Electronic are New Order frontman Bernard Sumner and ex- Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, and this--their debut--was described by Melody Maker on its release as "one of the greatest albums ever made". This re-packaged version contains the singles "Get The Message", "Feel Every Beat" and "Getting Away With It"--the bands first release and one of two collaborations with the Pet Shop Boys. With Marr turning his back on the Smiths' trademark jangling guitars, the sound is more that of New Order crossed with the Madchester scene of the time (808 State, Happy Mondays, etc.). Sumner and Marr were never going to match the overall impact or quality of the Smiths and of New Order--for many, the two great English bands of the 1980s--but this is the best of their three albums. In the two big hits, as well as album tracks like "Idiot Country" and "Some Distant Memory", they succeed in recapturing some--if never quite all--of their former glories. --Ronita Dutta
