FAST FORWARD - STEPHEN MORRIS TASCHENBUCH

Iconic drummer Stephen Morris presses play once more to the tune of the long-awaited second
volume of memoirs . . . Poised on the brink of success  the dizzying heights of the unknown
lying ahead  Ian Curtis had taken his own life. Grieving yet determined  Stephen Morris emerged
from the wreckage of Joy Division to the dawn of something new: a new band  a new tour  a new
beginning. Under the name New Order  Morris and his bandmates set their sights on America  only
to encounter new disasters. Yet  in true northern spirit  not even this sudden tragedy could
dissuade them from following their haphazard path to greatness. Following the highs and lows of
New Order  Fast Forward tracks the changing rhythm of Morris's life and the music that shaped
it. From 'music differences' to the ever-growing Joy Division legacy  music is the constant
beat through the verses of Fast Forward as Morris's personal and professional life grew
increasingly intertwined. This came to a head when his girlfriend was invited to join the band.
Tentatively stepping into their testosterone-filled world  Gillian was the right person at the
right time for New Order. And for Morris. What began as just a trial period in the band spun
into a whirlwind of new projects and experiences  including The Other Two - a project born
during one of New Order's (many) hiatuses. Blending entertaining anecdote with profound
reflection  Fast Forward strips back a lifetime of fame and fortune to tell  with raw honesty 
how New Order threatened to implode time after time. And yet  despite everything  the legacy of
their music continued to hold them together.
