!!Media alert!! New Order: Power, Corruption & Lies

[Pista]

On BBC6 Music on Sunday 12th July at 1pm BST

In the third of the Sounds of a City series, Colleen Murphy lifts the lid on New Order's Power, Corruption and Lies and it's relationship to Manchester. Speaking to the likes of Peter Hook, Stephen Morris and Peter Saville, we breakdown the components of an album that fused punk and dance, art and experimentation, to create something for a new generation of tech-savvy music-philes to get their teeth into. A Perfect Ratio's Martin Moscrop and The Charlatan's Tim Burgess discuss this perfect blending, whilst 808 State's Graham Massey contemplates the fact that Manchester has more in common with New York than it does with any other British city. A story that may sound familiar, but New Order were still stepping out from the shadows of Joy Division, so the idea of experimentation is amplified and braver, and may not have even worked. And then there was that album cover.

I listened. It was very interesting.

I was out in the garden with Basil, but it's on the beeb's radio player for a month

great series - the earlier episode on Liverpool was really good as well.

Long Shot - but did anyone record the first episode (Sheffield & HL Travelogue)
as I missed it and its not on iplayer.

thanks

I'll ask about. Someone must have caught it surely

When was it on? The iplayer usually keeps stuff on for 30 days

thanks - appreciate that - at a guess it was on during early to mid May this year - basing that on the 30 day rule and the fact the NO PC&L aired mid July.

Additionally - I'm really hopeful that having covered:

1. Sheffield
2. Liverpool
3. Manchester

Surely there is only one to place to go next?

Episode 4 will feature a trip over the Pennines to Leeds and of course FALAA!

Maybe we should start lobbying now!

At last - BBC finally repeated this - it's on BBC iPlayer now.

Even if you've only a passing interest in the League, this is well worth a listen, captures exactly what was happening at the time from the early CABS onward.

Listen and you'll hear a constant reference to bands being a trio with drum machine, The Cab's being the blue print here.

They seem to be re-running some classic programs from 2015 at the moment.
Keep an eye on the classic concert series also. Usually a nice little gem or two there
