New Order’s Blue Monday (1983) wasn’t meant to be a hit — it was made as a track to play after gigs instead of doing encores. Instead, it became the best-selling 12-inch single of all time. That bassline, the drum machine, the sequencers — it changed electronic music forever. https://t.co/sMzcGvvfQE
