If Joy Division have been chic musical darkness, New Order have been bathed in daylight and their globally common music bridged the chasm between indie and dance and impressed a technology. Having conquered the world and maintained their credibility, they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and imploded in a tsunami of recrimination, whereas nonetheless making fabulous music.
