Substance: Inside New Order
Autor Peter Hooken Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 iun 2017
‘This book will delight both New Order-ites and general rock readers’ Mojo
A ROLLICKING, NO-HOLDS-BARRED ACCOUNT OF NEW ORDER'S ENTIRE HISTORY.
Two acclaimed albums and an upcoming US tour – Joy Division had the world at their feet. Then, on the eve of that tour, the band’s troubled lead singer, Ian Curtis, killed himself. The next time they got together, they were a new band.
That band was New Order – their label was Factory Records, their club The Haçienda. Their distinctive sound paved the way for the dance music explosion that followed, earning them the reputation as one of the most influential bands of their generation, and changing the course of popular music.
Following on from his bestselling titles The Haçienda and Unknown Pleasures, Peter Hook has written a rollicking, no-holds-barred account of the band's entire history. Substance is packed with never-before-seen detail, discographies and technical information. This is possibly the most entertaining memoir ever written by a British musician.

‘Rock writing rarely tells us properly what a band treading water or in slow decline feels like from the inside. Hook does so memorably’ Guardian
‘As mammoth and downright idiotic as the band deserves … something hilariously daft happens on nearly all of Substance’s 750 pages’ Classic Pop

Recenzii
‘Rock writing rarely tells us properly what a band treading water or in slow decline feels like from the inside. Hook does so memorably.’
‘The 768 pages will delight both New Order-ites and general rock readers, revealing the astonishing human bathos behind this group's godly future-rock […] The way Joy Division and New Order combined high art with base behaviour is well established but this book rides that tandem to new dimensions […] there's much more than carnage’
‘Set against a lurid backdrop of orgiastic tours, awash with drink, drugs, and a debauched retinue of dealers, hookers and mad roadies, Hook drawing from a seemingly bottomless well of outrageous anecdotes, many of them hilarious and told with the same droll voice that delighted readers of The Haçienda: How Not to Run a Club’
‘Epic rock tale of sex, drugs and jealousy … A must for fans, it's wildly funny and revelatory'
‘A rollicking read’
‘You don’t have to be an ardent fan of Manchester music to enjoy this doorstopper … engrossing’
‘Substance chronicling the original four-piece’s history is as mammoth and downright idiotic as the band deserves … something hilariously daft happens on nearly all of Substance’s 750 pages’

Descriere
The iconic bass player tells the third, arguably the most important and certainly most controversial part of his story: the New Order years
Textul de pe ultima copertă
In this final installment of his internationally bestselling trilogy of memoirs, Peter Hook describes the 1980s new wave and post-punk scene and the rise of one of the most important bands of the Second British Invasion: New Order.
In May 1980, Joy Division had the world at its feet. Then the band’s troubled lead singer, Ian Curtis, committed suicide. In the wake of that tragedy emerged New Order. The band’s distinctive sound—a fusion of post-punk and groundbreaking electronica—paved the way for the dance music explosion that followed and continues today. This innovation would earn them the reputation as one of the most influential groups of their generation, and change the course of popular music on both sides of the Atlantic.
Substance is a no-holds-barred account of New Order’s entire history. Containing outrageous anecdotes, tales of excess and astonishing creative perseverance, Substance is also packed with rich detail, complete discographies, and fascinating technical information about how the music was made. It is also a rollicking read, sure to impress with Hook’s talent for recalling the most intimate detail and spinning an epic yarn.
