Technique by New Order is an album that I absolutely love. I was fifteen years old at the time it was released, which is the perfect age for an album to get into your head and stay there. I love the lyrics, the emotion of the album and Peter Hook's melodic bass lines. If I remember rightly, Bernard Sumner had just gone through a heavy break up, which is the basis of the album. It is also slightly ahead of The Stone Roses release, the Manchester scene bursting into life and dance culture becoming the dominant youth movement. As I listened to it today, I was saying to myself at every track, 'this is my favourite' but I've settled on Run as the lyrics pop into my head more often than any other track on the album...
