About The Record:

Confusion, is a single released by New Order. It was the follow-up to their breakthrough hit Blue Monday and is unique for having both Peter Hook and Bernard Sumner playing bass guitars on it. The song is produced by influential New York DJ Arthur Baker. As a result, it was recorded in New York, a rarity for the band. Three remixes served as B-sides on the initial 12" release: "Confused Beats, Confusion Instrumental and Confusion Rough Mix. The two tracks on side A (Confusion and Confused Beats) are mixed together, which when played in sequence, act as a thirteen and half minute long remix by Arthur Baker. The Rough Mix on side B is the original song mixed by New Order. The video for the single features live footage of the band in concert, inter cut with images of nightlife in New York City, specifically at the "Fun House", and producer Arthur Baker and DJ John "Jellybean" Benitez at work.
