    A "Technique" that works

    By Nubian ∑agle ©™  Jan 30, 2007

    Pros: A solid dance-oriented album from New Order

    Cons: A bit dated in production, but it still packs a solid punch

    1989's "Technique" may not be New Order's best album, but it's easily their most accessible release. Alternating between hook-infested guitar pop and perky disco, "Technique" finds New Order experimenting with acid hou...se on the bouncy first single "Fine Time." In that song, singer Bernard Summer tries to shake off a persistent lover who's "much too young to mess around" with him. Elsewhere, there's the energetic rush of "Round and Round," the guitar-flavored "Run" and "Dream Attack" and the disco stomp of "Vanishing Point." All the ingredietns of a New Order album are here: Peter Hook's rubbery bass, Bernard Summer's spoken child vocals, and synths that occaisonally sound 1980s. While "Brotherhood" and "Low-Life" are at present my two favorite New Order releases, "Technique" is a solid CD that deserved its gold status in the US. Read more Less

    ANOTHER BEST PIECE

    By Kamina  Jan 9, 2002

    Everytime New Order releases a new albums, its always worth a buy. This one is no exception either, i brought a copy of it back in 89 and still everytime i played it gets better..The album highlights the variety of techo and experimental sound the ba...nd concocted...Bernard Summer modalvoice & bands use/play of power-base with synchronized hypnotic play of inter-weaving keyboards fills by Gillian Gilbert ,still retains one of the bands trademark.....it's no wonder this band still maintains a profile respect from new generation of techno artist and band. "All The Way" and "Loveless"gives you a breath and reminiscent of a Joy Division tone. "Round and Round" another fine example of the bands ingenuity in keyboard and base play, creating a sound which is appealing on the ear n the dancefloor....."Dream Attack"is very different from the very typical sounds the band employs, but it certainly illustrates the bands broad skills and capacity to experiment and explore the different sounds of techno with the use of base and basic repetitive guitar riffs. All in all, the album itself showcase another best piece in the offing esp, to all the new-wave and techo followers.. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Technique

  • All Music Guide

    The first postacid house masterpiece of British pop, Technique presents New Order doing what they'd done best for close to a decade writing brilliant leftfield pop songs and consistently blurring the line between electronic dance and alternative pop. From the driving singles "Fine Time," "Run," and "Round Round," it would appear that Technique was the band's most danceslanted record yet, though rockier album tracks like "Love Less" and "All the Way" reveal the band having it both ways. "Mr. Disco" proves that the group's baffling sense of humor is still intact.
