21 years ago (16 October 2001), New Order released their seventh studio album “Get Ready” featuring singles “Crystal" “60 Miles an Hour" and “Someone Like You".
The album was dedicated to Rob Gretton, the manager of Joy Division and New Order, who died in 1999. It was the band's first studio album in eight years, following 1993's Republic, and was their last to feature the original lineup.
“ Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say thank you for the music.” ABBA
