I remember hearing Joy Division in 1980 and thinking how different they sounded with their strange amalgamation of punk, electronica and European Modernism. Although their second album 'Closer' was really their breakthrough I always preferred 'Unknown Pleasures'. Standout songs are the uncharacteristically upbeat 'Disorder', the sturm und drang of 'Day of the Lords', the despairing heavy metal of 'New Dawn Fades' and 'Candidate' with its ghostly, hovering guitar and bleakly resigned lyrics. ...

Thirty years on from its release, 'Unknown Pleasures' is still startling in its bleak beauty and undiminished power. In 'Candidate' and 'Insight' we hear music of almost Classical harmony within the vice-grip of the group's morbidly industrial atmosphere. I wasn't a big fan of JD at the time of this album, but over the years this extraordinary music has crept into my nervous system!
This is not music to 'love'; I think it's more accurate to say that one should applaud the group's single ... Read More

Many things have been said about Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures, and yet so many things have been left unsaid or cannot be said. This is an another-worldly record, so of its time and yet transcending it; so shaped by the creaking, decrepit Britain of the late 1970s, new wave, Northern soul and yet pointing to timeless qualities.
I just remember when this album came out - and reading the generally positive review in Record Mirror at the time (hey, I was also reading NME and Sounds at the ... Read More

only bought this on the strength of watching the film "control".
j.d have to be one of the most hypnotic bands that i have heard for years. the live cd that comes with the package is just sublime. a real live performance with little production, just raw sounds and emotions. ian curtis is actually reminiscent of jim morrisson from the doors 9sure plenty will disagree with this view)
buy it now.....

It's not very often I can say that I was there at the beginning, but it was certainly the case with Joy Division. I bought Unknown Pleasures shortly after its release, on the advice of a friend and was immediately hooked, and I remember well how devastated I felt when John Peel announced on radio 1 in May 1980 that Curtis was dead.
This is the Joy Division album in my opinion. The second and last album, Closer, is a lot darker, and almost a suicide note. It seems to me that Ian Curtis knew ... Read More
