A nice side effect of listening to all these together (and a few other songs by some of the artists I like) is that you can start to REALLY see who was creating a new sound. I've always loved Joy Division, but damn if this song just doesn't seem to be a jump from what these other folks were doing. The sonic emptiness. The complete confidence of the weird baritone vocals.
I've also always questioned whether the atmospheric swooshes and bowie-like effects that Joy Division are partially known for add that much. Disorder is just a great song; it almost doesn't NEED those swooshes coming in later on. I like the mix with it in, but I wish I had a remix without it too.
