Blue Monday Complete 1922 Vocal Score

Rising from the ashes of the legendary British post-punk unit Joy Division, New Order triumphed over tragedy to emerge as one of the most acclaimed bands of the 1980s; embracing the electronic textures and disco rhythms of the underground club culture many years in advance of its contemporaries, the group's pioneering fusion of new wave aesthetics and dance music successfully bridged the gap between the two worlds, creating a distinctively thoughtful and oblique brand of synth pop appealing equally to the mind, body, and soul.

On Charles Lloyd & the Marvels 2016 debut, I Long to See You, the ensemble – the saxophonist's rhythm section, drummer Eric Harland and bassist Reuben Rogers, and guitarists Bill Frisell and Greg Leisz – delivered an honorable but overly deferential outing that somewhat belied the promise of its personnel. On Vanished Gardens, the Marvels leave deference in the dustbin. Here, with the assistance of Lucinda Williams, they create a music that draws on the sum total of experience and shared emotion.

New Order scored a hit all over again in the spring of 1988 with a remix of its 1983 song "Blue Monday," which became a U.K. Top Ten hit for the second time and made the U.S. singles chart, helping sales of the compilation Substance, which went on to become New Order's first gold and platinum success in America. "Production supervisor on remix" was Quincy Jones, the head of New Order's U.S. label, Qwest. This maxi-single contained both the remix and a dub version, along witb remix and dub versions of New Order's 1987 U.K. single "Touched by the Hand of God," for a running time of nearly 28 minutes.

The year 1987 suddenly writes the urgently needed history all by itself. And the Blue Monday Blues Band has remained true to this history for over 30 years now. Anyone who compares the old pictures of the combo with the current press photos will see the external change from hippie-esque attire to father's clean linen suit, from pubs and sunglasses to patent leather shoes and the gallows tie. However, the recipe remains the same: dance and jump on the west coast of Austria, to a form of blues that knows its origins but never forgets the funny confusion of home.
