Joy Division...who knew? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

OK, I recently stumbled on the movie Control, and have discovered the band Joy Division. Only two record released before the lead singer killed himself and the remainder formed New Order.

I am frankly blown away by this music. It is not like New Order at all, it was way ahead of the curve, depressing, powerful, cements itself into your brain. "Isolation" "Control" "Transmission" "Love will Tear us Apart" and many others are just amazing songs.

I highly recommend that you check out both the movie "Control" and the band Joy Division.

This is absurdly LTTP, but I have had the greatest hits on continuous replay for over a week straight.

Anyone else listen to these musical geniuses?

I do enjoy their work.

Only for about 20 odd years.

Love a couple of there tracks.
You may enjoy a film called 24 Hour Party People, which is a story of Tony Wilson i guess the founder of Factory and its ideals, freatures Joy Division and the Happy Mondays and the Hacienda.

Some of the best music ever made, utterly fixating stuff.

Plenty of cracking books to read about the Manc music scene and Factory records as well, the background stories are as good as the music!

I am now.

I've heard the name Joy Division many times and have heard some of their songs without knowing it was Joy Division.

Thanks for the nudge, am enjoying.

I absolutely love the band. Have listened to them for over 15 years.

It's funny when people find out that New Order is related to them in any way. Check out some of the early New Order albums...they have a similar flavour. In fact, the first single by them was originally two songs written by Joy Division but never fully recorded in a studio when Ian was still alive.

Both his and Dwayne Goettel's (from Skinny Puppy) deaths frustrate me to no end when I think about what could've been...
