New York 81 Reading Festival 98 and in conversation
New Order rose out of the ashes of Joy Division, Britain's legendary post-punk band that came to an end with the death of lead singer Ian Curtis. The remaining members reassembled and took their music in a brighter, more experimental direction, becoming pioneers in an innovative new acoustic/electronic sound that paved the way for Techno. 316 showcase the band in an early performance from their first year together, in one of their greatest concerts - the Reading Festival '98 - and then in candid conversation discussing their long and pivotal career. This is a rare opportunity to experience one of music's most purposefully enigmatic-the group doesn't even credit individual performers-and influential modern bands.
