| | New Order Power, Corruption & Lies CD New Order Discography of CDs
Within the cohesive, unified musical vision of POWER, CORRUPTION & LIES are contained many definitive New Order moments: "Your Silent Face" is epic in scope, from its otherworldy throb and lush synth pads straight down to its emotive melodica theme and resigned, understated melody. The wild, danceable "Ecstasy" foreshadowed the club culture that the band was to help inaugurate with its angular instrumentation and relentless synth riffing. The bittersweet closer "Leave Me Alone" features one of Sumner's most tender melodies atop a backdrop of ringing, intertwining twin guitars and halting drumbeat.
Opening with the insistent guitar figure of "Age Of Consent," POWER, CORRUPTION & LIES immediately makes its mission clear: an economical album (its eight tracks barely break 40 minutes), PC&L truly shows a band at the top of its game. Striking a perfect blend between man and machine, the simple, hook-laden guitar work of vocalist Bernard Sumner and thundering yet melodic bass of Peter Hook form a warm, organic center, around which is wrapped an ocean of rich, inventive keyboard textures.
New Order: Bernard Sumner (vocals, guitar); Gillian Gilbert (guitar, keyboards); Peter Hook (bass); Stephen Morris (drums).

With LOW-LIFE, New Order truly hit their stride with their highly individual combination of infectious rhythms, inventive composition and performances full of conviction. The vulnerable lyrics and earnest delivery of Bernard Sumner are in top form; his voice is at last a completely developed instrument, clear and comfortable as it wraps itself around such memorable tracks as the opening "Love Vigilantes," a solid, purely guitar-driven narrative.
Following immediately and in sharp contrast is LOW LIFE's biggest success, "The Perfect ...

After the tragic suicide of Joy Division's Ian Curtis, the band restructured. Guitarist Bernard Sumner, whose gift for combining the melodic with the hypnotic had been the band's cornerstone, stepped up to the microphone. The resulting debut MOVEMENT finds the group taking a brave step away from its unfortunate past. Preserved are Joy Division's dark edges--Sumner's guitar attack swerves deftly between funereal repetition and noisy bursts, while bassist Peter Hook continues to explore his instrument's upper registers.
From the slow, deliberate ...
| | marge calhoun Twisted Tales Of Passion And Pain CD (2002)
Power, Corruption & Lies
$13.15
This very intriguing disc is powered by the elastic voice of Marge Calhoun. At times she has the power to soar and take off and carry you to far distant places, at other times she plunges you down deep into yourself, and at other times she carries you into the heart of her heart. Her singing always has that ring of an honest tale. Calhoun wrote or co-wrote 12 of the 14 well-crafted tales that have the tone of a life lived with pain, but it is a pain that is accepted as being a natural part of living. On one of the two songs she didn't write, "Love Song," written in 1969 by Lesley Duncan, she has a type of sound very much like Marianne Faithfull, as haunting as that old memory of a past love that won't fade from the inner recesses of the mind. The other song she didn't write is the instrumental that ends the disc; her daughter Kendra Calhoun (who also plays keyboards on this cut) wrote "Day Break." On this disc, which was very ably produced by Gary Crockett and Jonathan Yudkin, there is a wonderful clarity of sound; it is well paced with no jarring changes, ...
