Demo Tape
New Order
1988

“Dreamy One, that's one of the missing names!

jsz, I'm not sure if you're aware of the set of '88 Technique demos that leaked out which included a minute-long 'work in progress' version of 'Don't Do It'. I'm wondering if this version is similar to the version two arrangement here.

Apparently, all the Technique session songs had titles along the same lines:

Balaeric One -> Fine Time, 8 Track one -> Vanishing Point, Disco One -> Mr. Disco, Funky One -> Guilty Partner, Gillian's Acoustic One -> Dream Attack, Housey One -> Round and Round, MT One -> All The Way (or maybe just 'MTO')?, The Happy One -> The Happy One, VU One -> Run (or Loveless?)

Don't know if 'Best & Marsh' ever got a working title...”

“We will be able to clarify once and for all the Technique working titles, watch this site.”

“The version on the leaked Technique demos sounds more like a rough mix that can be found on another tape in the Rob Gretton Archive. This 2nd version is some kind of sparse dub mix with completely different bass parts otherwise unheard.”

“Where have these leaked to ? I've never heard any Technique era demos”
