説明
1987年リリースされた、「BROTHERHOOD」期New Order15枚目のシングル。プロデューサー兼DJのArthur Bakerとのコラボレート作品であり、「Confusion」や「Thieves Like Us」以来の共作となる。シンセウェイヴな楽曲ありながら、PVはメンバーがヘヴィメタル・バンドに扮してLIVEを行うという、大変ユーモラスな内容となっている。映画「SALVATION!」の主題歌にも起用されている。(ushiro/ Tecchu Co.,Ltd.)

New Order's 'Touched By The Hand Of God', originally released in 1987, returns as a remastered 12" single, retaining its original tracklisting. The main version embodies the quintessential New Order sound of that era, featuring a powerful and uplifting chorus that sticks in your mind. The infectious rhythm and expertly crafted drum programming create a danceable beat that showcases the band's signature blend of post-punk and electronic elements. The track is equally know on the dancefloor as it is for the iconic music video, which humorously depicts the band performing in heavy metal attire, exemplifying their characteristic tongue-in-cheek style. On Side-2 features a dub version that extends the instrumental sections while preserving the vital chorus, maintaining the track's strength and appeal. A reminder of New Order's ability to craft memorable, infectious dance tracks.
