Just watching a sky arts presentation on new order & they played the video for the perfect kiss, a video I don't think I can recall seeing since probably the early 90's?

What a superb song & video combination, a perfect slice of the 80's.

Directed by Jonathan Demme it's actually a live version created just for the video, wiki link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Perfect_Kiss

this was my favourite New Order song back then, probably along with "Fine Time".

Not sure why this particularly deserves its own thread but thought I'd share it as its been so long since I listened to it, even longer since I watched the video.

I can't actually find a version of the video on YouTube but here's the sound recording of the video live version

Joy Division / New Order are one of my favourite bands - if not THE - but Jesus that song really doesn't suit Bernie's voice. He's not a great singer anyway, but that is shocking.

I'm probably not that much of one to be honest, but I did buy most of their stuff back then. Not like it then?

No, sorry my comment was aimed at the previous poster.

No one thinks Sumner can sing, but I think that is a great track, good video too, made me realise though how old I am as I saw them at Brixton this year and they don't look like that anymore smile

I think Sumner has one of the best voices there is bow , watched New Order in September although not as good as they were they are still brilliant

Perfect kiss and Bizarre love triangle my two faves

Don't get me wrong New Order are probably my favourite band and I like Sumners voice, but it's not a classic 'singing' voice smile
