New Order's "Blue Monday" is 30 years old today. I'm going to go sit down for a sec.

  3. That kick drum pattern seems so quaint now, but it blue my mind when I first heard it.

  5. Oh hell yeah! This and Confusion - two of the frist tracks that had what I considered at the time to be realistic sounding drum machines. I still listen to this from time to time.

  6. It really was an amazing track when it came out and it's held up well. It was such a huge influence on so much electronic music! So many people asked me to program stuff like that over the years.
