There has never been and there never will be a better dance track than this. Never mind all the re-releases and remixes of dubious quality, this was the pure, the original, put out in a sleeve which looked like one of those old floppy disks very cool for its day. According to Factory Music lore, the cost of the sleeve was so expensive that every time a single was old, Factory lost money on it. (For those who dont know what the sleeve is, it is a mock floppy disk of the type which went out of fashion in the mid nineties). Though it marked the start of New Order's shift from a post punk outfit to an electronic dance one, this was the highlight, of both phases of that career, if truth be told. This is so damn good it is probably illegal and listening to it likely to be a criminal offence and possession attracting a heavy sentence.
Rating: 9/10
