It's weird that this reissue features the widely available original song, and not the more rare new version of 1996... the other remix is the classic No Alla Violenza Mix made by Andrew Weatherall and Terry Farley. Anyway it's good to hear again this amazing song, you don't hear often such a mix of euphoria and melancholy... The most awaited track is the brand new Such A Good Thing, and you just wonder why this isn't the title of the single... you also wonder if TV and radio themes are always this good in England... Great song... Get Ready Plus is now definitely the best album ever... Take Get Ready's best songs (Turn My Way, Crystal, Vicious Streak, Someone Like You...) and add: Behind Closed Doors, Sabotage, Player In The League (and what about Here To Stay itself?!) and now Such A Good Thing... they all could be singles... New Order have never been so inspired, this is another great song, not one of their best ever, and that says all, just a great songs like many others of them, and still it's this good... I love the rhythm, the guitar, the final keyboard (which sounds like a faster Atmosphere!) and the echoes on Bernard's voice (the one on "stepping on the grass" is mega)... we also get some other simple but uplifting lyrics ("don't look down, just look straight ahead of you"), they're about football, but they're as good as "you've got to pull yourself together man, you've got to get back on your feet again" on Close Range... New Order, fourtysomethings, toward their fifties, sound fresher than anyone else. |
