About New Order
New Order is comprised of Bernard Sumner (guitar, vocals), Stephen Morris (drums), Peter Hooks (bass) and Gillian Gilbert (keyboards), Manchester, U.K.-based band New Order was formed in 1980 by the remaining members of  Joy Division after lead singer
Ian Curtis' suicide. They went on to develop a groundbreaking sound mixing synthesizer-driven pop, electronic dance beats and alt-rock, releasing five influential albums during
the '80s that changed the course of alternative music.

About Technique
New Order closed its brilliant run throughout the '80s with 1989's TECHNIQUE, an album epitomizing the exploding popularity of the U.K.'s acid house scene. It debuted at #1 in the U.K. and climbed to #32 on the Billboard 200 - making it the group's first non-compilation Top 40 pop album. TECHNIQUE  also introduced the singles “Run,” “Fine Time” and “Round & Round,” as well as “Vanishing Point,” a song later used as the theme for a high-profile British TV show.

Disc One of Rhino's new 2-CD COLLECTOR'S EDITION  features the newly remastered original nine-song album, while bonus disc Disc Two compiles nine additional rarities including non-album singles, B-sides and alternative versions.

Bonus track highlights include the 12” single “World In Motion,” the official song of the English national football team in 1990's World Cup competition. Also featured is “Fine Line,” an instrumental version of the album track “Fine Time” and the B-sides “Best & Marsh” and “MTO.”
