Interesting debate last week when I suggested that In Between Days was not only the finest moment of The Cure but also the best New Order song that New Order never wrote and recorded,
I hung my hat on it being the Lowlife era….others have thought it was more Power, Corruption & Lies. Thinking more about it, it’s probably a mix of the two as the tremendous opening tracks of both LPs illustrate:-
mp3 : New Order – Age Of Consent
mp3 : New Order – Love Vigilantes
And when featuring those two songs on the blog, I really can’t let the occasion pass without listening to their other great LP opener of that era:-
mp3 : New Order – Dreams Never End
It really doesn’t seem like 32 years ago. It too sounds a big influence on In Between Days
Enjoy

Dreams Never End: Hooky demonstrating there why everybody is happy that Sumner won the singer sweepstakes.
Teenage Kicks by The Undertones. It got changed lyrically from “I wanna hold it , I wanna hold it tight, get teenage kicks right through the night”
