SummersRadio™ New Music! New Order - 'I've Got A Feeling'

New Order have just released a new-ish album called 'Lost Sirens'! Now I say new-ish because the tracks were recorded during the 'Waiting For The Sirens' Call' sessions between 2003 and 2004 - but six out of the album's eight tracks have never been released until now.

The songs were originally intended for the follow up to 'Waiting For...' but the group broke up in 2007. They've since reformed for some live shows in 2011 and 12 - without Peter Hook - but with the return of Gillian Gilbert.
          

I find it difficult to consider this their proper ninth album - perhaps 'Leftover Sirens' would be a more apt title. Two tracks have been available previously - 'Hellbent" was released in 2011 as part of the compilation album 'Total: From Joy Division to New Order'. 'I Told You So' also appeared on 'Waiting For..' but 'Lost Sirens' features the 'Crazy World Mix' of the song.

'Lost Sirens' is available for download now on itunes and it will be available physically on cd and as a vinyl + cd package through Amazon tomorrow: http://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_9?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=new+order+lost+sirens&sprefix=new+order%2Caps%2C493

As 'Lost Sirens' is from the band's early 00's period the focus here is more on guitars - the keyboards are scarce. 'I've Got A Feeling' is a standout track with Peter Hook's soothing bass and some nice guitar effects... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Electronic!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Electronic - 'The Patience Of A Saint' I mentioned the band Electronic in yesterday's Stop Modernists post - and how two of the three songs that Neil Tennant sang on were singles. Well this is the third - which SHOULD have been released as a single - a witty duet between New Order's Bernard Sumner and the Pet Shop Boys Neil Tennant - not to mention featuring the Smith's Johnny Marr - I mean, how cool is that?!

I always wished that remixes had been made of this song - but they never were. There's still time though - Electronic's self titled debut album was released in 1991 - they could easily release a 20th anniversary edition with all new remixes - I'm talking to you EMI!

Despite it's apparent destiny to remain a relatively unknown album track, part of what makes this song so great are the sardonic lyrics. Some of my favorite lines are 'And if I drove a faster car, I'd drive it bloody well' and 'Why should I care? I'd rather watch drying paint'. This is 'The Patience Of A Saint'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Bernard Sumner + Hot Chip + Hot City!

SummersRadio™ New Video! Bernard Sumner, Hot Chip & Hot City - 'Didn't Know What Love Was' Like Massive Attack, Hot Chip have previously worked with the War Child charity, by contributing to last year's 'Heroes' album, where they covered Joy Division's 'Transmission' track. Now here they are recording with Joy Division/ New Order's Bernard Sumner - however this time around they're hawking sneakers! This is the new video for this unique collaboration between Mr. Sumner, Hot Chip, and London's dj/ remix duo Hot City. This was recorded exclusively for Converse and is the latest in a series - the next one is reported to include Blur's Graham Coxon and the former guitarist of the Coral... Enjoy!
