*****

"'Temptation' is a stand-alone single released by British band New Order on Factory Records. The single reached #29 on the UK Singles Chart on its release in 1982.

The 7' version is a more structured version with a commercial synthpop feel; the 12' is more chaotic with the emphasis on electronic rhythms rather than melody. The 7' version plays at 33.3rpm to accommodate its length of around five and a half minutes. Both versions bear the same catalogue number 'FAC 63 despite these differences.

The 12' versions of both 'Temptation' and its B-side, 'Hurt', appear on New Order's mopping up EP 1981–1982, released a few months after the single itself.

Neither version mentioned the band's name or the song titles on release; instead the catalogue number FAC 63 was embossed into the front of the sleeve.

The vocal track on the original 12' version features an audible scream during the song's intro. Vocalist Bernard Sumner has since explained that the scream was from him due to fellow bandmates thrusting a snowball down his shirt during recording.

The song was completely re-recorded and released on 1987 singles compilation Substance, sometimes known as 'Temptation '87'. This version is now one of New Order's best-known recordings, partly due to its appearance on the best-selling Trainspotting soundtrack; in the film the lyrics are sung by Diane while she's taking a bath, heard very faintly in the background during breakfast not much later and again during the scene where Renton is locked in his room.

Later, after five years of inactivity, another new version of 'Temptation' was recorded by the band in 1998. This recording is similar to the earlier 1987 version, but omits the long intro. Running at 4:08, this version is known as 'Temptation '98' and eventually saw official release on the Retro boxset.

'Temptation' is also the song New Order have played live more than any other. The song often goes on for over ten minutes when performed live, due to the fusion of the two different 7' and 12' versions.

A different mix of 'Temptation' appeared on the soundtrack for the 1986 film Something Wild. This version clocks in at 3:30." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temptation_%28New_Order_song%29

I was trying to go for a synthwave, neo 80's kind of look.

Yep, I am going to go to the March for Truth, my sister in law's birthday party on the far north side, and shoot three days of bands for Do Division. I might collapse and die but at least my body will be in fit shape.

It's pathway is painted in red!

A tribute to the synthpop classic by the Human League. As soon as I saw the new minifig ringleader this idea popped into my head. Listen to the song (fast version) here or to watch the video of the original version here.
