No, no.  New Order is a different incarnation of Joy Division, not the
other way around.  JD's music whomps the bejeebers out of anything New
Order has tried to do in the last few years. :-)
     
By the way, if you like Joy Division, a band you might like (NOT a JD
clone, there's enough of those) is My Dad Is Dead.  They (actually he)
have 2 albums out: "Peace, Love, and Murder" (Birth Records), and "My
Dad Is Dead and He's Not Going to Take It Anymore" (St. Valentine
Records, I think).  Both are great.
     
I personally think the 4AD compilation is really fuggin' incredible,
esp.  Throwing Muses (who have an album out on Sire records soon;
finally, someone wised up and signed them in America.)
