Plastic (New Order song)

"Plastic" is a song by the British rock band New Order, released as a B-side to their single "Crystal" in 2001. It also appears on the album Get Ready, also released in 2001. The track is a largely instrumental, electronic piece characterized by its driving beat, atmospheric synth pads, and a distinctive, almost hypnotic melody. It is considered a strong example of New Order's continued exploration of electronic music elements, blending them with their traditional rock instrumentation. Though not a single in its own right, "Plastic" has become a popular track among fans and is often highlighted as one of the stronger B-sides in the band's extensive discography. Its energetic and danceable nature makes it a frequent inclusion in DJ sets and mixes featuring New Order's music. The song’s title, while seemingly simple, doesn't appear to have any overt lyrical or thematic connection to the instrumental content.
