I am absolutely and utterly obsessed with the song. Please share anything to do with the song e.g. early versions of the song, gear used, early studio pics, midi files, etc.

I once scatted the synth riff at the top of my lungs at a traffic light with the car windows wide open, to the consternation of other drivers

Which version? The one on the album is my favourite and has pretty much the best pad ever at the end, from about 3:20. Pretty sure it’s the Voyetra 8 layered with an Emulator or something.

A true classic of a tune. Not sure what machine it is but love the drums in it.

Read Peter Hook’s book. He goes over the technical details of a lot of tracks.

Awesome! I have DJ’d the two back to back to make it fun because in my neck of the woods this track has been played out to death, while I admit that it is still fun.

A little information about Brotherhood-era gear from Hooky’s and Stephen’s books, and a review by Mark Prendergast in the February 1987 issue of Sound On Sound in which he interviewed Michael Johnson:
Yamaha QX1
Roland MSQ-700
Yamaha DX5
Yamaha TX816
Yamaha RX11
Octave-Plateau Voyetra-8
E-mu Emulator II
Oberheim DMX
Roland TR-808
There’s also a Fairlight, probably from Amazon Studios during the final recording and mixing.
Not all the gear appears on BLT.

Bizzarre love triangle is the track that got me into new order back in the day.
