The second episode of New Order's docu-series Transmissions premiered today and features commentary from the intriguing and legendary Gillian Gilbert. Highlights include Gilbert's comments about working with Martin Hannett and talking about how Joy Division/New Order are pegged as dark, serious people even though the reality is they are quite the opposite.
Enjoy the all-too-short interview with Gilbert below.
Transmissions leads up to and celebrates the release of the Movement Definitive Edition box set. The four piece set (1LP/2CD/1DVD) arrives April 5th and contains a copy of Movement on vinyl, a copy of Movement on CD, a bonus CD with previously unreleased tracks (Western Works and Cargo demos, rehearsal versions and more), a DVD collecting live concert recordings from 1980/81 along with their Granada TV and BBC appearances, plus a hard back book. Pre-order here.
This month remastered editions of four iconic Movement-era non-album singles will be released. Last week both versions of "Ceremony" were reissued; tomorrow (March 15th) will see the reissue of "Everythings Gone Green" (with the correct tracklisting for "Mesh" and "Cries And Whispers!), and "Temptation" wraps up the reissue series on March 23rd. Head here to pre-order.
