Music For Pleasure (Blk) (Bonus Tracks) (Gate)

180-gram black vinyl. Music For Pleasure is the 1997 debut studio album by Monaco, a side project of New Order bassist Peter Hook. When New Order went on a hiatus after 1993's Republic, Hook took the group's sound and spirit with him and founded Monaco together with David Potts. Hook's distinctive pulsating bass lines united New Order's marriage of post-punk and pop, creating an identity so recognizable that Monaco's first single, "What Do You Want From Me?", was often mistaken for a New Order track. Upon it's release, the album hit #11 on the UK album charts and sold more than 500,000 copies worldwide. Music For Pleasure is available as an expanded edition featuring 6 bonus tracks, including remixes by Joey Negro and Farley & Heller.
