Sync. Neworder
After the loss of Ian Curtis, the remaining members of Joy Division,
Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, and Stephen Morris,
resumed their activities as New Order, and released their debut album
"Movement" in 1981. In 1982, Gillian Gilbert, Morris' girlfriend at the time,
joined the band. Later on, the band released many great albums,
including "Power, Corruption & Lies" (1983), "Low-Life" (1985),
"Brotherhood" (1986), and "Technique" (1989),
and grew into one of the most important bands of the 80s.
The cover of "Power, Corruption & Lies" features the painting "A Basket of Roses"
by French artist Henri Fantin-Latour. According to Peter Saville,
who designed the album, "the flowers suggested the means by which power,
corruption and lies infiltrate our lives. They're seductive."
The album cover, [Technique], is based on a statue of an angel that
used to sit in a garden that Peter found in an antique store on Pimlico Road in
Central London. Peter Saville, who designed the album cover once said,
"It’s a very bacchanalian image, which fitted the moment just before
the last financial crash and the new drug-fuelled hedonism involved in
the music scene. "
