NEW ORDER - Age of Consent | FIRST TIME COUPLE REACTION (BMC Request)

[@bonovol]

So glad you liked this one. I was very nervous making this submission. Some people do find their music repetitive. Not me. As for genre, they are very hard to peg. Let's go with a mixture: Alternative dance synthpop post-punk new wave dance-rock electronica. Ha! That should cover all the bases. Lex, you should know I almost requested a Smiths song. Is that a band you are real familiar with? As far as the group goes, Bernard Sumner is the vocalist. I think he does a great job. His voice fits the music, just like Ian Curtis was perfect for Joy Division. Peter Hook on bass gets a lot of fanfare. Deservedly so. He really stands out on several New Order tracks. To me, the real star is Stephen Morris on drums. Most people think this song has a drum machine, and they would be correct: Morris is a human drum machine. You can find the video of him playing this song. It's mesmerizing. Power, Corruption, and Lies was one of those albums that came along and helped me get through a really rough patch. For your next one, I agree with the others: Blue Monday

[@mvunit3]

You think your nervous about _your_ request, I have some heavy, borderline extreme Metal requests waiting in the wings from CD's I purchased for N&L (yet all the bands "lyrics" are not extreme as people would think) ;). I hope folks don't hesitate with most of the music they want to share, as I think its the lyrical topics that would scare me away only, not the "sound" of the music. Part of my adult life was listening to New Order and other Alternative/New Wave (and early Industrial) bands because of a younger dude that was in my life of friends, a strange friend, but he turned into a real jerk, I vowed never to have friends like that again (very odd time in my life and who I hungout with). But some of his music stayed with me throughout my life. I KNEW Lexi would like it, wasn't sure about Nick :). I'll always remember 1st learning about them and the "video" for "The Perfect Kiss", I think N&L would enjoy _watching_ this video . . . . kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmS7iGmEga5_p9E They may be "repetitive" but the melodies are very memorable. - Thanks Reed! Love your icon! :D

[@vampiriny]

or Bizarre love triangle perhaps, it's very hard not to ever listen to this band unless you are a millenial. One of my favorite song is The perfect kiss that reminds me my Club days in New York back in the late 80's.

[@thomasnoud6364]

New Order is one of the GREATEST, most iconic bands of all-time. As a fan of The Cure, I’m surprised you hadn’t heard of them before. Glad you finally discovered them

[@timatotoro]

right?? The Cure but not New Order?? What??

[@FloatingAnarchy61]

Great band, formed out of the ashes of Joy Division, after Ian Curtis's tragic suicide. In contrast to Joy Division though New Order specialised in songs that were a combination of post punk, electronica, and dance music. They were one of the first bands to combine that indie rock sound with dance music, that paved the way for later bands like Primal Scream and the whole baggy 'Madchester' scene that evollved in the 90's, (New Order themselves were from Manchester). Their sound was also characterised as well by Peter Hooks driving bass which he played like a lead instrument. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the comments recommend Blue Monday. It's an absolute classic, everything you need to know about New Order in one song. I think it's still the best selling 12" in the UK all these years later.. Other songs I'd recommend are True Faith, Thieves Like Us (which I've always thought sounds like Hot Chocolates Emma, for anyone old enough to remember it), Crystal, and Regret.

[@andrewbarron7690]

I think the Thieves like us hook was acknowledged as coming from Hot Chocolate. Love will tear us apart from And then he Kissed me. Ennio Morricone and Wagner on other later tracks. Produce like a pro has a nice breakdown on the Blue Monday influences also. Two bands that were not ashamed to reuse and revive great sounds in their own work.

[@johnbrookes4892]

I was 9 in 1983 and I heard this song on a local radio statiion. My mind was tripping. Good music is why I never needed drugs.

[@davidpearson6785]

Top song

[@miguelrecio7464]

A masterpiece✨

[@shaneortega2894]

That was great reaction to such a fun song. Power Corruption & Lies will be a great album for you to explore. It was New Orders 2nd album after the death of their lead singer (New Order was originally Joy Division). The first album was terrific in its own right- but was very emotional and not very uplifting as you can imagine. They have recorded many classics and were one of the originators of the underground club scene in the 80's. They, along with their former group Joy Division, are definitely worth checking out.

[@tallykev6608]

This is one of their most beautiful songs. Out of the ashes of Joy Division came New Order. They created some of the best danceable Post Punk tunes of the 80s.

[@roberthaynes8830]

Your Silent Face (from the same album as Age of Consent) - probably my favourite New Order song ever (though I pretty much love all their music). One of my favourite bands ever.

[@michaelmalone3089]

Great reaction Nick and Lex 👏 there was so much good music around at the time of New order👍loved it 👌 Thank you! yet again !🙂 good health to you both 🙏

[@csilt]

Man, explore more of New Order. One of the best bands from the 80s

[@mikenichols3965]

Takes me back to summer of 83. All the new wave of music were really pouring out of our radios. Here in San Diego, our new station, 91X, were giving us fantastic new jems everyday. It was a very exciting time. Bands were trying so many different things. Synthesizer technology was really hitting it's stride, MIDI was now the standard, and experimentation was the trend. I got Power, Corruption, and Lies when it came out, being a Joy Division fan, and it sounded great in the walkman. Blue Monday is a definite must hear from New Order! A groundbreaker. Glad you kids are feeling better. 🐶

[@GaryAndrewLaw]

My favourite on this LP has always been "Your Silent Face". Another great track from the same year is "The Romance of the Telescope" from the album, "Dazzle Ships" by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark. Also from 1983, "The Cutter" by the band Echo & The Bunnymen, "Wishing (If I Had A Photograph Of You)" by A Flock Of Seagulls, "Your Dress" by John Foxx, "That Was Then But This Is Now" by ABC. Just a few of my favourites from a brilliant era of music.

[@nikons]

One of my top 10 all time favourite albums

[@AdamF90]

Leave Me Alone is my favorite song from this album

[@rudolfbecker4313]

In Germany all english music, that came after punk, was called New Wave. As a rocker I didn't care so much, it was my Iron Maiden and Rush period. New Order were all over the clubs and radio stations with their biggest hit, Blue Monday, there is a version on youtube with 166 million clicks. Concering the movie "Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo" I can tell you, how much I was shocked, when I saw it. Beeing a "Land-Ei" (Nick, please translate), I knew people, who smoked grass and there were rumours about heroin, but I didn't know anybody, who was addicted. Seeing the movie, playing in Berlin, the 13 year old Christiane starting to try drugs, LSD and Cannabis, later heroin and starting to prostiute herself at the age of 14 at the Berlin West main train station - Bahnhof Zoo - to finance her addiction. Her mother puts her in therapy, but on the first day of seeming to be clean, she starts the drugs again with her boyfriend. When she heard, that her best friend died at the age of 14, she tries to commit suicide. For me living in an "almost perfect" world, this was so frightening, it was beyond my phantasy .... seeing that there's another reality, especially in big cities.

[@MadderMel]

New Order ! So many great songs ! Thieves like Us !

[@Alpha_7227]

Loved New Order since the start. Peter Hook's melodic bass lines, Bernard Sumner's brooding vocals. You should check out Ceremony and Temptation if you like Age of Consent. Otherwise check out the rest of the catalogue, Blue Monday or Bizarre Love Triangle (The 12 inch mix). So many great songs. Get hold of Substance which is a compilation of their early stuff. Or some of their latter stuff is great too. Great video.

[@daz4756]

The Genre is called Post Punk/New Wave, Another Epic Band from the same period is 'Echo And The Bunnymen', Their first 4 Albums are masterpieces that represent this genre better than anyone. Post Punk/New Wave is almost exclusively a British phenomenon. A Rewarding Rabbit Hole well worth the time investigating, you will love it.

[@cometogether999]

Their most popular songs are probably: Bizarre Love Triangle Blue Monday Love Vigilantes They formed out of the band Joy Division, I suppose they would be considered post-punk/new wave. I really like the song Blue Monday (the dance remix especially).

[@Faltor895]

Also, True Faith and Regret.

[@raiderfan346]

This is another new band for me. This would be a good road trip song for cruising with the windows down. Thanks again for another winner.

[@murdockreviews]

Great we're branching out here 😀 love New Order- they are pretty much a cult thing around the UK and (Western-) Europe - think The Cure, or Joy Division (obviously). The genre would be New Wave/post-punk (on the door-step to indie). I actually saw the band in concert a couple of years ago. Their biggest hit clearly is "Blue Monday", but my personal fave is the later and more guitar-driven "Crystal".

[@Faltor895]

Regret was their highest charting single in America. True Faith and Bizarre Love Triangle were big too, of course. Ceremony and Temptation are classics. I like Crystal too, but always think of it as the cousin to Krafty.

[@josevalles6298]

I've heard it called '80s new wave, 80s' alternative. This band started from previous members of Joy Division, after the death of their lead singer. I think they considered themselves kind of punk in the 70s'. This whole album is good.

[@allenisarunner]

Summer’s vocal sounds so alive on this remaster.

[@deborahpaley21]

"Age of Consent" is a song by New Order. It appears on their 1983 album Power, Corruption & Lies. It is featured in the teaser trailer of the 2006 film Marie Antoinette, and in an affecting karaoke version in the climactic scene of the 2009 film Modern Love is Automatic. The intro is also used in an AT&T wireless commercial. A Howie B remix was produced in 1995 for the (the rest of) New Order compilation album. The song was supposed to be used in the film Wayne's World 2. However, the movie producers didn't have the money to pay New Order for the track so a cover version using studio musicians was used in place of the real track. It has also been covered by numerous bands and performers, including Arcade Fire, 311, Buffalo Tom, Grant-Lee Phillips, Kevin Drew, Cienfuegos, Masters of the Hemisphere, Craig Marlowe, Electric Colony, Kii Noo, Neverending White Lights, The Obvious, Buzzcocks, Thursday 29 and Built to Spill. The song also features in the BBC documentary The Trap. In 2010, a portion of the song was used in a commercial for Target Corporation. In 2012, a remixed version appeared as the background music in the announcement video for the iPad Mini. The song has been played 208 times in concert by the band, making its live debut in 1982. It returned to live performances in 2011, following a 22 year absence from setlists, having last been played live in 1989. Last since you mentioned Arcade Fire, they coverd this.

[@chrisnadge7989]

Love Love Love !!! Perhaps my favorite song of all time.

[@michaelinnj7439]

If I may recommended a New Order song it would be Ceremony. It was actually written by Joy Division and I’ve read it was performed live twice before Curtis’ death and subsequently recorded & released by New Order. Looking at the lyrics one wonders if they were foreshadowing.

[@j.kevvideoproductions.6463]

I love Radiohead's version of "Ceremony" sounds more like Ian Curtis than the New order version to me?!

[@ForbiddTV]

@Michael in NJ Yeah I remember having the Ceremony/In A Lonely place single, good crossover pieces from Joy Division. I felt it was the last songs by JD and the first of NO combined.

[@Faltor895]

It has to be the Substance version!

[@ElectroAnnie]

Now we need Love Will Tear Us Apart and Atmosphere by Joy Division!

[@wicky4473]

[@PJprog]

Can I just throw ' The Teardrop Explodes ' out there , have great memories of this short - lived band , in fact the very first gig I attended. Julian Cope was an amazing frontman and had a great following as a solo artist. ' Reward ' what an instant classic from the band.

Such a variety of musical riches in the 70s and 80s.

[@rvnlvr0599]

The Cure, The Smiths and Joy Division/New Order were some of my favorite bands growing up. You can hear a little Joy Division and New order songs in the first couple episodes of Stranger things. The Joy Division song they play is Atmosphere which I highly recommend you check out

[@mattdoliver1984]

Wow, 1st time listening to New order Such an amazing band from that post punk era, Peter Hooks basslines are out of this world unparalleled even to today. Love listening to Age of consent 1st thing when you wake up to put you in the mood for the day. God bless the 1980s

[@flyingardilla143]

I probably haven't heard this song in over 20 years and yet the sound and lyrics flooded back from memory.

[@simply_psi]

I Love Power Corruption and Lies album that, Movement and Low Life are my favourite New Order albums, a great atmospheric song to check out is In a Lonely Place its amazing

[@michelemichele3375]

Joy Division, the Cure, Depeche Mode, the Smith’s, X ... flavored my 80’s. Great choice and reaction. Post-punk, New Wave, Alternative (College Radio). I was thinking of the Smith’s today because of your movie quote, Lex. Happy to find this. ✨🤪

[@erikempire318]

Id stick my head out and say that Joy Division/new order is the most influential band ever. They basically created post punk and new wave and paved the way for techno and house via their music and the their night club the Hacienda, that still remains the mark for what a night club shud be.

[@cityhonors1]

🤣 You would literally hear 'Boys Don't Cry' or 'Lets Go to Bed' right after this played in a Club. 😏 Usually The Cure we're followed by Echo & The Bunnymen song, 'Jimmy Barnes (Bring on The Dancing Horses)' 🤔 or Duran Duran 'Girls on Film'. 🙄 Dang, that 1 song got me flashing back to Club Playlist DJ days.... 🤯 And I wasn't even a DJ! 😜🐰

[@kentinatl]

Love them..try their song "Confusion" keep em comin' my rocky mountain friends...Kent

[@aspenward390]

My college years come rushing back while listening to this. Bands that I'd never go see perform, but would hear at dance clubs with the DJ's and light shows and Molly (thats a drug of the time, Ecstasy). Becoming drenched with sweat from dancing for hours as only the young can do, with music like this playing non-stop. So, for me, it fits in that special category that my context built for it; college, dance, clubs, wildness shared with others. And it isn't like the 70's or other periods where the songs are listened to for pleasure. There are other great bands from this period too, as mentioned. I want to commend your listeners (and those who recommend), again. I am so impressed with their knowledge and requests, New Order (and Joy Division) are not often requested on these channels, and many of the bands and songs listened to here are deep looks at the respective music periods. Really informative for me, as well as entertaining. Take a bow Reed. :-)

[@14gilbertst]

I recommend the songs 'Regret' and Ruined in a Day' from their 1993 album, Republic, and the song 'Vanishing Point' from 1989's album, Technique. The song 'True Faith', was of course a big hit in 1987.

[@SeriousMist]

How can someone know The Smiths and The Cure but never heard about New Order ? Sometimes being old makes me smile. 5-8-6 is the most relevant track in New Order journey. You can clearly hear when New Order became a separate band from Joy Division. It starts JD and gives birth to NO … all in one track. Great you enjoyed this one !

[@therealtwiggyleaf]

Great song from a seminal album. I really love that "glassy" synth strings sound. 😎 Thanks for the review.

[@deckofcards87]

You two have surely heard New Order's Blue Monday...otherwise you've lived under a giant rock, it's one of the highest selling singles in history

[@rickhawk22]

Right on, they are a British band. New Wave or Alternative is what we called it in the 80’s. Earlier New Order sounds like their previous monaker’s output Joy Division. As the albums moved through the 80’s it morphed closer to New Wave and to Synthpop. They were one of the Pioneers of Synthpop / dance movement like Depeche Mode, OMD, Erasure, YAZOO

[@stefanblue660]

So good you have found them ! Nice, early song, but they have developed enormously after that, complete autodidacts without any musical education,starrting with Punk,they just did iit,that's what makes them iconic like Joy Division before. Many masterpieces like The Perfect Kiss (Celebrated video) Sunrise, Angel Dust, Vanishing Point, Dream Attack, Regret, Chemical, Crystal, Turn my way, Primitive notion , World and Blue Monday. They came from Post-Punk, New wave going to Electropop, they already even had Techno Elements before it was invented. Pioneers, very influental. And they had that bitter sweetness like The Smiths and The Cure, just more dancable .

[@mhump23]

Post Punk. Lots of great bands in this genre. So much of it seemed centered around Manchester GB. Check out the movie 24 Hour Party People for a nice chronicle of the Manchester scene.

[@Scott_Forsell]

It's emo post-punk techno shoe gaze synth trance. Peter Hook is so fucking cool he doesn't even look at his hands when he plays. New Order uses just an enormous amount of layered synths and bass and just super tight and controlled drums either real or digital. New Order has a very specific sound that can peg immediately. That sound is uniquely them.The Cure did it as well. You could choose a song snippet at random and be absolutely 100% sure that that is New Order. Sui generis.

[@livealittle1100]

at sometimes i really thinks that Americans dont listen music outside of their country. New Order was famous in Malaysia back in early 80s. I remember i had to wait for weeks to get my hands on vinyl since it had to shipped all the way from UK. Same as for A Flock of Seagulls. Literally cheated my dad to get the vinyl. Told him was gonna get geomtery box for class but then went and bought the album. Sweet memories. The genre is called New Wave and came all the way UK underground bands. They mostly use synthesizers in their music which was very unique at that time. Later "The Cars" band from America started doing it as well. The most pioneer New Wave band is Orchestral Manueveres in the Dark (OMD). All their songs are amazing.

[@timpindar]

Great song, great band! Next up by them should be Blue Monday, as it’s such an iconic song. Also Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division, the band that came before New Order.

[@johnbrookes4892]

They've come a long way since they were Joy Division in 1976, and survived though the then lead singer Ian Curtis killed himself along the way. They still play gigs as their own support act playing Joy Division songs ;) and the bass is still amazing

[@johntrickey4188]

At their conception, after the end of Joy Division, they were very mysterious, private band they very rarely gave interviews. But much as changed in the last 30 years, founding bassist exstroidinare Peter Hook left the band around 2008, and is Peter Hook& the light. They only had 4 studio albums in the '80's, they were a band that combined dance, electronica, rock, just a superb group.

[@josemorales5117]

New Order was born from the Ashes of Joy Division. And they really started to experiment with electronics and was the band who could really basically blend Rock and Techno in one. Kudos I still have this CD (one of the first ones that came in that format back in 1989).

When this song was released, I was about to turn 19. I was in a band and we learned to play this song fairly quickly. I worked as a laborer at a large landfill It was on a peninsula on the Hudson River about 20 miles north of NYC. The other side was a campground, poor people living in trailers and cabins rented from the county. The parents commuted from the nearby RR station. There was this girl, total knockout. We drove by her for several weeks. Eventually I chatted her up. She was 2-3 weeks from the age of consent. I'll be damned if I could remember her name, but her odd, single father wanted me to date/marry her. I lost my virginity to a woman twice my age a few weeks prior. I was so confused as a typical 19 year old is, especially getting kicked out of my home at that time. We dated a few times. We celebrated her reaching her age of consent within my reaching the age of consent. +1 around the same time This song always reminds me of the path not chosen The chaos.that ensewed for 4+ years later and the eventual arrival of where I am today . This was the theme song of those crossroads

Hi, Great reaction to this song. Having lived through the Punk / New Wave / New Romantics era there is so much good music to come out of there during the 80's. One of my favourite all time music videos from the 80's is actually by New Order - "True Faith" [ 1987 - Official Music Video. ] on u.tube. I have watched more times than any other music video. Brilliant song - but that video really is pretty special. Not asking for a reaction - Just watch it.....[ bet you watch more than once ....twice....three times.... Lol ]

Just back here again to bug you about Lingus. And that you've got to include the video when you do. It genuinely does add to it, just because it's a recording of that performance and it's so incredible to see the vibe in that room. So yeah, Lingus. Lingus.

The rabbit hole that is Power Corruption and Lies. My fave-Your Silent Face, 586...New Wave, in hindsight now Post Punk/Synth Pop. I grew up on the Beatles and Zep, yet new Order is my fave band. You wanna list, just ask me ; )

[@gary2kr1]

First off (and I think I speak for everyone here lol) you two are great. Second this is an amazing band with many great songs. I look forward to more

[@NicknLex]

Very kind of you; thank you!! Glad you enjoyed! :)

Welcome to finding your new favourite band.

[@VCCassidy]

The genre you’re trying to describe is post-punk (the cure, new order, the smiths, etc). Sometimes would crossover with mainstream new wave, sometimes not. New Order had a few big dance hits from the era, but in general they were bigger in the UK.

Perfect Kiss is my favourite. 12" version. Definitely a song about going out when you should have stayed in...

[@christianguerin9460]

I was thinking... I wonder why you never react to David Bowie. Maybe you know his music already. If you dont, you should start with Space oddity. And Honky Dory album. And Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. There is so much good music to discover from Bowie.
