Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally running nearly nine minutes on its 12-inch release, 'The Perfect Kiss' showcases New Order at the absolute peak of their electronic sequencing capabilities. Directed by Jonathan Demme, the song's minimalist music video highlights the band's complex live orchestration, mixing synthesizers, cowbells, and Peter Hook's melodic basslines into a dancefloor masterpiece.
