Grieving yet determined, Stephen Morris emerged from the wreckage of Joy Division to the dawn of something new: a new band, a new tour, a new beginning. Under the name New Order, Morris and his bandmates set their sights on America, only to encounter new disasters.

This came to a head when his girlfriend was invited to join the band. Tentatively stepping into their testosterone-filled world, Gillian was the right person at the right time for New Order. And for Morris. What began as just a trial period in the band spun into a whirlwind of new projects and experiences, including The Other Two - a project born during one of New Order's (many) hiatuses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlending entertaining anecdote with profound reflection, \u003ci\u003eFast Forward\u003c\/i\u003e strips back a lifetime of fame and fortune to tell, with raw honesty, how New Order threatened to implode time after time.

Far removed from the bright lights and manic energy of nearby Manchester, he felt stifled by suburbia and feared he might never escape. Then he joined Joy Division - while they were still known as Warsaw - a pioneer of the rousing post-punk sound that would revolutionise twentieth-century rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing two landmark albums and widespread critical acclaim, Joy Division were at the height of their powers and poised to break the US, when lead singer, Ian Curtis, committed suicide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePart memoir, part scrapbook and part aural history: Stephen Morris's innate sense of rhythm and verve pulses through \u003ci\u003eRecord Play Pause\u003c\/i\u003e.
