Crystal (Single)Crystal was the first single off the 2001 New Order album Get Ready, which entered the UK charts at number 8. Singer/guitarist Bernard Sumner originally gifted the song to German record label Mastermind for Success and it was recorded by label artist Corvin Dalek. However, DJ Pete Tong heard the song and declared it to be the best New Order single since "Blue Monday", leading Sumner to reconsider the gift and have New Order record and release it. The video, directed by Johan Renck (otherwise known as Stakka Bo) depicted a young American band miming to New Order's music and words, with a large number of people coming on stage towards the end to pull them off stage. This video is directly responsible for the name of the band The Killers, as that name was written on the bass drum of the fake band in the video. The Killers later lifted a number of elements of the layout of the set from the "Crystal" video for the video for their track "Somebody Told Me". The single was B-sided by a variety of remixes, and an original song titled "Behind Closed Doors".
