About this album

Technique is one of New Order’s most accomplished albums, balancing club-driven electronic pulse with the band’s cool melodic instinct. Recorded in 1988 and released in 1989, it captured a group who had already bridged post-punk and dance culture, then pushed further into acid house, pop and alternative rock. Tracks like Fine Time, Round & Round and Vanishing Point show how sharply they could turn machine rhythms into unmistakable hooks. The album was widely praised for refining their sound rather than repeating it, and it remains a key statement from a band that helped define the crossover between indie rock and electronic music.
