New Order have been talking about the band's new album, currently in production. According to the NME, bassist Peter Hook says: "It's sounding great. It's more Techniquey in its feel than Get Ready is and we're all feeling uppy and it sounds uppy."
Singer and guitarist Bernard Sumner adds: "We've got 12 songs with vocals and we've recorded eight of them but the writing's going a lot quicker. We've actually got 20 or 21 backing tracks written but of course I've got to catch up on the vocals and it's a lot harder work writing the vocals than writing the music."
