Monaco: Music For Pleasure
Stephen Dalton, Uncut, July 1997
IN THE absence of any definite New Order activity for the foreseeable future, Peter Hook's latest project shamelessly recreates his pop past without even bothering to cover his tracks. Gone are the disco-metal rumblings of Revenge, in comes the all-new, short-haired, family-friendly Captain Hook. Hooray!
