After talking about the Mancunian band of Oasis, it is noticeable to acknowledge the works of “New Order” (Who were from Salford in Greater Manchester, so not technically full Mancunian’s as some may suggest) The new wave, electronic 4 piece released “Blue Monday” in 1983 with Factory Records. It soon became the highest selling 12 inch record of all time, I personally class the song as 7 and a half minutes of technical brilliance. If “Blue Monday” was released today and I was not aware of the song before, I wouldn’t question it’s relevance and modernity. The noticeable bass line of Peter hook accompanied by the imperfect singing of Bernard Sumner creates a harmony which this song and those who listen to it deserve.
