Many things can be said about Blue Monday. In short it is the most important and influential dance single of the last 25 years. The only other single I can think of that even comes close in terms of radical originality and lasting influence is Donna Summer's colaboration with Giorgio Moroder "I Feel Love." In both cases, there is only one version that you will ever need, and that is the ORIGINAL. It is perfection personified. These updated remixes here add NOTHING to the original, and to me are a slap in the face. Butchery. Simply atrocious. The only saving grace of this cd single is the inclusion of the original 12" mix.

hmm.. i happened to have the australian version and the front of the CD says MONTAG.. dunno what it meant..

but the tracklistings on 1. Plutone Mix, 2. Starwash Mix, 3. Original 12" Mix and 4. Hardfloor Dub. Mixes 1,3 and 4 are okay.. 2 is like hard-house.. the original flavour isn't there...

but still... still luv Blue Monday!

Pivotal. An incredibly layered piece of music, very little can touch it in terms of intelligence and skill in the 25 years since it was released, sounds as fresh today as when it was first released. If you've not heard it, do yourself a favour and buy it. You'll realise just how far music has gone downhill since...

One of the first hits of New Order. A wonderful CD that gives me the shivers of joy! Also the B-side The Beach is great. Based on Blue Monday but instrumental only...
