MANCHESTER-born designer Peter Saville, whose career kick-started with his landmark album covers for Factory Records in the seventies, is bringing a collection of his work back to the city.

About 500 pieces, including his earliest album covers for Joy Division and New Order, consultancy work for fashion houses Dior and Givenchy and fashion images for designers Stella McCartney and Yohji Yamamoto, are to be shown in city centre museum Urbis as part of a new exhibition - The Peter Saville Show.

The display, which arrives from Tokyo in December for the opening on January 23 2004, is backed by a New Order soundtrack to take Mancunians back to their Hacienda days.

It is part of the museum's effort to make its image more attractive to the public, and Saville says he can't wait to see their response.

"Growing up in Manchester has characterized my work," he says. "It's rewarding to be asked back to show the work in the city where its spirit belongs. After all these years, I'm intrigued to know what Manchester makes of it."

THE PETER SAVILLE SHOW IN JAPAN

25 October to 09 November 2003

More Info Click Here

Laforest Museum in Japan (is to present the retrospective of the work of Peter Saville, one of the most influential graphic designers and art directors of our time, in The Peter Saville Show, a landmark exhibition drawn from his private archive which will run from 25 October to 09 November 2003.

Since the late 1970s when he began his long collaboration with Joy Division and New Order as a co-founder of Factory Records, Peter Saville has been a central figure in design and style culture. The New York Times described him as “the default creative director for a style-obsessed generation”. This exhibition will trace Saville’s career from the first Factory poster onwards.

Revenge | One True Passion V2.0

February 2004 sees a deluxe 2xCD reissue of the sole album by Revenge, the electro/hard rock hybrid fronted by New Order bass player Peter Hook between 1989 and 1992. Following the release of Technique in 1989, the four members of New Order spent time apart to pursue other ventures. Always intended as a proper band rather than a solo project, Hook was joined in Revenge by Chris Jones and Dave Hicks, and later by David Potts, who would remain with Hook as part of Monaco five years later.
One True Passion was originally released by Factory Records in June 1990 and spawned a trio of singles: 7 Reasons, Pineapple Face and Slave. Given free reign to indulge Hook's leather-trousered rockist instincts, the material welded hard rock to dance beats, with a lyrical focus on sin and redemption. The artwork was just as contradictory, combining sleek Peter Saville typography with softcore imagery by Suze Randall. The band toured like bastards, and in January 1992 delivered the excellent ep Gun World Porn, which offered a more laid back, intimate feel.
Deleted after the messy collapse of Factory in late 1992, One True Passion has now been extensively reconfigured by Peter Hook, and includes Hook's new recordings of the late period unreleased tracks The Wilding and Televive. The set comes with a full-length bonus disc, Be Careful What You Wish For, with lots of rare remixes and unreleased songs in demo form. All 30 tracks, over two hours of music, have been carefully digitally remastered. The booklet includes sleevenotes by Joy Division/New Order biographer Claude Flowers, and a new, highly candid interview with Peter Hook on the background of the band.
FOR RELEASE FEBRUARY 2 2004.

Always intended as a proper band rather than a solo project, Hook was joined in Revenge by Chris Jones and Dave Hicks, and later by David Potts, who would remain with Hook as part of Monaco five years
later. Indeed in some respects Revenge can be seen as a dry run for Monaco, who went on to deliver a top ten album and single in 1997. One True Passion was first released by Factory Records in June 1990 and spawned a trio of singles, 7 Reasons, Pineapple Face and Slave. Given free reign to indulge Hook’s leather-trousered rockist instincts, the OTP material welded hard rock to dance beats, with a lyrical focus on sin and redemption.

The band toured like bastards, and in January 1992 delivered the excellent ep Gun World Porn, which offered a more laid back, intimate feel. Deleted after the messy collapse of Factory in late 1992, One True Passion has now been retooled and reconfigured by Hook and Potts, and comes with a full-length bonus disc of rare remixes and unreleased songs in demo form.
Standout tracks include 7 Reasons, Deadbeat, Big Bang, State of Shock, Pineapple Face and Jesus I Love You. All material has been carefully digitally remastered. The set contains over two hours of music, and the booklet includes sleevenotes by Joy Division/New Order biographer Claude Flowers.

Time for a New look

BACK IN BLACK: New Order

MANCHESTER heroes New Order are getting back to basics as they work on their latest album, which is currently being brought to life at the band's Macclesfield studio.

Gillian Gilbert, who joined as keyboard player at the time of the band's transition from Joy Division after Ian Curtis' death in 1980, is not working on the new release and has instead been replaced by an (unspecified) guest guitarist, joining bass player Peter Hook and singer Bernard Sumner.

Gilbert, partner of New Order drummer Stephen Morris, didn't join the group on their most recent tour.

A source says the latest New Order sound is similar to that which they produced in their previous guise. "It is much more like Joy Division again," he says.

"Gillian has left completely and they don't write so many keyboard parts any more."

(Thanks Allan for the info)

Peter Hook, New Order: All-time Manchester United XI

Victoria Barrett

Sunday September 7, 2003

The Observer

As a kid I used to live near Old Trafford. We couldn't afford to go in, but we used to hang round the stadium. I was about 14 when I went to my first match. It was when the Stretford End used to riot. You spent most of the time watching the fans rather than the match. None of my family supported United and my mates in Salford were City fans. We used to go to the derbies together - there was always a lot of trouble. My God, it was frightening. I guess that was what stopped me from going, and once I got into the band I lost the passion for it. It's only recently that I've been settled enough to buy a season ticket. When I'm on tour, I always watch United's matches on TV. Football is such a big part of my life. There's a misconception that New Order are all mad about football because we did the World Cup song. We are supporters but we're not rabid. It was great to do 'World In Motion' and meet the 1990 England team. Gazza drank three bottles of champagne in 15 minutes. He didn't even bother with a glass!

I used to see Beckham in all the Manchester clubs. He'd be there with Giggs and Andy Cole, and he always used to chat to me about music. My son never believes me. 'Beckham talking to you, dad? No chance!' I haven't seen him in a while, obviously, but my mate told me that when Fergie kicked the boot that hit him on the head, he [Beckham] came home so pissed-off that he took it out on his bodyguards by sending them out to the garden centre in Alderley Edge, where my mate works, to buy tonnes of gravel to fill all the holes in his drive.

My favourite player is George Best. I got his old job at the Manchester Ship Canal Company. He was there as a junior. The guy in the office said to me on my first day: 'George Best used to sit there. You've got his desk'. Later, we did the theme tune to his television series ( Best and Marsh: The Perfect Match ). I plucked up the courage to meet Best after my girlfriend had been nagging me for ages. I went over and said: 'Hiya George, I'm Peter Hook from New Order, we did the theme to your series.' He said 'I know' and then turned away. It was awful. I'll never do anything like that again. I'll stick to watching my football heroes instead.

'True to Form' by Hybrid and Peter Hook (Distinct'ive Records) is out on 8 Sept.

    Vitamin news...

    Vitamin Records will be releasing a very special tribute to NO/JD next month entitled “The String Quartet To New Order & Joy Division”. The album is due in stores (US) Aug 12, 2003.

    TAKEN FROM http://www.thetributeto.com/NOJD/ (audio clips also available)

    The ethereal yet somber essence of post-punk icons Joy Division and the melodic symmetry of synth-pop legends New Order is beautifully captured in The String Quartet Tribute to New Order and Joy Division. The bittersweet sounds of the violins, viola and cello create the perfect setting for such classics as “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” “Blue Monday,” “She’s Lost Control,” “Bizarre Love Triangle” and more. Performed with an emotionally charged precision that both skews and complements the original compositions, The String Quartet Tribute to New Order and Joy Division is a truly cathartic musical experience.

    Haig, Section 25, the late Marcel King and a host of others", the common

    FAC 1 2003 print will be accompanied by a Peter Saville 'certificate, designed by Peter that will be signed and numbered.

    If you live outside of the EU you will not have to pay VAT





    It’s twenty-five years since Peter Saville designed the now iconic  FAC1, while still in his final term at Art College.  Produced in 1978 for Tony Wilson, to publicise his new music venue, The Factory, FAC1 combined contemporary industrial signage with Jan Tschichold’s
    ‘Die Neue Typographie’. The ‘Use Hearing Protection’ sign was on a workshop door at college. “I saw it everyday, and I knew that it had to be used for something”. Recognised as a classic, the newly editioned FAC1 2003 coincides with ‘The Peter Saville Show’ at the
    Design Museum, and ‘Designed by Peter Saville’, the long awaited monograph.

    This exclusive New Order CD for the show would not have a cover designed by Peter Saville, instead it's designed by Graphic Thought Facility (same design as the invitation at the premiere) .

    More news from London:

    From the Press Release: The world's best bass player, Peter Hook (New Order) has co-produced and collaborated exclusively with Hybrid, on the two killer tracks 'True To Form' and 'Higher than a Skyscraper'. Those two tracks will be release on Hybrid new album 'Morning Sci-Fi'' set to be release in UK through Distinct'ive Records on 21st July 2003. Hybrid release the first single 'True to Form' on 7th July 2003.

    Hooky and Hybrid???: This ingenious step came to fruition from an after hours rant between Hooky and Richard (head honcho of Distinct'ive Records) "None of these bloody dance remixers ever use my bass lines," argued Hook. "I put in all this time and effort and they use Bernard's vocals but they don't bloody use my bass." The following week Hybrid sent over a couple of tracks to Peter Hook, he liked the tracks so much, he rang back and agreed not only to play his "bloody bass' but to co-produce and collaborate on both 'True To Form' and 'Higher than a skyscraper'...the rest is history!

    Peter Hook will make his debut stage appearance with Hybrid at:

    Glastonbury on 29th June, Fabriclive on 15th August and aboard the infamous Distinctt'ive Boat party on 16th August.

    Great news...

    Just got back from London and I have some great news I got to share with you (Check out Part 2 news from my trip tomorrow including Arthur Baker, Upcoming BBC2. radio documentary on New Order, Hybrid and Peter Hook live...)

    Went to Peter Saville premiere on May 22nd. This was such an event, all London tried to get in and many people got refused. I have only one comment, You have to come to London and see this exposition.  This is a real tribute to the man Peter Saville of his amazing work over the years. This is also a tribute to Joy Division, New Order, Electronic, Revenge, The Other Two, Factory etc via many sleeves, posters and artifacts...New Order, in their own way, paid tribute to Peter Saville by recording an ambient piece especially for this exposition that you are able to listen while touring the exhibition.

    You will be able to access three big rooms full of information's and details. I had a chance to speak to Peter Saville and it was very touched and surprised that New Order decided to write a special song for him. He also mentioned the possibility to get his exposition to tour the world ( Germany, France, USA etc....). Nothing is confirm yet but will post it on the site if I get any news. All the items from the shop are supposed to be available while touring ( CD, Book et...).

    While you are at the expo you could stop by at the Design Museum shop:

    New Order's specially recorded soundtrack for The Peter Saville Show will be available on CD from the Design Museum for £10 from 6 June (email shop@designmuseum.org )

    Fac 1 Poster Reproduction limited to 500 copies made by Peter Saville to celebrate his exposition. More items to come soon.

    ‘Designed by Peter Saville’ is the first book of his work. Comprising design for music, fashion, advertising and art, it chronicles his work from 1978 to the present. The book includes a comprehensive interview by Christopher Wilson as well as essays by style guru Peter York, music critics Paul Morley and Miranda Sawyer, and design critics Rick Poynor, Emily King, and Peter Hall.

    Exclusive news...

    As we all know, New Order is very busy lately in preparation for the new album. They are still in a writing stage, about 25 ideas for songs so far. New Order has the intention to enter a recording studio in October. Gillian Gilbert (Keyboard, Guitar) is not involve on this new album due to family commitment (To clarifying many reports She was involved on "Get Ready" album, released August 2001, but was not present to promote it). No producer 100% confirm yet.

    Update from May 16 news: New Order did write a 25 mins ambient song named "Soundtrack" to go along with Peter Saville expo. Anyone will be able to hear it while visiting the expo. Soon after the opening May 23rd (within 2 weeks hopefully) a special CD soundtrack will be available at the exposition only.

    IAN CURTIS 1956 - 1980

     
    Ian Curtis - Gone but not forgotten

    It was 23 years ago today that IAN CURTIS ended his life, aged 23.

    The driving force behind Joy Division's dark vision, he hanged himself in his Macclesfield home as the band rested between a European and American tour. Iggy Pop's 'The Idiot' was found on his turntable alongside a note which read "at this very moment, I wish I were dead. I just can't cope anymore".

    For those who never been to Macclesfield, UK to visit Ian Curtis grave. Some pictures taken by Craig Barcelo with a story behind it:

    "It was a gray overcast day, perfect for the kind of sight seeing we were doing. Also the village of Macclesfield is VERY SMALL, everybody obviously knows each other. The grounds keeper at the crematorium was giving me a hard time. he said something like (in a very thick Scottish brogue) "His parents still come here every now and then and take away all the crap that the fans leave behind". From what I gathered from the director of the place, Ian's grave is a very popular tourist sight for fans all over the world.

    DESIGNED BY PETER SAVILLE

    Peter Saville is perhaps the most influential graphic designer of his generation. Best-known for his seminal record covers for Joy Division and New Order, Saville has also art directed catalogues and advertisements for fashion brands such as Yohji Yamamoto and Dior, and created corporate identities for Givenchy, Mandarina Duck and London’s Whitechapel gallery. More recently he has art directed CDs for Pulp and Suede and the print campaign for Stella McCartney.

    ‘Designed by Peter Saville’ is the first book of his work. Comprising design for music, fashion, advertising and art, it chronicles his work from 1978 to the present. The book includes a comprehensive interview by Christopher Wilson as well as essays by style guru Peter York, music critics Paul Morley and Miranda Sawyer, and design critics Rick Poynor, Emily King, and Peter Hall.

    Saville was recently voted both ‘most admired individual working in the creative industries’ and ‘best graphic designer’ in a peer poll conducted by Creative Review. The intensity and apparent timelessness of his work has ensured his cult status for 25 years.

    ‘If you had to buy one design book in your life, then this is the one.’ – Magma Books

    The publication of ‘Designed by Peter Saville’ will coincide with a solo exhibition at the Design Museum, London from 23 May to 19 September, 2003 www.designmuseum.org

    THE PETER SAVILLE SHOW

    23 May to 14 September 2003

    www.designmuseum.org

    The Design Museum (is to present the first retrospective of the work of Peter Saville, one of the most influential graphic designers and art directors of our time, in The Peter Saville Show, a landmark exhibition drawn from his private archive which will run from 23 May to 14 September 2003.

    Since the late 1970s when he began his long collaboration with Joy Division and New Order as a co-founder of Factory Records, Peter Saville has been a central figure in design and style culture. The New York Times described him as “the default creative director for a style-obsessed generation”. This exhibition will trace Saville’s career from the first Factory poster onwards.

    As well as presenting his most important projects together for the first time, The Peter Saville Show will trace their development from preliminary notes and sketches – such as the graph paper on which he composed the colour code on the Power, Corruption And Lies album cover for New Order – through works-in-progress and discarded concepts to the finished work.

    Born in Manchester in 1955, Peter Saville studied graphic design there and then became art director of Factory. He was given complete freedom to develop the label’s identity and artwork. As well as continuing his work with New Order, Saville has since created equally iconic graphics for other acts including Roxy Music, Suede, Pulp and Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark.

    He is also renowned for his work for fashion labels such as Christian Dior, Yohji Yamamoto, Givenchy and Stella McCartney and art institutions including the Pompidou Centre and the Design Museum. Throughout his career, Peter Saville has combined an unerring visual elegance with a remarkable ability to identify images that epitomise the moment. By exploring his collaborations with artists and musicians, this exhibition – designed by architect Lindy Roy – will chart the history of modern graphic design.

    Supported by VH1.

    Peter Saville’s first book ‘Designed by Peter Saville’ will be published for £19.95 by frieze to coincide with this exhibition.

    Reviews HMV.CO.UK APRIL 2003

    After 12 years of sanctions, a lifetime of oppression and now the effects of war, the crisis for Iraq's 13 million children is on-going. Children in Iraq today face an uncertain future, traumatised by war and demoralised by the slow, dull ache of grinding poverty.

    Iraq's healthcare system is in tatters. Primary school attendance is at an all-time low. Infant mortality is in free-fall. Chronic malnutrition is already affecting every fourth child under five years old. Up to half a million children have died since the first Gulf War ended. And that was before the second Gulf War even began - a conflict, which like all conflicts, will affect children more acutely than anyone.

    This album of exclusive tracks has been recorded against the clock as the war in Iraq is being fought. In just three weeks, some of the greatest names on the British music scene have altered their schedules and crammed into studios across the world to be a part of Hope. Each artist involved, has selected a track, that means something to them at the present time of crisis. You will find hope, love, anger and confusion both in the lyrics and in the music.

    Iraq's real hope is its children. By investing in them you are investing not only in the future of Iraq but in all of our hopes for a peaceful world.

    All proceeds from this album will go to children in Iraq. War Child's CEO, Norman Sheehan is currently conducting a needs assessment in the conflict zone. If there is a food emergency then funds can be diverted there, but the expectation is the USA and Europe will meet much of this need. War Child's key aim is to fund psycho-social programs for children traumatised by war (similar to their pioneering work in Bosnia).

    Mirror peace CD to raise money for Iraqi children

    By Ros Wynne-Jones

    THE Daily Mirror is joining the charity War Child to produce an album of peace songs to raise funds for children in Iraq.

    The record, called Hope, will feature stars including David Bowie, George Michael and New Order.

    Many have written songs specially for it. Others will cover classic peace songs.

    Yusuf Islam - formerly singer-songwriter Cat Stevens - has recorded his first song in English in 30 years.

    Major record label WEA will produce and distribute the album, which will be in the shops next month, without taking a profit.

    War Child will start to spend the money it raises after the first week of sales.

    The charity's James Topham said last night: "The children in Iraq are already deeply traumatised after 12 years of sanctions and the impending conflict will be truly devastating.

    "With a recent survey showing that 40 per cent of children in Iraq are unable to see the point in living, restoring hope to their lives will be one of the important things we can do."

    "War Child have staff on the ground preparing for the inevitable humanitarian disaster and have already put in place plans for helping children rebuild their lives after the war.

    "The money from this record will allow us to begin that work immediately."

    Aid agencies fear more than 10million Iraqis may starve if war goes ahead with more than 60 per cent of the population facing hunger.

    Experts predict at least 500,000 Iraqis will be affected as a direct result of war, with up to 80,000 deaths.

    Charities estimate there will be two million refugees with one million Iraqis displaced inside the country.

    Speaking from the Iraqi border, War Child chief executive Norman Sheehan said he feared the worst.

    "I hope I am very wrong but the more time I spend here, the more I fear we are going to witness an appalling level of suffering.

    "After the 12 years of stress and trauma that the Iraqi children have gone through, you could put 1,000 War Childs into Iraq and still not meet all the needs.

    "Once we are allowed into the country we need to start work as soon as possible.

    "This album will help us work quickly to do what we can to help the children of Iraq."

    The album follows the success of a similar one, called Help!, released by War Child in 1995 to raise money for children in Bosnia.

    It went straight into the charts at No1 after only one day's sales, becoming the fastest recorded studio album as well as the fastest No1 - and raising nearly £2million for humanitarian agencies in the area.

    Mr Topham said: "The response from musicians has been fantastic for this new record.

    "Once again we are delighted to be working closely with the Daily Mirror on such an important project."

    Some interesting comments about Electronic and Barney.
    http://www.undercover.com.au/idol/johnnymarr.html

    The new Johnny Marr and the Healers album Boomslang is out through iMusic / Shock

    From The Smiths, to Electronic, The The to The Pretenders, writing with Beth Orton or working along Kirsty MacColl, Johnny Marr has never been away from the British Music Scene.

    The Smiths are now legendary even though they only had a very short life span. Electronic (with New Order's Bernard Sumner was innovative) and now with Zac Starkey (The Who) and Alonza Bevan (Kula Shaker), Marr is back writing and performing rock.

    Johnny Marr talked to Undercover Media's Paul Cashmere

    PC: And a lot of the songs on the album were written before you put The Healers together.

    JM: I wrote some of them. Some date way back but most of the songs came together around the time The Healers got together. It is an interesting synchronicity. I started to write a certain kind of song at the end of the Electronic album that could only be performed by a group of people playing and standing together at the same time. You couldn't really design it with a computer. At that same time I met Zac (Starkey) and we started to play with musicians but there were a couple of tracks on that last Electronic album that started off as Healers songs really. The songs and the people came together at the same time.

    PC: With the songwriting in The Smiths it was pretty much you are Morrissey equally and then in Electronic with was you and Bernard (Sumner). This time writing yourself did you have a different mindset that went into the creative process?

    JM: Yeah there is. It is more difficult but ultimately more rewarding. I'd like to write a bit more with the band. "Inbetweens' was written with the band musically because it came out of a jam. That was good fun for me. In the past, the first 20 years of my professional life (I don't like using the word 'career', it doesn't suit me). Whatever it is I have been doing for these 20 years has been me writing musical backing tracks and not really knowing how it is going to turn out, particularly when you are working with Bernard Sumner or Kirsty MacColl. In the early days it was Morrissey obviously. That was fine by me. But now I kind of want the vocals and the lyrics to be coming from the same place. I want it all to have the same underlining atmosphere. 'You Are The Magic', 'Bangin' On' and 'Last Ride' wouldn't have come out the way they did had I not written the lyrics. The lyrics are specifically related to the music.

    PC: Electronic is another example of three great albums that fit into their own category and don't cross over with any of the other work.

    JM: Right, yeah. I like to keep moving on. For me, records and groups are very much photo albums of periods of your life. I try my hardest to keep myself interested as a person. Certainly in music, but also in life and learning stuff. Not kind of getting stagnant. Hopefully that is reflected in the music. I can't imagine trading on the same sound that I had when I was 23. When that kind of thing crops up I guess that is what people think I should sound like. I'm cool with that too. It is just like coming back through a town. It is like a journey. I am just lucky that I get to document my journey with concerts and records. I don't know any other life. I have been doing it since I was 14.

    PC: Did Electronic come to a natural conclusion?

    JM: Yeah. It did. I am really proud that we still got a friendship that is really strong as I do with Matt Johnson and Chrissie Hynde and pretty much everyone I've worked with. I think with Electronic we did as much as we were ever going to do. My only regret is that Electronic didn't put out more records. We were together every single day, more than anyone else I have ever been involved with. I think this idea that we were a project and would get together every couple of years and make a project is false. In fact we were together every single day. When we took a break from working and being in the studio and writing these beats and these melodies, we would get on a boat and go sailing together. I have never been closer to anyone than I was with Bernard. I'm glad that we called it a day in a cool way. The last Electronic album had a couple of songs that could have easily been Healers songs. I think it was really right that New Order got back together when they did before it became too late. It is all good.

    PC: Have you seen the movie 24 Hour Party People?

    JM: Yes I have.

    PC: What did you think?

    JM: I was absolutely amazed that it was as good as it was. I was expecting it to be dire. The feeling I got from the movie overall was a message of loyalty and idealism and a sense of the ridiculous. Factory Records was all those things. Thank God somebody was that ridiculous because sometimes that is the only way you get things moving. Obviously it is weird to see some events compressed. There is a scenario where maybe Martin Hannett said a thing to one of the Happy Mondays in a certain place when I knew that thing was said to a member of Joy Division in a completely different place. It doesn't matter because the point was made. I found it quite poignant.

    PC: Where were you when that story took place?

    JM: It was a long time period. In '82 I was putting The Smiths together. I was actually at the Hacienda the night it opened and it wasn't exactly like it was portrayed in the film. There were more people there and it was also very dark. The first ever session I did was with Bernard Sumner for Mike Pickering's band the Quando Quando. I was very involved with Factory. The guy I lived with was one of the DJs. I knew Tony (Wilson) really well. I was around and quite heavily involved. Even to this day a lot of me mates were Factory artists. People like New Order and a couple of the Happy Mondays.

    "Return to New York" - 22 February 03

    Neil and Chris (with programmer Pete Gleadall) made their DJ debut last night at 'Return to New York' at the Great Eastern Hotel in London.

    Playing a set of contemporary and vintage electro music, they also gave the first spins of three new records they have recently made: 'Walking on thin ice' (PSB Electro mix) by Yoko Ono, 'Love to love you, baby' (Kiki Kokova)
    and 'Hooked on radiation' (PSB Orange Alert mix) by Atomizer.

    Neil and Chris began their set with the song 'We're the Pet Shop Boys' by the American electronic singer/songwriter, My Robot Friend.

    Pet Shop Boys were followed last night by New Order's Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook. No further DJ dates are planned by Neil and Chris but a good time was had by all. (Chris's new long, blond hair surprising many.)"

    Superb night, lots of bad mixing (!), Barney in glasses and wolf whistling, dissing Arsenal/southerners/etc.

    To Celebrate The Birthday Of Our Favorite Bass Player, Peter Hook "Hooky" Today:

    EXCLUSIVE PETER HOOK INTERVIEW

    This is an exclusivity just for you, I faxed some questions to Hooky and there it is for your own pleasure answered January 22, 2003.

    Thanks to J. Scott for helping me on the questions.

    Thanks to A. Robinson and Peter Hook for their time.

    Q: What are you up to today ? BTW congratulation on your Musos Award, look like you had a great time at the ceremony.

    Today we are writing. It's very odd, but things are going well, looks like we've finally sussed how to do it at last.

    The award was nice, about time to. Mani phoned me up to ask how I'd fixed it. Cheeky bastard! We had a laugh. I didn't like the way they were being irreverant  about it, the presenters that is. I was over the moon to get it, and they were taking the piss. Anyway I told Johnny Vegas to shut it or words to that effect, and he was so shocked he went back stage, drank half a bottle of whisky in one go, came back and promptly spewed all over the podium. That's what I call humour. Beat that monkey.

    Q: Hooky, Can you keep me up to date on what we shall expect from New Order next??? Any live date anytime soon?

    Well we are doing our next LP when it's ready it'll be ready. I can't see us gigging soon. It would be nice, wouldn't I just love it. But always say you never know.

    Q: Well the big talk lately on my message board are the boxset "Retro" and DVD "Finsbury Park". Can I get some feedback on those release?

    Retro was to finish off Rob's idea for a boxset. The end result was completely different to the initial idea. But that's how it had to be. I preferred the original concept myself. But I must admit I liked the finished product. I thought Miranda, John, Bobby, and Mike did a great job, so did Andy Robinson and Ken Niblock.

    Finsbury Park was a great gig, sound and atmosphere. So I was happy to see it go out. The edits were a bit fast for me, I must be gatting old. I prefer the bonus stuff Andy did.

    Q: The last time we spoke to you, the band were preparing for their first major release in several years. How do you feel personally about the varied success of the singles and of course the album "Get Ready"?

    Varied success..what are you on about? I think we did really well single wise. Come on we aren't Blue are we? The album was great and even though I was nervous at first I was very happy with it's success and I think the next one will be even better.

    Q: For many of the fans reading this, you are the main attraction within New Order. Are you comfortable with this role? In the early 80's you often appeared aloof, on occasions performing with your back to the audience. Now you are very much centre stage & appear on the surface at least to relish the adoration of the crowd. What is it really like looking out over the fans and feeling the adoration of these complete strangers?

    You are full of compliments David aren't you! I'm just happy doing what I do. My only wish is to do more of it. I'd love to play, anywhere, anytime, suggestions great fully received. In the 80s I was nervous and unsure, I'm not anymore. It was considered as aloofness. I remember Rob Gretton saying to Barney and me keep your mouth shut and everyone will think you've got something to say! I'm just a show off I suppose, but it's the musics fault, honest guv. It makes me feel like running around, showing off, pushing me guitar into complete strangers faces, fighting with them, then drinking like a viking, gatting twatted like a dickhead then waking up and saying never again. Then getting on a bus full of people saying never again and setting off to somewhere else to do it all again. I must be simple.

    Q: At the time of writing, "24 Hour Party People" was just about to go on general release. Are you happy with the portrayal of yourself and the history of the Factory years in general? Is the film itself fairly accurate in terms of the personalities and the events portrayed?

    24 hours was OK. I'm abit fed up with it really. The soundtrack CD was great, that's all that really matters. When I heard Tony and Peter Saville were doing a commentary for it I tried to track down Alan Erasmus to send him along, but I couldn't find him, never mind. That would have been quite interesting. Oh by the way if anyone knows where Tunnelvision from Blackpool are I've found your master tape, please get in touch. So back to the film. It isn't accurate, but it is entertaining, so there. I had a row with Tony a while back, because he has done his book to mirror the film eg wrong. When I asked him why he said Hooky you must realise the myth is greater than the reality I told him to f!!! off of course but then again Tony's myth was always greater than his reality as Trotsky once said.

    Q: What did you think of Kylie performing her mix of "Can't Get you Out Of My Head" & "Blue Monday" at the Brits this year?

    I thought Kylie was great. I didn't know about it and got the shock of my life when I saw it. Nicely though. My mate Twinney rang me and said "have you heard that bird on the telly, she's ripping you off big style" ha ha I liked that. No but it is a great complement and we are thinking of doing a new backing track to regret crossed with I should be so lucky to pay her back.

    Q: Will Phil C. continue to perform as part of New Orders' live set up? Will he join the band on the new album???

    Phil is helping us when we can drag him out of LA. We'll have to wait and see what happens, but his comb and tissue solos have to be seen and heard to be believed.

    Q: When my friend Jonathan spoke with him some months ago immediately after one of the Manchester gigs, he seemed almost overwhelmed by the experience of playing with the band. Do you think that his inclusion on the tour breathed a new life into New Order? You appear to have a very good on-stage relationship with him. Is it a lot of fun having some young blood in the band to play along with?

    Yea I like him. He reminds me of me when I was younger, and he's dead greatful to us for dragging him out of the gutter so he can play with a real band. Not a band like that Marillion, cause there was always something dead fishy about them.

    Q: Many concern about Gillian and Steve's baby, is the baby better or still very ill?? Naturally we all miss Gillian, any update one when she may join the band live again. Will she be present on the next album???

    That's a private family matter so f!!! off David.

    Q: Your relationship with the Chemical Brothers, a band who happily and quite regularly speak of New Order in the highest terms seems stronger than ever. How did this first come about and do you see any further collaboration with them?

    We've no plans for any collaborations as yet. But Bernard and I are DJing Arthur Bakers birthday party in London, Feb 22 at the Great Eastern Hotel. New Order vs The Pet Shop Boys. We're going to kill them unless they hit us with their handbags, Seriously though I thought the new mix of Confusion was great and the video too. We all looked so young but who was that funny looking boy scout in the shorts. A straggler from A Certain Ratio?

    Q: The internet has provided the perfect platform for fans of many bands throughout the world & there are many sites devoted to New Order & Joy Division. Do you ever look at these pages & what if any is your opinion in general of such sites?

    I do look at the internet occasionally most of the sites seem good especially yours David!!! Heather and Jack keep me informed of anything interesting. We do appreciate the fans interest and it's easy to keep them informed. Maybe I could do a monthly diary or something for them with a problem page, and could share interesting gossip with them. Funnily enough the first one I have a wonderful story about Jayne Houghton and Arthur Baker.

    Q: Further to that question, what do you think of the availability of bootleg tracks, several of which remain unreleased or those made available long before their scheduled release dates? I'm thinking in particular of the virtual frenzy created over the "Crystal" & "60 MPH" mp3 files that were floating around the net some 9 months before their eventual release?

    Bootlegs are OK. I don't mind them. I almost got caught doing one myself. Killing Joke live on one side and Bauhaus with Nico on he other.

    Anarchy rules,

    Peace and love,

    Hooky

    Check it out....Very good interview plus a great contest

    http://www.playlouder.com/feature/1188neworder/

    New Order might be widely regarded as one of the most innovative British pop groups of the last two decades, but they still have no idea what the secret of their success is. Holed up in drummer Stephen Morris's Macclesfield studio, they crack jokes about their ex-label mates, reminisce about their back catalogue and speculate about their future. For the record, Hooky would like to move to Ibiza whilst Bernard and Stephen can't imagine ever leaving Manchester. Determined to find out what's kept them together for seven albums, twenty-something singles and a World Cup anthem, PLAYLOUDER grilled them about everything from Smashing Pumpkins to Joy Division.

    You've just released a brilliant box-set containing four CDs of singles, B-sides, rarities, remixes and live performances. Any personal highlights?

    HOOKY: I think the best thing about Retro is it sounds like a set of car-tapes made by a mate. You wouldn't have chosen the same songs or put them in the same order, but they actually work really well. My favourite is the bonus disc that comes with the first three thousand box-sets because it's just a really weird collection of tracks.

    BERNARD: Listening to Retro is a bit like watching 24 Hour Party People - it's hard to get a perspective because we've played those songs so many times. I don't mind listening to the early songs, but the quality of some of the live recordings really bug me. They're so tinny and metallic.

    STEPHEN: I don't play box-sets, I just read the booklets. As a retrospective of our career however, I think it's a pretty good selection of songs.

    Have you composed any new material since 2001's Get Ready?

    BERNARD: We've just started work on the next album and it's going quite well. The first week's always a bit tricky but we seem to have got into the flow now.

    HOOKY: I think it's easier than before: everyone seems very laid-back and relaxed. In the past that would have meant we haven't got a clue what we're gonna do, but we've been working really hard the last three weeks and we've got a few good ideas up and running. We haven't confirmed it yet, but we're hoping to work with Steve Osbourne again. He's a good producer and he understands where we're coming from.

    BERNARD: The last album was very, very layered, so it'd be nice to do a more dense and empty sounding one this time.

    How did you come to hook up with Billy Corgan on Get Ready?

    HOOKY: Billy's been an old friend of mine for years. The first time I met him he was fifteen and thinking of starting a band. A few years later, a friend dragged me to see a new band called Smashing Pumpkins at International 2 in Manchester. I had no idea it was Billy's band until I saw him at the front of the stage and I was totally blown away. We've socialized on and off since then and when it came to recording Get Ready, Bernard told me "I keep hearing Billy Corgan on this track, how could we get in touch with him?" I patted him on the back and said "I'll just get my address book and phone him". Being an old New Order fan, he was over the moon to play with his heroes.

    He's been vilified as a misanthropic control freak by the NME. What was he like in the studio?

    HOOKY: I know he's supposed to be hell to work with because Flood told us he nearly gave up producing after Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness, but we never saw that side of him. He was just very focused and conscientious.

    BERNARD: We don't invite many people to collaborate with us, but I'd definitely like to play with Billy again. I think he has a really distinctive voice and a great way with melodies. He's also pretty upfront about his hang-ups; he once told me he's so analytical he sometimes sits and analyses how analytical he is.

    HOOKY: I can believe that. I'd like to work with him again too, but if Sharon Osbourne can't handle him no-one fucking can!

    Speaking of global celebrities, what was it like touring with Eminem's public enemy (Moby) last summer?

    BERNARD: It was good fun. Stephen and I had a great time, but Hooky caught a horrible fever and spent the entire tour feeling violently ill.

    HOOKY: I lost two and a half stone in three days and just wanted to be at home tucked up in bed. Moby was very understanding, but the shows weren't up to our usual standard. In fact, we bombed most nights. His audience were very young and to tell you the truth, I don't think many of them even knew who we were. They were all there to see Outkast or Baldy!

    BERNARD: The last concert in LA was the best because we got John Frusciante from Red Hot Chilli Peppers to come on stage with us and perform "New Dawn Fades". Unfortunately, Moby didn't play it until the end of the set and we got completely twatted whilst we were waiting. Did we get up to any mischief backstage? I've heard Moby's very frisky in the old trouser department but we didn't witness anything untowards.

    Both Moby and Billy Corgan have been huge Joy Division fans since they were kids. How do you feel about the volume of artists that have cited Closer or Unknown Pleasures as their biggest influence?

    BERNARD: It's not something we've ever thought about. I suppose it's flattering that people still mention those records, but to be honest we never really discuss our music or the impact it has on other people... That's the strange thing about New Order / Joy Division - we've been together over twenty-five years but we've never sat down and actually talked about our music or what direction we want it to go in. We just go in the studio and play.

    Finally, what did you think of 24 Hour Party People?

    STEPHEN: It's hard to say because I never thought anyone would make a film about a part of my life. I did find certain scenes entertaining, but I also sat there thinking "that never happened" and "why didn't they include such and such?" It was a strange experience.

    HOOKY: The whole film was really strange and surreal. I think we enjoyed it as much as we could do considering the themes involved. There was a lot of artistic license used, but to be honest the whole Factory and Hacienda thing is still so close to us it's hard to be objective.

    BERNARD: The bits about the Mondays and Tony Wilson made me laugh and it was good to see the story of the Hacienda being told in a way. I just wish the team behind it had spoken to us more beforehand... I'd like to see the full, unabridged version one day.

    HOOKY: I think the one thing Michael Winterbottom fucked up was the final scene. It should have been Tony Wilson dressed up as Jesus not Steve Coogan. That would have been the perfect ending and the perfect cameo for Tony.

    Words: SARAH-JANE

    New Order's next album should be out late 2003. Retro is out now on WEA / London.

    Check out Fergie's show from last Friday night on BBC Radio One at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/dance/fergie/tracklistings.shtml?focuswin.  It features a Lee Coombs DJ set where he spins a new remix of Crystal. It is similar to his main remix, but it adds some more parts, including a more prominent Hooky bass. It segues quite well into his remix of Paul Oakenfold's Time Of Your Life. Hurry.

    CNN has an article (http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/Music/01/14/odd.elvis.reut/index.html)about Q's latest top 10: Top 10 World Changing Songs. Blue Monday is #9.
     

    LONDON, England (Reuters) -- An Elvis Presley cover version of an obscure blues track has been voted the song which did most to change the world.

    "That's All Right" was recorded by Elvis as a teenager in 1954 during a jam session in Memphis. The track launched the King's career and is regarded by many as marking the start of rock 'n' roll.

    A panel of music journalists, commissioned by Britain's Q Magazine, put "That's All Right" top of a list of "100 ground-breaking, world-altering songs that changed music and the world forever."

    It beat dozens of better known tracks, including The Beatles' "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" and "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys.

    "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," the song which launched The Beatles in the United States, came second, while the Sex Pistols' provocative punk anthem "God Save the Queen" was third.

    The results of the poll raised a few eyebrows.

    " 'That's All Right' is a wonderful track and we all hail it for starting Elvis's recording career, but it didn't change anything," veteran music journalist Paul Gambaccini told BBC TV. Among Gambaccini's books is a volume on the top 200 albums of all time.

    Grunge gurus Nirvana were fifth with "Smells like Teen Spirit" while British band New Order came in ninth with their celebrated dance track "Blue Monday" -- the biggest-selling 12-inch single of all time.

    Q MAGAZINE'S TOP 10
    1. That's All Right (Elvis Presley)
     2. I Wanna Hold Your Hand (The Beatles)
     3. God Save the Queen (The Sex Pistols)
     4. Rapper's Delight (Sugarhill Gang)
     5. Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana)
     6. Strange Fruit (Billie Holiday)
     7. Like a Rolling Stone (Bob Dylan)

    Designer Peter Saville spent the early part of his career designing record sleeves for the Factory label and has produced sleeves for the likes of Joy Divison, New Order and also OMD - including the classic sleeves for Electricity, OMITD and Architecture And Morality. Designed By Peter Saville is a new book that collects his work and covers design in a variety of fields including music, fashion, advertising and art. The book also features a series of essays on Peter Saville's work by, amongst others, Peter York, Paul Morley and Miranda Sawyer.

    c.250 illustrations

    Peter Saville is perhaps the most influential graphic designer of his generation. Best-known for his seminal record covers for Joy Division and New Order, Saville has also art directed catalogues and advertisements for fashion brands such as Yohji Yamamoto and Dior, and created corporate identities for Givenchy, Mandarina Duck and London's Whitechapel gallery. More recently he has designed CDs for Pulp and Suede, and art directed the print campaign for Stella McCartney.

    'Designed by Peter Saville' is the first book of his work. Comprising design for music, fashion, advertising and art, it chronicles his design from 1978 to the present. The book includes a comprehensive interview by Christopher Wilson as well as essays by style writer Peter York, music critics Paul Morley and Miranda Sawyer, and design critics Rick Poynor, Emily King, and Peter Hall.

    Saville was recently voted both 'most admired individual working in the creative industries' and 'best graphic designer' in a peer pool conducted by Creative Review. The intensity and apparent timelessness of his work has ensured his cult status for 25 years.




    Quotations from the book:

    The selection of images shown in this book are the greatest hits of a career that is composed of almost nothing but. While the Joy Division and New Order album sleeves are the best-known of his early work, these are fleshed out by an improbably large proportion of that era's memorable record sleeves. For anyone born in the mid- to late-sixties, looking through the work is an unerringly nostalgic experience.
    - Emily King

    There's a certain sadness in what Saville does that gives gravitas. He removes things to try and discover what its core values are, and he does that in a very beautiful way. Although he is the best as what he does, he doesn't think that's enough.
    -Nick Knight


    Like the proverbial tropical butterfly that flaps its wings, setting off a tornado in another part of the world, Saville's period of intense activity for Yohji Yamamoto brought about a mini tempest in the world of fashion communication. It introduced a much-aped photographic lexicon and acquainted the fashion world with the benefits of a refined level of graphic design.
    - Peter Hall

    Peter Saville, for a time, was a genius, which is not to say he isn't one now, just that you only really notice that he was a genius because of the way his twenty year-old work does not look twenty years old, but somehow a hundred years old and/or a day old and yet something out of now or of tomorrow.
    - Paul Morley

    Saville's method, then as now, lies in fixing on a style or look slightly ahead of popular taste. He achieves the sort of ambiguity and complexity of resonance more usually associated with art. His idealism imbues the best of his record sleeve designs with something truly special in the ephemeral worlds of pop music and packaging: the power to last.
    Rick Poynor



    What Saville did was to make the ordinary (record sleeves, posters) gorgeous; he believed we should have the best. And since he did it within the surrounds of pop music, everyone's first introduction to art and the one we're most obsessive about, he hit us early and in the heart.
    - Miranda Sawyer

    Peter Saville has always been designed by Peter Saville.
    -Paul Morley
