Monaco - happy jack, 1997

"Released on June 9, 1997, on Polydor Records, Music for Pleasure may be regarded as the pinnacle of Hook’s songwriting prowess outside of his former bands, Joy Division and New Order; but, of course, not discounting the equally important contributions of Hook’s effective co-songwriter in Monaco, David Potts (drums, guitar, keyboards, vocals, bass). It also inadvertently gave away a hint of which New Order songs were borne primarily of Hook’s ideas or, at the least, his preferred musical direction, considering the almost purely Electronic Dance Music excursion of his New Order bandmates: Bernard Sumner, in his own side project in the same period; as well as that of The Other Two, Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert."
