v/a - Twice as Nice: The Be Music / Dojo / Kamins / Baker Productions (New Order)

A sequel to Cool As Ice, Twice As Nice is a second compilation of electro and dance sides produced by Be Music, the tag used by New Order, along with other Factory and Crépuscule label tracks produced by Donald Johnson, Mark Kamins and Arthur Baker.

Several of these, such as Genius, Keep On Dancing and Cool As Ice remain influential club classics and have been extensively sampled and bootlegged. Other classic old school dance cuts include the Madonna-connected Call Me Mr Telephone by Cheyne, an ultra funky remix of Quando Quango's cover of Low Rider, and both sides of the first Factory single by 52nd Street: Express and Look Into My Eyes.

The album also includes two early sequencer tracks overseen by Bernard Sumner in early 1982, long before Blue Monday changed music forever: the first is an exclusive edit of the original version of 586 by New Order, the second influential electro-pulse Sakura by Section 25.
