Background

The album consists of cover songs of the band New Order, an English musical group formed in 1980 by Bernard Sumner (vocals, guitars, synthesizers), Peter Hook (bass, backing vocals, electronic drums) and Stephen Morris (drums, synthesizers). New Order were formed in the wake of the demise of their previous group Joy Division, following the suicide of vocalist Ian Curtis. They were soon joined by additional keyboardist Gillian Gilbert. New Order combined post-punk and electronic dance, and became one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the 1980s. They were first recorded by Tony Wilson, founder of Factory Records.[1]

Allmusic reviewer William Ruhlmann gave the album 3.5/5 stars, and praised in particular the tracks that strayed from the original New Order compositions. He wrote, "Ceremony: A New Order Tribute is not the first album to pay tribute to the British techno-dance band New Order. But this one is more ambitious, spreading across two CDs, and it can claim at least partial authorization from the group."[1]
