Legendary British rockers New Order will soon treat their fans with a new live record. The band announced that the album, titled ∑(No,12k,Lg,17Mif) New Order + Liam Gillick: So it goes.., is scheduled for release on July 12th.
The album contains material recorded on New Order’s show at 2017 Manchester International Festival, where they performed with English conceptual artist Liam Gillick and a 12-piece synthesizer orchestra from Royal Northern College Of Music.
The show saw the group performing both fan favorites and rarities that haven’t been played in decades. Among those songs were Joy Division’s classic “Disorder,” which the band played for the first time as New Order; “Ultraviolence,” which was last played in 1984, and “Shellshock,” the song that hasn’t seen live treatment since 1987.
∑(No,12k,Lg,17Mif) New Order + Liam Gillick: So it goes.. will be released on digital platforms, as a double CD and also as a triple vinyl. The vinyl edition will come with red, green and blue LPs and a 24-page booklet.
As part of the announcement for the album, the band shared the live recording of the song “Sub-Culture,” which was part of the band’s 1985’s album Low-Life. Before the show in Manchester, the track was last performed live in 1989. Hear it below.
