the German electronic group [[Kraftwerk]], the [[Giorgio Moroder]]/[[Donna Summer]] collaboration "[[I Feel Love]]", and the US rock band [[Sparks (band)|Sparks]] (who had produced disco/electro-rock music with Moroder on their ''[[No. 1 in Heaven]]'' album).<ref>{{cite book|first=Peter |last=Hook |title=Substance: Inside New Order |publisher=Simon & Schuster |year=2007 |page=85}}</ref> Frontman Sumner noted that his shift in songwriting style was also influenced by English electronic groups such as [[Cabaret Voltaire (band)|Cabaret Voltaire]], [[the Human League]], and [[Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark|OMD]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.electronicbeats.net/max-dax-interviews-bernard-sumner/|title=Max Dax interviews Bernard Sumner|last=Dax|first=Max|date=2 September 2012|website=Electronic Beats|access-date=15 February 2021}}</ref>

Drummer Stephen Morris used a combination of acoustic and electronic drums, while all members of the band were observed switching instruments during live performances. This is documented in [[Jonathan Demme]]'s video for "The Perfect Kiss" and the concert videos ''Taras Shevchenko'' (recorded in New York, November 1981)<ref>{{cite web|url = http://factoryrecords.org/factory-records/fact-77-new-order-taras-shevchenko.php|title = Factory Records: FACT 77|website = factoryrecords.org}}</ref>{{Failed verification|date=May 2025}} and ''Pumped Full of Drugs'' (Tokyo, May 1985).<ref>{{cite web|url = http://factoryrecords.org/factory-records/fact-177-new-order-pumped-full-of-drugs.php|title = Factory Records: FACT 177|website = factoryrecords.org}}</ref>{{Failed verification|date=May 2025}} During live shows, Sumner alternated between guitar, keyboards, melodica, cowbell, and, during performances of "Confusion", bass guitar. Gilbert switched between keyboards and guitar, Morris between drums and keyboards, and Hook between bass and electronic drums. In early performances, band members sometimes left the stage before the final song "Temptation" had concluded, allowing sequencers and drum machines to complete the track.<ref>{{cite web | title=The unique way New Order ended their early gigs | url=https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/unique-way-new-order-ended-early-gigs | website=Far Out Magazine | date=5 August 2021 | access-date=26 January 2025}}</ref>{{Unreliable source?|reason=WP:NOTRSMUSIC.|date=May 2025}}

===Cover artwork===
Almost all New Order recordings have distinctive packaging, and [[Peter Saville (graphic designer)|Peter Saville]] was the [[art director]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=AnotherMan |title=Peter Saville on His Iconic Album Covers for New Order |url=https://www.anothermanmag.com/life-culture/9933/peter-saville-on-his-iconic-album-covers-for-new-order |access-date=2022-07-08 |website=AnotherMan |date=19 June 2017 |language=en}}</ref> The group's record sleeves bucked the 1980s trend by rarely showing the band members (with the exception of the ''Low-Life'' album) or even providing basic information such as the band name or title of the release.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ediriwira |first=Amar |date=2015-09-24 |title=Tracing the art of New Order in 10 iconic record sleeves |url=https://thevinylfactory.com/features/tracing-the-art-of-new-order-in-10-iconic-record-sleeves/ |access-date=2025-01-10 |website=The Vinyl Factory |language=en-US}}</ref> Song names were often hidden within the shrink-wrapped package, either on the disc itself (such as the "Blue Monday" single), on an inconspicuous part of an inner sleeve ("The Perfect Kiss" single), or written in a cryptic colour code invented by Saville (''Power, Corruption & Lies''). Saville said his intention was to sell the band as a "mass-produced secret" of sorts and that the minimalist style was enough to allow fans to identify the band's products without explicit labelling.<ref name="story" /> He frequently sent the artwork straight to the printer, without review by either the band or the label.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://the-talks.com/interviews/peter-saville/ |title= Peter Saville: "I never had to answer to anyone" |work= The Talks |date= 22 May 2013 |access-date= 20 July 2013 |quote= New Order didn't approve it, they rarely saw it.

==Legacy==
The band have influenced [[techno music|techno]], [[Rock music|rock]], and pop musicians including [[Moby]],<ref>{{cite news|first=Bernard |last=Sumner |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/03/arts/music/03play.html |title=Moby Meets New Order: New York Times, April&nbsp;3, 2005 |work=The New York Times |access-date=15 May 2011 |date=3 April 2005}}</ref> [[the Killers]],<ref>{{Cite magazine |date=2013-02-21 |title=The Killers Cover New Order in Manchester |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/the-killers-cover-new-order-with-bernard-sumner-80718/ |access-date=2025-01-10 |magazine=Rolling Stone |language=en-US}}</ref> and [[the xx]].<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Weiss |first=Dan |date=2017-01-13 |title=The xx Have Been Humanizing Pop for Nearly a Decade: Critic's Take |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/the-xx-i-see-you-humanizing-pop-7655156/ |access-date=2025-01-23 |magazine=Billboard |language=en-US}}</ref> Numerous covers of their songs have been released, notably [[Orgy (band)|Orgy]]'s cover of [[Blue Monday (New Order song)#Orgy versions|Blue Monday]], as well as several [[List of New Order tribute albums|tribute albums]].

Dramatized versions of New Order appear in two films, [[24 Hour Party People]] (2002) and [[Control (2007 film)|Control]] (2007). 24 Hour Party People, directed by [[Michael Winterbottom]], depicts the rise and fall of Factory Records as seen through the eyes of founder [[Tony Wilson]], played by [[Steve Coogan]]. The film includes portrayals of manager [[Rob Gretton]] and designer [[Peter Saville (graphic designer)|Peter Saville]]. The [[24 Hour Party People#Soundtrack|soundtrack]] features several New Order tracks, including "[[Here to Stay (New Order song)|Here to Stay]]" and a cover of "[[New Dawn Fades]]" featuring Moby. Control, directed by [[Anton Corbijn]], traces Ian Curtis' life from the founding of Joy Division until his suicide. While the members of New Order are portrayed in the film, New Order as such is only hinted at in the final scene. In addition to several tracks on the [[Control (2007 film)#Soundtrack|soundtrack]], New Order contributed the original incidental music.

=== Reputation ===
Following in the path of [[Joy Division]], New Order were also among the most successful artists on the Factory Records label, which was run by Granada television personality [[Tony Wilson]]. New Order partnered with Factory to finance the Manchester club [[Fac 51 Haçienda|The Haçienda]]. Speaking in 2009, fellow synth-pop musician [[Phil Oakey]] described New Order's slow-burn career as cult musicians as being unusually prolonged and effective: "If you want to make a lot of money out of pop, be number 3 a lot. Like New Order did."<ref name="Totally Wired: Postpunk Interviews and Overviews">{{cite book|last1=Reynolds|first1=Simon|title=Totally Wired: Postpunk Interviews and Overviews|date=2 April 2009|publisher=Faber & Faber|isbn=9780571252299|pages=288–289}}</ref>
