His first solo project, Revenge, had gone nowhere--but Hooky, like John Wayne, was not meant for the quiet life. Instead, he recruited singer\/guitarist David Potts (a hired hand, reputedly, on the Revenge sessions) and formed Monaco--not so much a successor to New Order's legacy, as its perpetuation. In fact, neither the band's driving brand of pop, nor the fact that Potts was a dead ringer, vocally, for Hook's former band member Bernard Sumner, exactly hurt: many people, upon first hearing tracks like \"Shine\" and \"What Do You Want From Me?\", simply assumed they were advance salvos from some soon-to-be-released New Order album. As a collection of songs, Music For Pleasure is unexpectedly strong, with \"Sweet Lips\" and \"Junk\" fully indulging Hook's Euro-disco leanings. Suffice it to say that no New Order fan should be without it. --Andrew McGuire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41109352087649,"sku":"0731453724228","price":6.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_2086520_6052045.jpg?v=1729020309","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0731453724228-monaco-music-for-pleasure","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
