According to Bernard Sumner, "Blue Monday" was influenced by four songs: the arrangement came from "Dirty Talk", by Klein + M.B.O.; the signature bassline with octaves came from Sylvester's disco classic, "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)"; the beat came from "Our Love", by Donna Summer; and the long keyboard pad on the intro and outro was sampled from the Kraftwerk song "Uranium", from the Radio-Activity album.

Try this arrangement-approach in the age of today and you'll get at least 4 law suits!

The Klein and MBO link is more obvious though

That is the bassline right there from Dirty Talk

The Sylvester Bassline has a similar vibe I would say! However I know of Klein & MBO Dirty Talk but never listened to it, Sounds almost Electro Funk more that Italo. Gonna check it now...

I must admit I didn't know about MBO & Klein

But I must say, this is the bomb, how something over 30 years old can sound so current is just amazing

Because the 808 drum is back in fashion!

The Whole Nu-Disco scene is built around this 1982-85 kinda sound!

I had to laugh one day at work some young EDM/Trance head was listening to local day time radio and Georgio Moroder's production of Donna Summer - I Feel Love was playing loud, his reaction was "Wow, listen to that", I said "Don't you know this?", he replied "Never heard it before, but it's awesome!", I had to just laugh and say "This was made in the 70's"...

Produces a "Wow" reaction every time

I can still remember when I first heard it, back in '86. The boyfriend of my sister had a cassette of the "Walk Away" best of compilation. Caught my attention straight away

New Order changed my world around.

Why should you care?

You shouldn't. If you do, I'd be pretty worried for you.

Where was I?

Ah yes. New Order.

They pissed me off with that piss take of the heavy metal headbangers of which I was one.

Can't remember now. Shep Pettibone and Arthur Baker.

Ah, Shep!

Music didn't sound like that then. It was wrong. Now everything is right. Even the wrong bits. Wubba wubba f**ked up stutter f**k.

Er right.

I'm old grand dad. I'll be the one busted for carrying Es in my hollowed out walking stick. Then again, it will only be for cash. Ecstacy and Amphetamine must take a terrible toll on the body at that age.

f**k knows, I can't even drink a coffee these days without keeling over.

My days are numbered.

But the music lives on!

I never even knew Ian existed when I first heard them.

They had reinvented themselves so successfully.

But, yeah, I got deep into Joy Division stuff.

They just hit the right note at the right time.

Peter Hook and Barney/Bernard are just so full of anti-charisma.

Getting older. Getting fat. Like some of the rest of us.

f**king Curtis. Not ours to reason why.

No need to romanticise it.

Joy Division were like BC. And New Order were like AD. Not many bands can say they ever straddled that divide.

Still, best band in the world, ever. And R.I.P. Tony Wilson. What a c**t!

While I was never a big fan of New Order (I was too young at the time) they still composed one of my favourite pieces of intrumental music ever, namely Elegia from Low Life (1985). It still gives me goose bumps after all these years.

It is the soundtrack to More, a fantastic short film by Mark Osborne (of Kung Fu Panda fame). So Elegia is highly associated with this film and I love them both to pieces.
