New Order's classic album Power, Corruption and Lies was released on this day in 1983. The album is widely regarded as one of New Order's best and most influential albums, and it frequently appears on 'greatest album of the 80s' lists music magazines/critics publish from time to time. Power, Corruption and Lies was the album where New Order defined their sound - they released Movement and a few other singles previously, however those songs, in part anyway, sounded like their old band Joy Division. While recording PCL in 1982, the band tinkered around with samplers they had just bought weeks before--Gillian Gilbert revealed the band learned how to use samplers by recording farts--to develop the 'New Order' sound.  The result is perfection.
