Confusion is a single released by British group New Order in August 1983 with the catalogue number FAC 93. It was the follow-up to their massive club hit "Blue Monday". The song is produced by influential New York DJ Arthur Baker. As a result it was recorded in New York, a first for the band, and the video was also shot in the city. Three remixes served as b-sides on the initial 12" release: "Confused Beats", "Confusion Instrumental" and "Confusion Rough Mix".
A re-recorded "Confusion" as well as the original "Confusion Instrumental" appear on the group's 1987 Substance release. The track reappeared in 1998 as part of the Blade film soundtrack with a radical techno remix known as the "Pump Panel Reconstruction Mix", which had previously appeared on the 1995 remix collection, The Rest of New Order. This was sampled by Public Domain as the basis for "Operation Blade", a UK #5 in 2000.
