This Is England 93

My first trip to England was in March of 1993. "Regret" was all over the radio.

Technique is what got me into New Order (outside of the random "hits" throughout the eighties).

But "Regret" and ultimately Republic are what turned them into an obsession.

New Order - Regret. Amazon.com. Used.

totally agreed, I love "True Faith" and "Blue Monday" as a youngster, but it was this album (and single) that really picqued my interest in New Order....

Technique and Substance were the only things I had before this. They were more of a "singles" band to me.

After buying Republic I started buying all of the albums singles etc. And haven't looked back.

It's weird I didn't obsess over them earlier as I did with The Cure and Depeche Mode. I was trying to buy up their discographies from late elementary school/early middle school.
