Has anybody liked the Howie B. redo of New Order's "Age of Consent"? I have
been playing it alot despite the fact that the dubby Jam & Spoon remix of
"Blue Monday" is the only other (IMHO) worthwhile thing about the *The Rest
of New Order* (nostalgia leads to me to some purchases). Would I be dated
myself too much by admitting "Power, Corruption, and Lies" was a very
important album for me 13 or so years ago?
