New Order
In 2001, Cunningham joined New Order, once again as a touring musician as replacement for Gillian Gilbert who had stepped back from live commitments in order to care for her children. At this point New Order were touring Get Ready, their first album in eight years, and were enjoying a renaissance, hence played shows in Europe, Japan and the US. Cunningham remained part of New Order beyond his initial role as a touring musician for the 2005 album Waiting for the Sirens' Call, where he made his recording and co-writing debut with the band.
From 2007 to 2011 the band were on hiatus, but Cunningham was once again part of New Order's 2011 reunion concerts, this time with Gilbert returning to the band too, and continued to perform with the band during the world tour of 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word order:
“Feminism, like Boston, is a state of mind. It is the state of mind of women who realize that their whole position in the social order is antiquated, as a woman cooking over an open fire with heavy iron pots would know that her entire housekeeping was out of date.”
—Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)
“From cradle to grave this problem of running order through chaos, direction through space, discipline through freedom, unity through multiplicity, has always been, and must always be, the task of education, as it is the moral of religion, philosophy, science, art, politics and economy; but a boy’s will is his life, and he dies when it is broken, as the colt dies in harness, taking a new nature in becoming tame.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
