1.0 out of 5 stars
Loaded with errors, November 12, 2008
The MUSIC on these New Order reissues get a 5/5, easily. However, there were far too many egregious mistakes made in the creation of the discs themselves to give them a pass. Only the first discs were re-mastered though they still have some problems, it is the bonus discs that are an absolute mess.
Warner Music/Rhino know about these problems, but there is yet no word on any forthcoming fixes. So I'd hold off until these issues are addressed.
Noted below are the specific problems with the Movement reissue:
1. Dreams Never End
2. Truth
3. Senses
4. Chosen Time
5. I.C.B
6. The Him - Glitch at 5:25-5:26
7. Doubts Even Here
8. Denial
- bonus disc:
1. Ceremony
2. Temptation (click at 3:47)
3. In A Lonely Place (levels are maxed out which has caused clipping)
4. Everything's Gone Green
5. Procession
6. Cries & Whispers (mislabeled as "Mesh") (glitches at 0:06, 0:07, 0:08, 0:28, 0:34, and 0:45)
7. Hurt - (Glitches at 0:00, 0:37, 1:05[right channel pop], 1:07, 3:04, 3:48, 4:06, 6:19, 6:24, 7:07, 7:26, 7:59)
8. Mesh (mislabeled as "Cries & Whispers") - Evidence of scratched vinyl at 0:28, 0:30, 0:35, 0:37, 1:05, 1:07, 1:09, 1:12, 1:14, 1:19, 1:21, 1:40, 1:41, 2:08, 2:09, 2:17, 2:18, 2:19, 2:24, 2:26, 2:28, 2:33, 2:35. In addition, digital glitches at: 0:07, 0:20, 0:44, 0:58, 1:00, 1:25, 1:33, 1:37, 1:44, 1:47, 1:49, 1:56, 1:58, 2:12, 2:22, 2:37, 2:40, 2:49, 2:54, 2:56. Sudden convergence to mono at 1:35.
9. Ceremony (Alt. Version) -L/R channels swapped
10. Temptation - Left channel crackle at 0:24

Power Corrupted and Lousy, December 1, 2008
Just a note to Warners: And a Warning about source material for fans. I didn't know there were so many issues with these "Collectors Series"
Didn't Substance 1987 have better sources for some of the bonus material, or if you are lucky to have FACTUS 8 Everythings Gone Green CD. I guess New Order didn't rate very high with Warner to have better source material. I don't recall there being issues with Joy Divisions similar series.
And BTW don't pay over $20 if you do buy them. The imports aren't any different. I am a disappointed fan. SHAME

The Joy Divison cover band, December 10, 2008
First, I had NO problems with the sound quality on my discs. Second, my only REAL complaint is the lackluster booklet that comes with this "deluxe edition". C'mon, Rhino - this thing should be crammed with band pictures, sleeves and the ACTUAL SONG LISTINGS and TIMES ON BOTH DISCS! I shouldn't have to look at the cd to get the song titles! This is just plain lazy - you guys used to be the Cadillac of reissue labels - quite churning out Pintos! Now that we've got that behind us, this is a stunning debut from the post-Curtis years. It sounds like a Joy Divison album and that doesn't bother me one bit. It's better than all the over praised records they've done in the last 15 years and needs to be given it's due now! I think it's a wee bit better than Low-Life, but not quite the classic that Power, Corruption & Lies is. This is the turning point for a group that would become stadium huge (you can hear it changing in the non-lp singles on disc 2) and be a huge influence on another generation of artists, the same way Joy Division was. Not many groups can come back from the loss of a singer like Ian Curtis - Can you imagine the Stones without Mick? It would never work - and that's what makes New order so special.
