Was this one easier to make than Get Ready?

It was a bit, yes. I think weโ€™re a bit more comfortable with being ourselves. I think with Get Ready we wanted to do something a bit different and so itโ€™s got a bit of a heavy guitar-y vibe. This time, as much as we have any ideas before we go in, we wanted to do a record which wasโ€ฆ varied.

Which songs are you particularly pleased with?

I like โ€œTold You Soโ€ because you donโ€™t get a bit of reggae with New Order very often, do you? Itโ€™s a reggae-fusion record I think. think it was inspired by Bernardโ€™s holiday trip to Bognor Regis.

Apparently thereโ€™s another film in productionโ€ฆ

Thereโ€™s actually two! One is based on Deborah Curtisโ€™s book, with Anton Corbijn signed up to direct. And thereโ€™s another in America. Now weโ€™ve finished the record we can sit down and talk to them and either be Henry Kissinger and get them to make friends so they only make one film, or suggest that they just fight, and let the winner make the film.
