New Order-Substance (1987)

When Ian Curtis, the frontman of Joy Division, committed suicide in 1980, the remaining members of the band decided to continue with the project. However, they would do so under the new name of New Order, for which Peter Hook, Stephen Morris, and Bernard Sumner recruited keyboardist and guitarist Gillian Gilbert. With their debut album, "Movement", New Order followed a similar path to their previous work, but delved deeper into danceable synthpop and indie rock, gradually moving away from the somber and decadent post-punk sounds of Joy Division. With their subsequent albums, the group showcased a more colorful and carefree side, navigating the waters of alternative pop-rock and dance music. Albums like "Corruption & Lies" (1983), "Low-Life" (1985), "Brotherhood" (1985), and "Technique" (1989) are influenced by the acid house sounds so popular in Manchester at the time, some remnants of their early post-punk, and the synth-pop synthesizers. At the beginning of the 1990s, New Order achieved their only number one single with "World in Motion", which was chosen as the official song of the FIFA World Cup in England. "Substance", released in 1987, compiles all the band's singles up to that point and became their best-selling and most successful album.
