Their band, Joy Division, was about to release what would be a best-selling single (\u201cLove Will Tear Us Apart\u201d) and a critically acclaimed album (Closer). But by morning, it was all over. Chris Bohm reflected in NME a year later, \u201cIan Curtis&#8217;s death on May 18, 1980 didn&#8217;t so much bring Joy Division&#8217;s journey to the heart of darkness to an abrupt halt, as freeze it for all eternity at the brink of discovery.\u201d While still mourning the loss of a bandmate and friend, Sumner, Hook and Morris were left to decide what to do next. Rather than replace Curtis and carry on, the trio decided to create something new. Renamed as New Order, with Sumner on vocals and a new member, Gillian Gilbert, on keyboard and guitar, they embarked upon a separate journey, one that managed to retain the inspirations and their history, while creating something distinct and new.<\/p>\n<p>On March 7, 1983, New Order released the single \u201cBlue Monday.\u201d In addition to its massive commercial success, charting in the top 10 in several different countries, the single established New Order\u2019s reimagined voice, distinct from the raw emotions and haunting melodies of Joy Division, and launching the world of dance music into a whole new era. As John Bush declared: \u201c\u2018Blue Monday\u2019 cemented New Order&#8217;s transition from post-punk to alternative dance with vivid sequencers and a set of distant, chilling lyrics by Bernard Sumner\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48788 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order2.jpg\" alt=\"new order2\" width=\"460\" height=\"355\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order2.jpg 460w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order2-20x15.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order2-385x297.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At first, in the time between Curtis\u2019 death, and \u201cBlue Monday\u201d, New Order struggled to find their identity as a band. Their first single\u201d (\u201cCeremony\u201d with \u201cIn a Lonely Place\u201d) were tracks they had written with Curtis before his passing, and their first album (Movement, 1981) followed in the same vein of dark, haunting ytacks, as their work in Joy Division. What \u201cBlue Monday\u201d offered, instead, was a startling break away from that emotionality and into the mechanized sound of drum machines and synthesizers. As Sumner reflected in 2015: \u201cI think \u2018Love Will Tear Us Apart\u2019 connects with people because of the emotional content within the song, and I think \u2018Blue Monday\u2019 connects with people because of the startling lack of emotional content within the song. It\u2019s kind of contradictory, really.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the sonic shift seemed to be a drastic change, there are several lines of influence that can be drawn between the track and the band\u2019s earlier work. The impact of a band like Kraftwerk on New Order should come as no surprise; however, it was actually Ian Curtis who introduced the electronic music pioneers to his bandmates. As Hook explained:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy earliest memory of Kraftwerk was being given an LP by Ian Curtis. He gave me \u2018Autobahn\u2019 and then later \u2018Trans Europe Express\u2019. I was absolutely mesmerised by both. Ian suggested that every time Joy Division go on stage, we should do so to \u2018Trans Europe Express\u2019. We did that from our first show, until nearly our last [&#8230;] Joy Division were very tied to Kraftwerk, but it wasn\u2019t until we got to New Order and were able to afford the toys that our primary source of inspiration became, \u2018Let\u2019s rip off Kraftwerk\u2019. Their music was beguilingly simple, but impossible to replicate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48790 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order-blue-monday.jpg\" alt=\"new order blue monday\" width=\"1004\" height=\"1004\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order-blue-monday.jpg 1004w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order-blue-monday-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order-blue-monday-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order-blue-monday-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order-blue-monday-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order-blue-monday-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order-blue-monday-770x770.jpg 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order-blue-monday-606x606.jpg 606w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order-blue-monday-20x20.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order-blue-monday-385x385.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1004px) 100vw, 1004px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Other influences on the song include the pulsating bass line of Donna Summer\u2019s \u201cOur Love\u201d and the rhythm of \u201cDirty Talk\u201d by Klein &amp; M.B.O.. Hook\u2019s bassline even pulls its melody from the legendary Italian film composer Ennio Morricone and his soundtrack to the Clint Eastwood movie, \u201cFor a Few Dollars More\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bringing all of these influences together was the band\u2019s comfort with the recording studio and production technology, which they had picked up during their time working on their first album. Some of the track\u2019s brilliance comes from carefully calculated creative choices, while others were a little more unexpected. The timing of the synthesizer, for example, came out of a mistake that Gilbert had made when programming the part. She explained:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe synthesizer melody is slightly out of sync with the rhythm, [&#8230;] This was an accident. It was my job to program the entire song from beginning to end, which had to be done manually, by inputting every note. I had the sequence all written down on loads of A4 paper Sellotaped together the length of the recording studio, like a huge knitting pattern. But I accidentally left a note out, which skewed the melody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48789 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order1.jpg\" alt=\"new order1\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order1.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order1-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order1-1076x606.jpg 1076w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order1-20x11.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/new-order1-385x217.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As Gilbert points out, this was a time of manual programming and emerging technology. Sumner also reflected on this exciting time, saying: I remember just being turned on by the latest technology that was becoming available. It was pre-computers, pre-MIDI, and I\u2019d built this sequencer from an electronics kit. We programmed everything in step-time using binary code digital readouts. It was\u2026 complicated. [&#8230;] Rob [Gretton, New Order manager] thought it was witchcraft. He really did! That sounds weird now in the age of the internet, but he really thought it worked by magic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the \u201cmagic\u201d of the song\u2019s cutting edge production, its release has also become a source of what sounds like legend. Despite its massive popularity and success, the label actually lost money on the single at first. This was due to the cost of production for the album sleeve. Hook told NME in 2015: \u201c&#8230;it\u2019s absolutely true. Factory sold it for \u00a31, and it cost \u00a31.10 to make because of the sleeve \u2013 which had to have three die-cuts, all individually \u2013 the cost price to make it actually cost more than that. [&#8230;] Tony ended up having those wonderful brass awards cut for us to celebrate 500,000 sales, when what we were actually celebrating was a loss of \u00a350,000. [&#8230;] They did rectify it later by having a normal sleeve, but that only came after a massive amount of copies had been sold.\u201d The track has since gone on to become the best selling 12\u201d record of all time.<\/p>\n<p>Through exploration and discovery, the members of New Order pieced together a new and innovative sound, bringing together diverse influences and charting their way into a new territory of electronic dance music. BBC Radio 2 called the track \u201ca crucial link between Seventies disco and the Dance\/House boom that took off at the end of the Eighties.\u201d Charting this historic shift in dance genres across the eighties, \u201cBlue Monday\u201d has left behind a legacy of influence and inspiration. Producer Roger Lyons recalls \u201c\u2018Blue Monday&#8217; turned my world upside down when I first heard it&#8230;I was about 17 at the time and I thought it was the best thing I&#8217;d ever heard.\u201d Almost 40 years later, the single has proven itself to be one of the most influential dance music tracks of its time, and the song marks a defining moment in establishing New Order\u2019s unique identity and sound.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGSXl6azFHd3d1N2MlMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvdyUzRCUyMmFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXIlM0IlMjBhdXRvcGxheSUzQiUyMGNsaXBib2FyZC13cml0ZSUzQiUyMGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYSUzQiUyMGd5cm9zY29wZSUzQiUyMHBpY3R1cmUtaW4tcGljdHVyZSUyMiUyMGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Written by Caitlin Vaughn Carlos On May 17, 1980, Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook and Stephen Morris all stood, on the eve of their first American tour, poised on the edge of international success.
