Most supergroups don’t work because they’re a hobby, self-indulgence rarely far away. Electronic were different because, in 1991, Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr badly needed each other. Having been an invaluable foil for The Pretenders and The The, Marr wanted a project that was his responsibility again. With the Haçienda, Factory Records and New Order imploding around him, Sumner was simply chasing something that wouldn’t fall apart if he left it alone for 10 minutes.
