"'Waiting for the Sirens' Call'" is a single released in 2005 by English band New Order. It was released by London Records on 26 September 2005, and was the third single from the album of the same title.

Release



Rather than the typical maxi CD and DVD configuration for the single, "Waiting for the Sirens' Call" was initially released as three separate 7" singles. Each 7" contained a different mix of the single as an A-side. On the B-side, each 7" contained a brand new remix of a classic New Order single. Many saw this as a bridging of the 'Waiting for the Sirens' Call' album and the then-forthcoming 'Singles' compilation. A CD single for "Waiting for the Sirens' Call" followed the three 7" singles, and was released on 3 October 2005. The two-track CD featured full-length remixes of the song.

The song was added to BBC Radio 2's A-List and was also playlisted by Xfm London. It debuted at #21 on the UK Singles Chart, one position lower than New Order's previous single, "Jetstream".
