New Order | Confusion (1983)

"Confusion" is a single released by British group New Order in August 1983 with the catalogue number FAC 93.[4][note 1] It was the follow-up to their breakthrough hit "Blue Monday" and is unique for having both Peter Hook and Bernard Sumner playing bass guitars on it.

Three remixes served as B-sides on the initial 12" release: "Confused Beats", "Confusion Instrumental" and "Confusion Rough Mix".


The two tracks on side A ("Confusion" and "Confused Beats") are mixed together, which when played in sequence, act as a thirteen and half minute long remix by Arthur Baker.


The "Rough Mix" on side B is the original song mixed by New Order.
