Album Description
Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of this 1981 album from the Manchester quartet, one of the most successful and consistent bands of the '80s and beyond. After the suicide of vocalist, Ian Curtis, the three surviving members of Joy Division regrouped under the band name New Order, adding Gillian Gilbert on keyboards. The rest, as they say, is history. Disc One in this package contains the original album in its digitally remastered glory. Disc Two is filled with 10 non-album singles, B-sides and remixes. This is as great as it gets! Rhino UK. 2008.

The MUSIC on these New Order reissues get a 5/5, easily. However, there were far too many egregious mistakes made in the creation of the discs themselves to give them a pass. Only the first discs were re-mastered though they still have some problems, it is the bonus discs that are an absolute mess.

Warner Music/Rhino know about these problems, but there is yet no word on any forthcoming fixes. So I'd hold off until these issues are addressed.

Noted below are the specific problems with the Movement reissue:

1. Dreams Never End
2. Truth
3. Senses
4. Chosen Time
5. I.C.B
6. The Him - Glitch at 5:25-5:26
7. Doubts Even Here
8. Denial

- bonus disc:
1. Ceremony
2. Temptation (click at 3:47)
3. In A Lonely Place (levels are maxed out which has caused clipping)
4. Everything's Gone Green
5. Procession
6. Cries & Whispers (mislabeled as "Mesh") (glitches at 0:06, 0:07, 0:08, 0:28, 0:34, and 0:45)
7. Hurt - (Glitches at 0:00, 0:37, 1:05[right channel pop], 1:07, 3:04, 3:48, 4:06, 6:19, 6:24, 7:07, 7:26, 7:59)
8. Mesh (mislabeled as "Cries & Whispers") - Evidence of scratched vinyl at 0:28, 0:30, 0:35, 0:37, 1:05, 1:07, 1:09, 1:12, 1:14, 1:19, 1:21, 1:40, 1:41, 2:08, 2:09, 2:17, 2:18, 2:19, 2:24, 2:26, 2:28, 2:33, 2:35. In addition, digital glitches at: 0:07, 0:20, 0:44, 0:58, 1:00, 1:25, 1:33, 1:37, 1:44, 1:47, 1:49, 1:56, 1:58, 2:12, 2:22, 2:37, 2:40, 2:49, 2:54, 2:56. Sudden convergence to mono at 1:35.
9. Ceremony (Alt. Version) -L/R channels swapped
10. Temptation - Left channel crackle at 0:24

Rekindling Great Memories Through Great Music December 1, 2008
This is a very nice two-disc set, and to my ears the songs sound as great as they ever did, if not better.

In "Movement" New Order channels the spirit of the Joy Division days at times, but this music represents a transition into new things. While the listener can almost hear the late Ian Curtis in places in "Movement", the extra tracks on the second disc, when taken as a whole, are something of a musical departure from the Joy Division sound. At this point the band was moving from the darkness of Joy Division into a more exuberant, beat-oriented sound, still embracing some of their recent past but also showing movement toward a new day.

This represents primitive, emotive, ambient dance music at its finest. What may sound minimalist at first listen becomes the kind of dense, layered, deep stuff that I can't resist moving to. "Movement", indeed! This music makes me want to get up and move as much as it did over 25 years ago.

If you haven't listened to New Order for quite a while, as I hadn't, this is a wonderful way to get back into their sound. Joy Division was a fine band, but so is New Order, as "Movement" clearly demonstrates.

Here's to the Factory label, and here's to Warner/Rhino for giving us all such a great treat!

Power Corrupted and Lousy December 1, 2008
Just a note to Warners: And a Warning about source material for fans. I didn't know there were so many issues with these "Collectors Series"
Didn't Substance 1987 have better sources for some of the bonus material, or if you are lucky to have FACTUS 8 Everythings Gone Green CD. I guess New Order didn't rate very high with Warner to have better source material. I don't recall there being issues with Joy Divisions similar series.
And BTW don't pay over $20 if you do buy them. The imports aren't any different. I am a disappointed fan. SHAME

Second disc makes it! December 1, 2008
This album is a transitional one. Shortly after Joy Division as the band moves into New Order. While the album 'Movement' has some rough spots, what really makes this particular 2 disc set stand out is the addition of singles and b sides.
There's a version of 'Ceremony' that I've never heard anywhere else along with many other early New Order songs 'Everything's Gone Green', two versions of 'Temptation', 'In a Lonely Place' and more.
This is probably not a cd for fans of the late 80s version of New Order. But, if you're a fan of their early darker work or just love them in all their stages this is a must-have.
