Power, Corruption and Lies exists in the shadow of two remarkable singles: "Temptation" and "Blue Monday". The first had established the band's emotional signature: a bittersweet rush of hard-won, inarticulate bliss. Many of their most glorious tracks-- "Bizarre Love Triangle", "Run", "Your Silent Face", "Thieves Like Us"-- feel like returns to the well "Temptation" dug, which makes it even more perverse that the 1987 re-recording of that track is an absentee here: The original's greatness is rougher-edged. "Blue Monday", meanwhile, took the icy landscape of Movement-- and hence its loyalist audience-- fully onto the dancefloor. Power, Corruption and Lies works to reconcile these seminal records: It's a spiky take on synth-pop, with some of the group's giddiest music. The uninhibited tumbles of "Age of Consent" and "The Village" suggested a band drunk on possibility; "Your Silent Face" married rhythm and grandeur and anger.
