Here's a snippet about New Order from a review (entitled 'Embracing the Random') of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival by Kelefa Sanneh which appears in today's New York Times:

"[2 May] The legendary new wave band New Order played a set that included a handful of songs by its even more legendary precursor, Joy Division; it was odd (but not unpleasant) to hear the group bounce through a fast, peppy version of 'Love Will Tear Us Apart', arguably one of the most unpeppy songs ever recorded."
