deceptively simple.......2003-02-05

Having started listening to New Order back in 1993 (with Blue Monday) and since then I've engaged in a long-term, close contemplation of their recordings, I was initially disappointed by their newest (and last?) single "Here to Stay." It seemed to lack luster and the edge that makes New Order the band and recording artists that they are. I'm always happier with the recordings New Order produce themselves (for instance, the Stephen Hague recordings contain some brilliant songs, but can be a little homogenized sounding), so I was immediately wary of the Chemical Brothers collaboration. That said, New Order are still incredible songsmiths, and the song has grown on me. The instrumental version presented here reveals the depth of the musical material in a way that the radio edit and even the full length vocal version might obscure. The guitar work in "Here to Stay" can end up sounding "canned," like, here's a little New Order trademark sound so you don't think this is an Electronic song. Some of the synth work is also deceptively simple and even kitschy in its pop sound -- deliberately so. But why sacrifice the opportunity to make more of statement at the level of the sound, for which New Order have been so innovative?

Nostalgia at its best.......2002-12-29

This song is what New Order is all about, a post-modern dance track with aloof lyrics. Produced by the Chemical Brother and New Order, it has an 80's feel to it. The words get suck in your head "Like a bright light on the horizon, shining so bright he'll get you flying, he'll get you flying, flying, flying, flying". Bernard Sumner still sounds like a 16-year-old boy and it gives you that feeling of nostalgia. The versions on here are great, the Felix-the-Cat version is sweet, it features a line form the original version song that was never released, "Set you free". And it is in this remix. The song Player in the League is also worth the price of the CD. I still don't understand why these songs, Sabotage (is also a b-side from 60 Miles Per Hour) and Player in the League never surface on an album. These songs are better than some of the ones on the Get Ready album. But without these b-sides, we wouldn't have these neat-o imports.

Bottom line great tune, fair price, if you are a New Order fan you do the math.

This Australian import-single is well worth money...all versions are included here... (instead of the London records 2-disc-set with the same songs EXCLUDING the extended instrumental!!!). This is a fine song which will grow and grow on you. It's gonna be placed in the classic New Order songs such as Blue Monday, BLT, Touched, Fine time and Regret... Very good dance/rock song... New Order at their best again.

Beware all you bottom feeders and river rats. HERE TO STAY is coming to a dancefloor near you soon. Touch the five fingers of ecstasy - radio edit, original, Felix the Housecat glitz mix, scumfrog dub, and instrumental. Nary a bleeder in the bunch. Add in almost-album cut PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE and you get a hint that New Order may have had one the best albums of all time up their sleeves with the recent GET READY. HERE TO STAY was held back to be the lead cut for the upcoming 24 Hour Party People movie soundtrack. With able assistance from the Chemical Brothers on the production end, "Bloke blocking beats" takes on new meaning. Simultaneously classic and contemporary, the little electronic nibbling lead you right in. Blasting guitar and bass winds, we've arrived. New Order amazingly crests the tip of yet another musical front. Silly feet and smiles don't fail me now.
