Frente! took New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle", the song Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert put out in 1986, and remade it for Marvin the Album in 1994. Where New Order's original came draped in electronics, this version trades the dance floor for something smaller and more intimate, a pocket-sized reading that lets the melody's ache come through.

Angie Hart, Simon Austin and Phil Jones produced it, and Michael Koppelman recorded it with the band and handled the mix. Rock stations held on to it for two decades afterwards.
