Joy Division / New Order thread

Cheers. Duly noted.

Sorry to ask this again, but as someone who never listened to NO (I felt so bereft of JD after Curtis), I feel I ought to give them a go, after all these years. Which CDs should I start with? I swear I'll note it down this time.

I'd listen to the first four albums, ideally in order:

Movement
Power Corruption and Lies
Lowlife
Brotherhood.

If I had to nominate one as their best it would be Lowlife. That's the definitive mid 80s New Order sound of a band at their peak IMO.

Lowlife my favourite as well. Great record

Fuck, just listened to "These Days" loud and on good headphones, and realised that it actually grooves harder than "Love Will Tear Us Apart Again". Something to do with Hooky's bass line being very clear in the mix, and everything being stripped right down by Hannett.

 

[Justin Bieber]

Try these, a nice blend of both

Debut album of the year. More people need to hear Working Men's Club

I've not listened to Joy Division for ages but been playing the over the last few days. I've never really paid much attention to Walked In Line before and now wondering how I had ever over looked it. Amazing stuff.

The thing is, there's a few groups from the 70s and 80s who I used to be very fond of, and I find they've aged very badly. JD simply don't age. The music sounds every bit as groundbreaking and new now as forty years ago. That's the definition of a classic.

They're apparently supporting New Order at Heaton Park next June.
