"[Low-Life's] varied menu of soul-pop, techno-rock, delicate instrumental moods, and driving, clattering percussion offers adventure in texture at every turn."
- Los Angeles Times
New Order are delighted to release the definitive edition of their 1985 studio album Low-Life. The 2-disc collection includes rare and unreleased material, including instrumentals of “Love Vigilantes” and “Sub-Culture," along with the “Album Session Unedited Version” of “Sooner Than You Think.”
Low-Life was originally recorded in 1984 at Jam and Britannia Row Studios as the band's third full-length studio album, self-produced by the band. It is considered to be among the band's strongest work, displaying the moment they completed their transformation from post-punk hold-overs to dance-rockers. The album shows New Order's increased incorporation of synthesisers and samplers, while still preserving the rock elements of their earlier work.
