What's amazing to me is how this musical unit grows from say 1979 to 1983. To get from the "closer" album to 'blue Monday' in just 3 years is a pretty big aesthetic leap. Would/could they have made it with Curtis is the eternal unanswerable question.
From what I remember New Order mentioned that they had started to visit gay clubs to hear the music....certainly it's easy to hear Sylvester's influence on 'Blue Monday'.
