Tribute albums can be cute in that "awe, how sweet" sort of way. They can also be unflattering if the artists fails to do a nice job or the compilation of songs doesn't exactly flow together. In this case, let's hope it's the former.
Florida independent record label, or what they call a digital distribution portal, called 24 Hour Service Station assembled a tribute album honoring the music of New Order entitled "CEREMONY - A New Order Tribute." The double CD plus bonus disc and digital album are scheduled for release in the fall of 2009.
Monies raised from record sales will benefit the Salford Foundation Trust’s Tony Wilson Award, which aids children and young people who demonstrate a special talent or ambition in the arts. Tony Wilson was a journalist and a co-founders of Factory Records, the Manchester based British indie label that featured several prominent musical acts, including Joy Division and New Order.
Artists have donated a version of their favorite New Order track. Partakers include Rabbit In The Moon, Win Win Winter, Kate Havnevik, SUNBEARS!, Jah Division, Geri X, The Cloud Room, DETACHMENTS, The Beauvilles, Kingsbury, The Penelopes, GD Luxxe, Pocket, XOXO, Kites with Lights, Dub Gabriel and more.
