New Order - Shellshock

"Shellshock" appeared on the Pretty In Pink soundtrack before it was released as New Order's 11th single altogether and their first of 1986. It builds a perfect bridge between the two albums Low-Life and Brotherhood in the band's discography, grappling as they were at the time with making their special sort of synth-pop unlike anything else out there. As most of their output in these years, "Shellshock" is an absolutely brilliant piece of pop music.
