One of my first favourite New Order songs, it seems, with all the other great ones on 'Power, Corruption & Lies', no one ever mentions "The Village". With its major key sequenced pattern, oblique lyrics (that I've come to think are about Ian Curtis), and melodic bass, it's classic New Order, bearing a strong resemblance to "Temptation", my other favourite song when I first started listening to them, and one of my favourite ever songs.
And some good live versions:
Strange lyrical additions but some nice guitar work at The Town & Country Club, London 1986:
