On their third album, New Order effortlessly added elements of dance to the new wave synthesisers and samplers found on their previous album, completing their transition from post-punk to dance music. Nestled beneath the impressive use of musical technology, you’ll find the Manchester band’s increasingly divine songwriting. ‘Love Vigilantes’, ‘The Perfect Kiss’ and ‘Sunrise’ are all stunning pop tracks enhanced by Gillian Gilbert's hypnotic synths, Peter Hook's elastic bass and Bernard Sumner's sparkling guitar. With Low-Life, the 100th release from legendary Mancunian label Factory, austere post-punk is completely replaced by the sunniest new wave dance. This influential album, despite its 80’s synths, still sounds like a pioneering record. © Marc Zisman
