Overview Edit

Movement is New Order's debut album, released in November 1981 on Factory Records. At the time of its release, the album was not particularly well received by critics or consumers, only peaking at #30 on the UK album charts. (By contrast, Closer, an album the band had released just over a year before as Joy Division, reached #6.) Over the years the album has built a strong fanbase for its emotional and musical link to Joy Division, as well as its natural evolution on the other hand. Retrospective reviews for Movement have been very positive.

In 2008 the album was re-released in a Collector's Edition with a bonus disc.

5 stars The bonus songs rule
Say what you want about the original Movement album itself, but the disc of bonus songs on this edition is truly amazing. Songs like Procession and Ceremony are my favorite kind of New Order songs. One reason I enjoy these discs is that the band is exploring and is not sure where they are going - it is transitional, but very unique. New Order later fully realized their sound with great confidence, but I prefer their awkward phase for some reason. Maybe this is a collection for listeners who are …

1 stars Loaded with errors
The MUSIC on these New Order reissues get a 5/5, easily. However, there were far too many egregious mistakes made in the creation of the discs themselves to give them a pass. Only the first discs were re-mastered though they still have some problems, it is the bonus discs that are an absolute mess.

Warner Music/Rhino know about these problems, but there is yet no word on any forthcoming fixes. So I'd hold off until these issues are addressed.

Noted below are the specific problems with the Move…

Trivia Edit

  • This album was the last time that Martin Hannett worked with New Order. Apparently they hated the results.
  • Supposedly the band and Martin Hannett's relationship was at an all time low, and Martin refused to speak to the members until they supplied him with his favourite substance on demand.
