So, using the vehicle of neworderonline.com – the most popular New Order website on the internet – they ran a competition for other fans to submit their own cover versions of classic New Order tracks and a few from the band’s side projects.
This kind of compilation CD has been attempted before, yes, but not on the same kind of scale and with the same degree of talent and determination – not to mention the incredible effort by so many different from all corners of the world. Musicians responded from many x different countries across the globe. Not one of these bands had met before ‘in person’ and for many, this was their first contact with the producers of the CD.
As it turned out, this was a mammoth, time consuming undertaking - involving rehearsals, bands booking studio time, submissions by bands, collation of those submissions, fans voting on those submissions, working on designs, applying for publishing and reproduction rights, mastering, printing, and finally distribution of the CD.
Every track on the CD was voted for by subscribers to neworderonline.com, with an elimination round for each batch of tracks, so this CD is truly a representation of the tastes of New Order fans across the world.
Accompanying this release is a CD EP, containing further cover versions, both by bands featured on ‘Community’ and those that didn’t quite fit the mould, but still deserved an airing.

an excellent achievement,

This review is from: COMMUNITY EP: A New Order Online Tribute (Audio CD)
Having followed this project from the start, I am full of praise for the three amigos who started the whole thing. Coordinating a worldwide project like this can't have been easy and having now seen and listened to the end result, it's hats off to them! The artwork is professionally done, the flags especially are a nice touch. Not all the songs will please everyone, but on average I think this is a good representation of New Order's catalogue, and should be appreciated by most fans, together with the Community Tribute album. Personal favourites are Digital's Leave Me Alone and Nemesis' Crystal.

This review is from: COMMUNITY EP: A New Order Online Tribute (Audio CD)
The Community EP is 3 things, if you have followed the evolution of the "mother-album" Community, the EP is the side-kick.It contains 3 songs that, according to the producers, should have been on the main album but have been eliminated on the process (Temptation, Ceremony and Dreams Never End), it also contains the song from the band that trully represents what NewOrderOnline is Digital (formerly known as Known Pleasures), the song that won the Angel Dust remix contest, and finally, an exclusive new track, Crystal. Crystal is probably one of the first song to be completely constructed over the internet. The female singer is in Greece, the musician is in Argentina, the producer is in the USA, nobody ever met, but the result is fantastic. A definite item to add to your New Order collection, but buy ONLY if you are a fan!
