...embracing and perfecting their own legacy. The result is as relaxed and upbeat as Sumner's current incarnation. "I'm just a happier person, and that contentment shows in the music," he explains, sipping tea in a Paris studio dressing room before taping a performance for French TV channel Canal Plus last week. But despite the unapologetic joy that propelled the album's first single, Krafty, into the U.K. Top 10, Sumner warns that New Order haven't completely abandoned their early edgy electronics and somber lyrics.

"We're in the thick of the battle for the survival of wine as an expression of individual complexity, up against the complex forces of homogenization," he says over a 2003 Fleurie and a hearty meal at Le Verre Volé, an artisanal wine bar near Paris' Canal St. Martin. He claims there are no villains in his piece, but audiences might come to a different conclusion after watching Nossiter's interviews with figures representing those very forces of homogenization. High-end vintners from France to California hire Michel Rolland, a supremely confident consultant from Pomerol in the Bordeaux...
