Brotherhood (1986) divided the two approaches onto separate album sides. The album notably featured ” Bizarre Love Triangle ” (a Top 20 hit in Australia and New Zealand) and “Angel Dust” (of which a remixed instrumental version is available on the UK “True Faith” CD video single, under the title “Evil Dust”), a track which marries a synth break beat with Low-Life -era guitar effects. While New Order toured North America with friends Echo & the Bunnymen , the summer of 1987 saw the release of the compilation Substance , which featured the new single ” True Faith “. Substance was an important album in collecting the group’s 12-inch singles onto CD for the first time and featured new versions of “Temptation” and “Confusion”—referred to as “Temptation ’87” and “Confusion ’87”. A second disc featured several of the B-sides from the singles on the first disc, as well as additional A-sides “Procession” and “Murder”. The single, “True Faith”, with its surreal video, became a hit on MTV and the band’s first American top 40 hit. The single’s B-side, ” 1963 “—originally planned on being the A-side until the group’s label convinced them to release “True Faith” instead—would later be released as a single in its own right several years later, with two new versions.
