Recording and Music
"Everything's Gone Green" is reportedly the first song by the group to contain computer-generated sounds. The song had already been released in an edited form, as a B-side on the single "Procession" in September of the same year. All tracks were produced by Martin Hannett and was last work he did with New Order. Hannett previously produced Movement and both of Joy Division's studio albums. Hannett and the group had worked together fractiously caused by the producer's unorthodox techniques and the band's (especially Sumner's) desire to co-produce. Bernard Sumner remarked retrospectively that "Martin's last track was "Everything's Gone Green" – fact he walked out halfway through the mix because Hooky and me asked him to turn the drums up".
Two original songs, "Cries and Whispers" and "Mesh" are included as B-sides. Both have been commonly mis-titled on releases by the group. The track names of the B-sides are correctly identified on the label, but are in the wrong order on the sleeve. This led to their being misidentified on subsequent releases; for example, the track identified as "Mesh" on the CD version of the Substance compilation is actually "Cries and Whispers".
