"Bizarre Love Triangle" is a single released in 1986 by the British Alternative / Dance Music group New Order . A version is included on their album '' Brotherhood ''.

Though generally regarded as one of the group's best singles, it failed to make the UK Top 40, only reaching #56. It was, however, a surprise hit in Australia, reaching #5. In the U.S its popularity has only climbed steadily since 1986, and is considered a classic in many circles.

The single mix features a cleaner sound with more electronics than the album version, notably the Fairlight CMI music workstation, the premier sampling keyboard workstation of the eighties, used to provide novel sounds, such as the orchestra hits that were so popular, but also to sequence the song. All instruments minus bass and voice were sequenced. {Link without Title}


RELEASES

The 12" version appears on the compilation '' Substance '' and a remix by Stephen Hague features on their ''Best Of'' album. The 7" mix has never appeared on an album.

The Music Video was directed by American artist Robert Longo . It prominently featured shots of a man and a woman in business suits flying through the air as though propelled by trampolines; this is based directly on Longo's "Men in the Cities" series of Lithograph s.

A version is on the soundtrack of the 1988 film '' Married To The Mob ''.
