“Joy Division fans hated it,” New Order drummer Stephen Morris said of the band’s second album. “That’s how I knew we were onto a winner.”
They were indeed. It had taken a little while, though. Since the death of Ian Curtis in May 1980, New Order struggled to escape Joy Division’s long, dark shadow. Their debut single, “Ceremony,” was an unrecorded Joy Division song, and on their debut album Movement they seemed happy to give their old fans what they thought they wanted. That included continuing to work with producer Martin Hannett to keeping things gloomy, right down to guitarist Bernard Sumner and bassist Peter Hook’s aping Curtis’ dour style on their vocals — they hadn’t settled on a lead singer yet.
But in 1982 lots of things changed. Bernard Sumner became New Order’s official frontman.
Armed with new equipment, new riffs, a few road-tested songs and a new sense of purpose, and fueled by the creativity that came with that, New Order entered Pink Floyd’s Britannia Road Studios in October and November 1982 to make their second album. With it they found an ally in Mike Johnson, a capable engineer who helped the band capture what they had in their heads on tape.
While guitars, bass and live drums were still a major part of their sound, electronics stormed into the picture in ways few rock bands were doing at the time. Stephen Morris joked he spent more time doing math and pushing buttons — sequencers had to be programmed manually and mistakes were not easy to edit — but the work paid off. “It was a bit of a science project,” Bernard Sumner said in 2020. “Along with the songwriting, that’s why it sounded so good.”
Released May 2, 1983, Power, Corruption & Lies is a near perfect album, the sound of a band flying confidently into uncharted territory and landing the plane.
