Your Silent Face

All four members are credited. Power, Corruption and Lies came out on Factory on May 2, 1983 (FACT 75), produced by New Order with Michael Johnson engineering, recorded in 1982 at Britannia Row Studios in Islington. Morris said the working title was the Kraftwerk one, and the band aimed for the sparkle of the intro to Kraftwerk's "Europe Endless"; Gilbert said the studio's 16-track machine limited the parts. Sumner worked hard on the synth parts, and Gilbert and Morris programmed and played keyboards. Chromewaves notes that no singles were taken from the record, and the album reached 4 in the UK and 1 on the Independent chart, certified Gold by the BPI.

Velocity Girl covered it in 1994 as a 7-inch A-side, The Submarines in 2011, Fujiya and Miyagi in 2012 for Mojo's covers disc and Cold Cave in 2016. It was played live in 1983, on a 2006 Glasgow release, and by Peter Hook and The Light at Manchester Cathedral in January 2013. We found no video. Our upload is a remaster; the Definitive Edition came out on October 2, 2020.
