As Be Music, members of New Order did numerous production efforts during the 1980s for labelmates on Factory and like-minded souls elsewhere; 2003’s Cool as Ice was the first of two anthologies focusing on these songs, particularly remixes and 12" singles. Bernard Sumner’s work features most here, often in partnership with A Certain Ratio’s Donald Johnson, including two strong selections by Manchester electrofunk act 52nd Street, among them “Cool as Ice (Twice As Nice)” itself, and their famed ‘megamix’ of Section 25’s “Looking From a Hilltop.”
