joy division fans

Post by inx515xhell » Sat Sep 05, 2009 3:56 pm

so i was at a show with jim about a month back and i heard what i thought was a neurosis cover playing over the pa. so i asked the dude running sound and he said neurosis actually covered day of the lords. so i just downloaded closer, unknown pleasures, and an ideal for living and was wondering if some of you could point me towards other good stuff they have done.
thanks!

That's the best of it right there... there's a good box set called Heart and Soul, too. Of course you could always grab some earlier New Order stuff which is pretty similar. Brotherhood and Substance would be good choices for NO... Substance has a lot of songs that were originally Joy Division songs.

yeah, those are the only three records you need. other than that it's mostly just reissues/comps/bullshit unnecessary releases.

tyler if you like that you should also listen to New Order's Power Corruption Lies album. It's Joy Division without Ian Curtis. Brilliant shit. I'm glad you're getting into Joy Division.

Look for a cd called Warsaw. Sometimes it's under Joy Division, sometimes it's just Warsaw. It's their first album, only available as a bootleg I think. More of a punk sound.

Also, as far as New Order is concerned, Movement is mostly Joy Division songs that they never recorded, as is the single Ceremony/In a Lonely Place, which is one of the best singles ever. And any live New Order bootlegs from 81/82 is great.

tyler you should also watch the movie 24 Hour Party People if you haven't seen it. It covers Joy Division and a bunch of other bands from that music scene. There are some other great bands in that movie, for instance a Certain Ratio, they sound like a funkier Joy Division.

YES control. your right. it was based on the book by his wife it was all from her angle which i would say was outside of the band. i probably wouldve like the movie more if i didnt like Joy Division as much as i do
