This is the original studio tape from the groundbreaking 1983 recording of “Confusion,” a landmark collaboration between New Order and Arthur Baker that redefined the sound of post-punk and dance music. Recorded in New York at Baker’s Shakedown Sound studio, Confusion was the first time the Manchester band worked with an American producer.
Blending the raw edge of New Order’s synth-pop with the electro and hip-hop aesthetics of early-’80s NYC, Confusion became an underground club anthem and a transatlantic bridge between two music scenes. It also marked one of Factory Records’ earliest ventures into New York dance culture.
