"Fine Time" is a song by New Order released in 1988 and the first single from their 1989 album Technique. The b-side "Fine Line" is simply the a-side without Bernard Sumner's vocals.


The US 12" version is unusual in that the pattern of beats in the song produces a noticeable swirl effect in the vinyl. It is clear that the pattern is inherent to "Fine Time" since it does not appear within "Don't Do It" which, unlike "Fine Line," is a completely different song.
