Best leftovers: Box sets of Talking Heads, New Order and The Go-Betweens

The holiday release gap provides an opportunity to mention some essential re-releases. The album released in 1986 Brotherhood by New Order demonstrates the run the band from Manchester had at the time in an extensive box set with LP, CD and DVDs. Songs like Paradise, Broken Promise or Bizarre Love Triangle show the band at the peak of their abilities. The transition from dance floor and melancholy to a state of glowing weekend hedonism remains unrivaled. The remixes and the concert recordings on DVD are more die-hard fan material, the album itself is a classic of the 1980s.
