New Order Reaction Bizarre Love Triangle (SYNTHPOP BANANAS!) | Dereck Reacts

[@RobbnCO]

"imagine this thing in the clubs" ... I don't have to, I was there :-)

[@zlattesboy]

The 12" versions of True Faith, Touched By The Hand Of God and The Perfect Kiss are equally brilliant!

[@TristouMTL]

New Order took what everyone was doing -- finding new catchy synth sounds and layering them over and over again -- and showed everyone how to do it right. So clean, such control!

[@chrismill5303]

@@TristouMTL and this was analog days. there were some songs from the time where, if you listened hard enough, you'd notice the cut. but they were done so painstakingly, it wouldn't jar you on the dance floor.

[@danpiedra3910]

I would also include the 12" versions of Temptation and Everything's Gone Green. Even the B-side of Temptation (Hurt) is quite good.

[@miguelrecio7464]

The overall rhythm and the build ups of the 12" Touched By the Hand Of God, is 🔥

[@v.j.3029]

This song was HUGE in the clubs back then. So good!

[@Eagle4448]

Huge on the radio too... Some people compares this kind of music to some nowadays eletronic music but they forget that this type of music was MAINSTREAM that era, not niche music. This played on the radio all the time in every where...

[@chrismill5303]

in our country, it played in beach parties and barrio fiestas right up to the early 90s. it's nearly 7 min. long, but if radio ever had this song on, it's always this dance remix.

[@slimlouis6441]

There’s just now way to properly convey what it was like when sounds, not genres, but actual sounds were new. Used differently. It just doesn’t happen anymore in that way. We were so lucky. 70s & 80s we’re crazy.

[@TheJimprez]

Man! I miss the 80s so much. The BEST decade to be a teen, EVER!!!

[@davidslate2005]

I agree, and it seemed to be the beginning of the British, American, German, and Scandinavian meshing.

[@n545ca1]

Absolutely was

[@joelscottarnold3262]

This is still dance floor FIRE!!!! The 80’s were EVERYTHING!!

[@skipstreet]

Imagine this thing in the clubs? I didn't imagine. Some of us were there. The crowds. The sweat. The feeling of joy.

[@ijustneedmyself]

I got to experience it way after the fact (early 00s) and it was an absolute blast. I can't even imagine it during its time!!

[@LuisA-fc3ox]

You are blown away listening to this in 2022, imagine what we thought when we first heard it in 1986.

[@jaquettajones]

3 words : PACKED DANCE FLOOR !! :-D We did NOT Know how Good we had it!! :-(

[@mgparis]

You can't get much better than New Order... Thanks Dereck!

[@jerrycote659]

OMG! I’ve been waiting for you to get to this epic synthpop MASTERPIECE. My absolute favorite New Order song and quite possibly all time fave. Cannot wait to see them again, counting down to October 7, 2022 Hollywood Bowl - Unity Tour, New Order and Pet Shop Boys. You need to hear this song in a large venue, big cavernous space to fully appreciate the genius of all the sounds. Gillian Gilbert is the synth virtuoso in this track. Dive head first down the New Order rabbit hole and you’ll have the best experience in sound. If you like the synth work in this song they have a more recent track which is very synthy called “Plastic” which is very vey synth dance heaven. Also, Tutti Frutti another disco banger. The whole album “Technique” is worth exploring as well. Check out Round and Round and Fine Time as well.

[@FFF666GP]

2 words: “True Faith”

[@simonrichards6739]

I love your reaction to this, new order are one of my faves, the way they emerged from the ashes of joy division is amazing! I saw them a few years ago live do this and I teared up, there was a child on her dads shoulders next to me around 11 y/o and she knew it word for word, I turned to her dad and said “that’s good parenting pal”!

[@Miss-Katie]

You had to be there. It was the best of times. Get me a time machine to go back.

[@zafnatpaneaj4992]

Dancing this masterpiece in a dance club it feels like a heaven...!!!🎶🎵👍💪🙏👏

[@malcolmpayne8211]

One of my favourite New Order songs. Glad you checked out the extended version to fully appreciate it. I would recommend anyone to check out a piano cover by Caroline Chan.

[@MareTranquillitatis]

This is my favorite song of all time...and has been since 1987 when this version was released on Substance.

[@luisricardo4676]

Great reaction Dereck. Here in Brazil it is almost mandatory to play this song in every disco and nightclub, Blue Monday and True Faith versions also understood from New Order. I love New Order and Pet Shop Boys. Derek will leave as a suggestion for you to react to the song Born Slippy from Underwood live at Glastonbury 2016. This song is theme from the movie Trainspotting. I'm sure you will love this sound. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYKqgJ-XrM5ppJI

[@Gholden1972]

One of my all time favorite songs. This is the first version I heard when I was 16, clumsy and shy (smiths reference there ha) back in 1988. I do love and prefer the original variations of it - the 1986 brotherhood and Best of ‘94 version due to the magical synth choir and epic real synth.

[@mariflame1821]

One of my favorite 80s songs! New Order is great!

[@joannetyndall3625]

You said "I wanna go back" just as I was thinking how fooking lucky I was to be an 80s teenager!xx

[@christian9065]

Finally! someone reacts to this beautiful extended version, thank you.

[@BadassBeazly]

My teen life in the late 80's was so fun... pool parties, friends and neon everything and anything! New Order, OMD and Strange Advance were my favourites. Dancing to this song with my friends in the clubs was an absolute BLAST! Whenever Bizzare Love Triangle was played by the DJ, the whole club raced onto the floor. I met and made many friends on the dance floor; many of them are still a a part of my life to this day.

[@Gholden1972]

Such an amazing community and times.

[@MP-kv3fo]

Yes yes yes. Exactly my feelings And my memories of that time

[@MillaHannula]

I love this gem ! Thank you for reviewing it !!!

[@mariociacchi9619]

You Sir can now understand the love we have for our 80's music..

[@EduardoMontenegrotheoutsider]

"Bizarre Love Triangle" is a "Masterpiece" of 80's music and Synthpop history... Many Thanks for analize.

[@karlton7841]

80's clubbing kids will relate.

[@brittanymyrick3321]

This is one my all time FAVORITE songs ever!!! I love 80s music my fav band all time from the 80s Depeche Mode. This New Order song speaks to me so much. Another song I'd prob want played at my funeral when I die. 💗🖤💗🖤💗🖤🤘🤘🤘

[@Dammm2503]

The 80's was best for music

[@jericoba]

LOOOOOVED this song, original and extended, for decades! Glad you found it. Masterpiece indeed! Fun fact: It was the ending credits song in the '80's movie "Married to the Mob".

[@ronpotts6385]

It was midsummer '87 when I first heard "Bizarre Love Triangle", my introduction to New Order. I was 13 and my 20-year-old big brother and I were watching some Geraldo Rivera special on T. V. about organized crime in America. During a party scene, there was this insanely catchy, synth-heavy song playing in the background. We both were so enthralled in that song that my bro went to the Sam Goody the next day and bought the 12-inch single of the song, " Bizarre Love Triangle". Not long after that, he bought " Substance", a flawless compilation of New Order singles going back to when they formed, following the tragic suicide of Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis. My bro went to see New Order in '89, and I finally saw them in '05, in a great performance at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival in California. A lifelong love of New Order started with some Geraldo Rivera special!

[@ginatse12]

I was 12 !!!!!!

[@joannetyndall3625]

This tune transports me back to my 80s bedroom!xx

[@timothydeweese6931]

Yes, it lit the dance floor on fire

[@boermed]

should try New Orders Vanishing Point or Regret or 1963 . if you like trippy videos you should try Herbie Hancock - Rockit

[@pascalmarfaing1690]

New Order is famous for their extented versions. I pourchaded all New Order's CD.

[@claireletourneur9127]

I love this voice!! Good song! Bisous

J'adore cette voix!! Bonne chanson!

Reaction a "Perfect kiss" "vanishing Point" " Blue Monday " New order

[@MrSisime]

In love with this song. Thanks for discover

[@robertlanier2235]

New Order is the remaining members of Joy Division. I think you would love Joy Division as well you should give it a try.

[@andrewswink5825]

Check out New Order "Regret" Also The Naked And Famous "Young Blood"

[@jacintavanberkel8033]

Ok this song i loved. I had forgotten about it. Taking me back to my teenage years. So good. Im energized now for the day.

[@bryanforis1839]

When you heár a master at work

[@PaulAJacksonMusic]

The Shep Pettibone 12" remix of True Faith is a must

[@oceansdaughter9885]

Hi Derek, Peter Hook is the bassist and plays all the bass!! No synth. He’s the most amazing bassist, in my opinion. New Order is very different now that Peter has gone on his own (Peter Hook and The Light.) When the band formed after the death of Ian Curtis, (They were Joy Division then) it’s what kept me loving the band, Peter’s bass playing. He made the band 😊

[@chrislc35]

has to react to their song "true faith" now, such a cool song, wacky video too. probably their biggest "pop chart hit" .

[@billymuellerTikTok]

check out Erasure, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, Real Life too if you like New Order

[@katehaynes5735]

Welcome to my alltime favorite song!

[@janosfernandez945]

How many times i danced to it !

[@mariociacchi9619]

My Favorite song ever!!

[@vincentlaguerre147]

Ma jeunesse, toujours aussi époustouflante cette chanson, du grand art.

[@maritast.537]

Hi Derek , Thank you for this react, was great. Please could you react to Cozy Powell‘s Dance with the devil? That would be so amazing. Thank you and have a great Christmas Time . 🎄

[@catwalkchien7198]

You should check out Frente's cover version. Total transformation.

[@richardmtl]

so good

[@rharvey2124]

Several New Order hits were re-released in the mid-90s and were big in the dance clubs. This song, Regret, etc.

[@euronick61]

My favourite mix of my favourite New order song

[@jamiefaryniak8894]

To be of age in the 80s when this song was playing in the clubs! Amazing. And it was! Thank you for celebrating my youth!

[@kristianTV1974]

I don't believe in reincarnation because I REFUSE to come back, as a BUG, or as a RABBIT!

Listen and watch this, I have followed Joy Division and then New Order from day one. They do stuff that no other group do. The same song remixed for Tomorrowland, search it here BIZARRE LOVE TRIANGLE 2019 Don Pelletier - Enya Remixes

[@jasonwilkerson9497]

This was HUGE in the club. I was there. Lol.

[@freddyhill8632]

Great reaction. New order is one of my favs. There music has mature way better now. More of a rock synth with great lyrics .

[@numerikproductions]

I think two generations danced to this song in clubs...

[@manuelruizdiaz3155]

New Order is my favorite band. The producer in this album was Shep Pettibone, who workded wth Madonna, U2, Erasure, Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears and many others bands. One of the best Producers ever.

[@chrismill5303]

with new order, the basslines were usually synth (with exceptions), because they often used the bass as lead guitar. note, the last part of "b.l.t." and "perfect kiss".

[@rosariobuenafe9865]

Amazing😮😮😮 that's extended version😊

[@sallepoly]

les new order :)

[@Pascualegea]

LA MEJOR CANCION DEL MUNDOOO 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 NEW ORDER

Hooky’s bass curls at the end are still yet to be bettered. 4 decades and still no one can touch this

[@mcasualjacques]

of course we end here when we type synth-pop :)

Yes! This one was a big deal at the clubs back in the days...

Oh yes:

[@817mikeyh]

New Order bossed the 80’s

[@MP-kv3fo]

One of my favorites of all time. Still listening in 2022. I was 12 in 1986. Most of my favorites are from That time of my life. This one was on rotation all night at all our parties for many years

[@dopiaza2006]

Something went wrong around 7:08 - a bit of the song missed out and a clear change to a different recording. Shame, it cut out the really bizarre bit!

[@jaynagerber7474]

The bass in this one is not synth generated. It was played by the dedicated bassist in the band, Peter Hook...every other sound in every one of their songs may or may not be be synth based, but that's the only one that won't be!

[@byteblock1667]

I saw a video a long time ago of new order playing this in what looked like a studio and the drummer and bass player were killing this shit.

[@anthonyv1719]

"masterpiece" you got it right. By the way, the bass player, took the place of lead guitar, and the bass tended to set the rhythms - and the solos were bass as well - they set the standard.

[@douglastaggart9360]

There is actually another version which is even better than this one.

[@carlosmodegahan4455]

What’s the other version that is better than this one???

[@Blackmallowtube]

@@carlosmodegahan4455 🐇 🐍 : You know, you're really an up-person.

[@carlosmodegahan4455]

@@Blackmallowtube ha,ha the video version!!! Yes, it’s good as well.

[@fredshred5194]

they mixed synth with real instruments. There is a bass player Hooky, the drums to, he wanted the it to do the boring bits while he done the rest. They were a bit ahead of the curve on those issues.

[@BladeMasterz916]

"imagine this at the clubs". I lived it!!!!!
