Power Corruption and Lies

Album Summary

Power, Corruption & Lies is the second studio album by the English rock band New Order, released on 2 May 1983 by Factory Records. The album features more electronic tracks than their debut studio album Movement (1981), with heavier use of synthesisers. The album was met with widespread acclaim, and has been included in music industry lists of the greatest albums of the 1980s and of all time. Power, Corruption & Lies, an evolution from New Order's debut album, Movement (1981), combines the band's roots in post-punk with influences from electronic music into a sound described as synth-pop, electropop, new wave, synth-rock, dance-rock, post-punk and dance-punk. Peter Saville's design for the album had a colour-based code to represent the band's name and the title of the album, but they were not written on the original UK sleeve (they were present on some non-UK versions), although the catalogue number "FACT 75" does appear on the top-right corner. The decoder for the code was featured prominently on the back cover of the album and can also be seen on the "Blue Monday" and "Confusion" singles and for Section 25's third studio album From the Hip (1984).
