DESCRIPTION:
A definitive collection of photographs of the legendary and influential band New Order. Prefaced by a selection of rarely seen ephemera, conversations with the band members, and an introduction from Douglas Coupland, this is a stunning celebration of a band whose influence on music and fashion is still palpable today.. From underground beginnings as the flagship group of Factory Records in Manchester to grandstand tours around Europe and America, Cummins captured the band in every light, from the intimacy of the studio to the frenetic energy of live performance.

That rapport is even more evident in the meat of the book, with Cummins’ work showing an intimacy with his subject matter, regardless of whether the band is at leisure or onstage . Bad haircuts and fashion choices aside, this book captures the group as we'd like to remember them: a great band at the top of its game."-THE AGIT READER
