New Order / Movement blu-ray audio

New Order’s albums Movement, Low-Life and Brotherhood are to be reissued on blu-ray with Dolby Atmos Mixes by Steven Wilson. All three albums, along with Power, Corruption And Lies receive straight 2CD reissues at the same time.

The blu-rays feature new mixes by Steven Wilson in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround sound and 96/24 PCM stereo mixes, as well as instrumental stereo versions for each of the three albums. Remastered original stereo mixes are also included.

On Brotherhood, the multi-track master tapes of ‘As It Was When It Was’ and ‘Broken Promise’ have been lost, so those two songs have been up-mixed from the album’s 2024 remaster “to create as close an approximation of the Atmos and DTS-HD 5.1 surround experience as possible,” according to a statement.

The extras on CD2 for each of the four albums are taken from their previously released Definitive Edition box sets. These were released in 2019 for Movement; 2020 for Power, Corruption And Lies; 2023 for Low-Life and 2024 for Brotherhood. The stereo remasters on the new blu-ray editions date from the release of those box sets.

The audio extras on each CD2 are a solid array of demos, writing session recordings and rehearsals. Occasional 12-inch remixes feature, notably Michael Johnson’s for ‘Blue Monday 1988’ on Low-Life and Stephen Hague’s mix of ‘Bizarre Love Triangle’ on Brotherhood. Power, Corruption And Lies features a John Peel session, while different versions of unreleased song ‘Skullcrusher’ are included on Low-Life and Brotherhood.

While audio extras are included, the visual components from the Definitive Edition box sets’ blu-ray discs haven’t been added to the new audio-only blu-rays which feature Steven Wilson’s mixes. These extras included two New York shows plus TV concerts at Hammersmith Riverside and Manchester Granada Studios for Movement; Tokyo Koseinenken Hall, Rotterdam Arena, Leuven Manhattan Club and Toronto International Centre gigs for Low-Life; and Brixton Academy and Manchester G-Mex concerts for Brotherhood, as well as assorted TV appearances around each album.

The Definitive Edition box sets were each 2CD+LP+2blu-ray releases. While the vinyl components are now missing, all four albums were reissued in September as standalone LPs.

New Order’s most recent album was Music Complete in 2015, with 2020’s standalone single ‘Be A Rebel’ based on a song from its sessions. They have continued to play live regularly since, but haven’t performed since finishing a US tour in May.

Movement, Low-Life and Brotherhood are released on blu-ray on 5 December 2025. 2CD deluxe editions of Movement, Low-Life, Brotherhood and Power, Corruption And Lies are issued on the same day.
