feel every beat

this is an unofficial website about electronic, the ’90s band formed by bernard sumner (new order, joy division) and johnny marr (the smiths, the the). it combines opinions on the 48 songs they released from 1989 to 1999 alongside a worldwide discography and a press archive; the aim was to gather all the info on the band and present it in a simple, aesthetic layout. articles and photographs are reproduced here for their historical and educational relevance, as well as in the altruistic assumption they would otherwise remain unpublished.

electronic are often overlooked due to their deceptively undistinguished name and because their initial appeal is likely to be restricted to new order fans, as well some smiths and pet shop boys followers (neil tennant joined the duo for three songs). it’s a significant default audience, but the three albums and fourteen single-only tracks they released should still be afforded more prominence, hence this website. contributions and general feedback are always appreciated, so feel free to e-mail with any comments or corrections you may have.
