-would request a joy division TopTens from Shaun but i don't know how many votes it'd get outside the three of us :(-

[King Gizzard]

you'd be surprised I think

I have been constantly listening to Joy Division/New Order again over the last few weeks. My obsession has re-raised it's head. Like it ever goes away...

[Ramsay]

DAT JOY DIVISlON :worship:

[LemonJam]

Atmosphere and Love Will Tear Us Apart are both top 20 songs of all time tbh. Atmosphere probably top 5.

[King Gizzard]

kind of random but I think ''Joy Division'' is my favorite band name

[Mrluvaluva]

She's Lost Control is a pretty significant song too. Has a lot of meaning as does Love Will Tear Us Apart. Love Transmission too.

[LemonJam]

A lot of love for Twenty Four Hours recently too

[Mrluvaluva]

Glad to be of service. :tongue:

I'd be in for that.

[LemonJam]

I posted that nearly a year ago haha.

Still...

[Mrluvaluva]

Still...

Was that an intended pun? :suspect:

[LemonJam]

I wish it were now :(

[Shaun]

i listened to unknown pleasures on the train home it was fun...

I am mad fan of Joy Division and Ian Curtis. I love their music, 'love Will Tear Us Apart' and 'Atmosphere' are tracks I play endlessly.

You just wonder what could have been really and I also have Deborah Curtis' book, Touching from a Distance,(Ian Curtis and Joy Division).

So sad and revealing but what a great legacy of music and talent.

[Claymores]

The movie of his short life was pish tho - how to undermine a legend by UK cinematographers

[Mrluvaluva]

I actually found Control quite insightful when I went to see it. I would like to watch it again. Might have a look for the dvd..

[Stu]

Control was excellent. Peter Hook paid it compliments too even though he admitted that some of it was for the movies, so to speak. Perhaps Claymores is thinking of 24 Hour Party People? Which is good fun but mostly just Steve Coogan going around being Steve Coogan for 90 minutes.

Whilst New Order probably musically do more for me as a group, Joy Division just get me. Get me like depressing bands are meant to get people. But I've always just enjoyed depressing bands. Good music is good music and so makes me happy. But no Joy Division actually depress me.

They demand it from you though. It's this weird sadomasochistic kind of symbiotic relationship between listener and artist.

[Shaun]

I liked Control too... wasn't amazing, but kinda authentic and sweet.

Joy Division Reworked
by Heritage Orchestra & Scanner
Monday 30 September 2013 7:30 pm
Liverpool Philharmonic Hall

A totally unique audio-visual collaboration between electronic music pioneer Scanner, the restlessly inventive Heritage Orchestra, and exploratory visual artist Matt Watkins (Beat13) reinterpreting one of the UK’s most influential bands, Joy Division.

This sonic and visual spectacle turns the tables on the conventional concert experience. Rather than classical interpretations or cover versions, Live_Transmission is a fearless dismantling of Joy Division's visual and musical motifs, creating a hugely powerful immersive event that pays homage to one of the world’s most progressive ‘art’ bands.

The entire show pivots around the virtuosic ferocity of drummer Adam Betts, guitarist Matt Calvert (both members of instrumental noise-rock band Three Trapped Tigers) and bassist John Calvert (Ghostpoet). Conductor Jules Buckley battles with equal force using the incomparable strings, brass, voices, and percussion of the Heritage Orchestra in conjunction with the incomparable sounds of Scanner. Huge screens capture the projected artwork of Matt Watkins, with a barrage of visuals that switch between clarity and chaos.
