Monaco is the second studio album by rock band Monaco, a side project of New Order bassist Peter Hook. It was released in 2000 and reached No. 84 in the UK. The album was provided 2 singles. The first single is "I've Got A Feeling", but later was rejected in the UK, due to sample clearances. The second single is "See-Saw”, as a limited 12" single.
When the album was recorded, their previous label Polydor Records rejected this album to be released, due to changing trends in music at the time. In a money saving move, the label opted to focus on more commercially successful artists.[1] Papillon Records agreed to release the album,[2] though the planned single release of "I've Got A Feeling" was recalled in the UK due to sample clearance issues. "See-Saw" was later released as a limited run 12" single.[3] Despite favorable reviews, the album was released with little to no promotion, and has become a collectible item.
All songs by Peter Hook and David Potts.
