"Get the Message" is a song by Electronic, the English band formed by Bernard Sumner of New Order and ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr.
It was the second single from their 1991 debut album Electronic and was a commercial success around the world. It is a good example of Marr and Sumner's original concept of mixing the fluid synthesizers of New Order with The Smiths' rich guitar sound.
Marr composed the music then Sumner wrote the lyric as engineer Owen Morris played him the song every four bars.[1] Marr was reluctant to layer multiple guitar parts as he was wary of treading ground, but Sumner convinced him otherwise.[2]
During recording, Primal Scream vocalist Denise Johnson added a vocal at the end of the song.[3] She went on to provide additional vocals on a number of songs on Electronic's second album Raise the Pressure five years later.[4][a]
The single was issued in the UK on 7-inch, 12-inch, CD and cassette by Factory Records on 15 April 1991 (and two weeks later as a second 12-inch comprising two additional remixes by DNA), and as a three-format maxi single and standard cassette by Warner Bros. Records in the USA.
