Formed after the disintegration of Joy Division and the death of Ian Curtis, New Order continued (and strengthened) their techno-pop, synth-beat sound, emerging as one of the most influential groups in the field. By the time Low-Life was released in 1985, the band had fully mastered their fashioned keyboard grooves and heavy bass lines, and singer/guitarist Bernard Summer’s vocals added a well-balanced humanistic feel to New Order’s textured rhythms. One of the group’s most dynamic tracks comes in the form of “Perfect Kiss,” and, like a lot of New Order’s material, it was first issued as a 12″ single but ended up gracing the Low-Life album. The track’s slightly stressed rhythmic undercurrent, crisp movement, and flawless dance club beat accompany Summer’s vocals without diminishing them the least bit and New Order had yet another hit, forged in the same style as 1982’s “Blue Monday.” While the album itself stands as one of New Order’s best, the release of all of New Order’s 12″ singles makes up 1987’s Substance, including “Perfect Kiss” in its remixed state, and it’s just as worthy (if not slightly better) than the original.
