Retrospective Appreciation: "Technique" by New Order, 1989


So it's been 25 years since this album was released...and I still go back to it as one of my favorites. The first single, "Fine Time," at first was a head scratcher for me, but it grew to be one of my favorites. It was very different from what I had grown to expect from New Order, but, again, it really grew on me. "Run" was more true to form and another favorite. "Round and Round" was also more characteristic of their sound. "Vanishing Point" and "Dream Attack" are two other standouts. This has become a perennial go-to album for me.
