New Order – Technique

Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, 180 g

Technique is the fifth studio album by English rock band New Order, released on 30 January 1989 by Factory Records. Partly recorded on the island of Ibiza, it incorporates Balearic beat and acid house influences into the group’s dance-rock sound. The album was influenced by the then growing acid scene, and Sumner’s experiences at Shroom in London.

Technique was the first New Order album to reach number one on the UK charts, and “Fine Time”, the first single from the album, reached number 11.
