DAVE PIKE - LIMBO CARNIVAL

New Order's sixth studio album, appearing four years after Technique. And the first one after the demise of their former label [l=Factory], with traces about the partnership gone bitter found on tracks like Ruined In A Day and Liar. The album is often considered being an economic necessity as New Order have lost large amounts of money because of the deal with Factory Records and their involvement with the Hacienda. Additionally, the tensions within the band made this “a very, very unpleasant record to make" (according to drummer [a=Stephen Morris]), and subsequently the band went into a hiatus for eight years soon after the release. Produced by [a=Stephen Hague] and New Order, with full artwork by [a=Peter Saville (2)]. Released in the UK and Europe on 03 May 1993 the US on 11 May 1993 Japan on 15 May 1993 Australia, NZ and Asia on 24 May 1993. A limited edition version was released in the US. It has the same tracklisting but an entirely different packaging (a folding wallet made of bright orange vinyl instead of a jewel case) and CD label.
