New Order’s careful but steady reorientation towards the energy of early 80s dance music, particularly electro and early hip-hop out of New York, was already starting to take effect in their singles; Power, Corruption & Lies didn’t fully reflect that but did certainly start to show them mixing light with the dark. “Blue Monday” appeared in a radical remix/revamp, “5 8 6,” but more typical songs would be the brisk, sweet opener “Age of Consent,” the stately (with a bit of snark) “Your Silent Face” and the truly lovely rumination that closes the album, “Leave Me Alone.”
