Back in 2020, Welsh electronic musician <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/new-orders-gillian-gilbert-synth-queen-kelly-lee-owens-2775389\">Kelly Lee Owens called for more recognition for the artist<\/a> \u2013 hailing her as a role model and \u201csynth queen\u201d, particularly for her work on \u2018Power, Corruption &amp; Lies\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>That record is widely considered to have helped define the sound of the \u201880s, and marked the shift from a post-punk sound into their unique style of synth-pop. At the time of its release, the record reached Number Four on the UK albums charts, and <em>NME<\/em> later listed it as Number 216 on the 2013 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/new-orders-gillian-gilbert-synth-queen-kelly-lee-owens-2775389\">Speaking to us in 2020 about how that album, and Gilbert in particular, served as a massive source of inspiration<\/a>, Kelly Lee Owens said: \u201cHaving Gillian as the synth queen was fucking amazing, speaking as a woman in music. You can\u2019t be what you can\u2019t see, so to have a woman be a part of something like this and own her part was really inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"New Order - Age of Consent (2020 Remaster) [Official Music Video]\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hZXxmhok1AU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Gilbert then responded to the comments from Owens, and told <em>NME<\/em>: \u201cIt\u2019s weird \u2013 you never think of your work as part of history or influencing people. It was weird when I joined because nobody expected a girl to be brought into the band. They expected another singer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt got better in the \u201890s, but going to Japan in the \u201880s for a photo shoot was a real shock because they didn\u2019t want to talk to me. They\u2019d say to the male members, \u2019Can you tell her to move?\u2019 That was how they treated women in them days. I was just there in the background a lot of the time,\u201d she added. \u201cIt always felt like you were doing [something] special because not many women were playing keyboards or any instruments.
