Description
New Order's live album "∑(No,12k,Lg,17Mif) So It Goes.." captures a unique performance that took place at the Manchester International Festival in 2017. This album is a testament to the band's enduring legacy and their ability to innovate and collaborate with contemporary artists. The collaboration with visual artist Liam Gillick adds a distinct layer to the performance, making it not just a musical experience but a multimedia one.
Recorded over five nights at the Old Granada Studios, the album features a setlist that spans New Order's extensive career, including both well-known hits and deeper cuts. The choice of venue is significant, as it is the same location where the band made their television debut as Joy Division on Tony Wilson's "So It Goes" program. This historical connection adds a layer of nostalgia and significance to the performance, bridging the past and present of the band's journey.
The album opens with "Times Change," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the performance with its driving rhythm and atmospheric synths. The inclusion of "Disorder," a Joy Division classic, is a nod to the band's origins and showcases their ability to reinterpret their earlier work with a fresh perspective. Other standout tracks include "Bizarre Love Triangle" and "Your Silent Face," both of which highlight New Order's signature blend of post-punk and electronic music.
One of the most interesting aspects of this album is the involvement of Liam Gillick, who designed a dynamic stage set that responded to the music in real-time. This collaboration brought a visual dimension to the performance, enhancing the audience's experience and creating a dialogue between sound and sight. The integration of a 12-piece synthesizer ensemble further enriched the sound, adding layers and textures that are not present in the studio versions of the songs.
Critically, "∑(No,12k,Lg,17Mif) So It Goes.." has been well-received for its innovative approach to a live album. Reviewers have praised the band for their willingness to experiment and push the boundaries of a traditional concert experience. The album captures the energy and creativity of the live performance, offering listeners a chance to experience the event as if they were there.
The album's title, "∑(No,12k,Lg,17Mif) So It Goes..," is a cryptic reference to the collaboration and the event itself. "No" stands for New Order, "12k" refers to the 12-piece synthesizer ensemble, "Lg" is Liam Gillick, and "17Mif" denotes the 2017 Manchester International Festival. This title encapsulates the essence of the project, highlighting the collaborative nature and the specific context of the performance.
In terms of cultural significance, this album serves as a reminder of New Order's impact on the music scene and their ability to remain relevant decades after their formation. By revisiting their past while simultaneously embracing new artistic collaborations, New Order demonstrates their commitment to evolution and creativity.
Overall, "∑(No,12k,Lg,17Mif) So It Goes.." is more than just a live album; it is a celebration of New Order's legacy and their ongoing influence in the music world. The combination of classic tracks, innovative arrangements, and a visually stunning performance makes this album a must-listen for fans and newcomers alike. It stands as a testament to the band's enduring appeal and their ability to continually reinvent themselves while staying true to their roots.
