@edmmusicig: 42 years later, “Blue Monday” still sounds ahead of its time On August 25, 1984, New Order performed “Blue Monday” live on BBC Radio 1’s Saturday Live, simulcast on BBC2 television. After reportedly arriving just 25 minutes before airtime, the band had little time to prepare their synthesizers, sequencers, and drum machines, resulting in a raw, technically challenging performance. Released in 1983, “Blue Monday” became the best-selling 12-inch single of all time, bridging post-punk and electronic dance music while influencing generations of artists and producers. via: thefactusproject #edm #edmmusic #electronicdancemusic #dancemusic #neworder

Joy Division was ahead of their time too, so it tracks.

Early 80's music was good compared to the crap that was coming out later in the decade.

As a fan of their music, I loved this track. As a club DJ, I hated it. Why? Because the phrasing on the drum track was off, it didn't follow the standard 8 count measure which all other dance music was built on, which made it insanely difficult to mix. It was like a Led Zeppelin or Rush song, it followed no standard format in its beat sequence.

The 12-inch version of runs for 7 minutes 29 seconds. I enjoy every second when I play it. Purchased in 1983-84 and arguably one of the best songs of the 80s.

you'd stumble upon something like this, have it melt your brain for 15 seconds, and then have your dad change the channel for sports highlights and you'd never find out what this was again

It never gets old. I was little and it appealed to me as a child, it still appeals to me as a woman in her 50s
