Description

Joy Divisionの1stアルバム。あまりにも有名なジャケットはマンチェスター出身のグラフィック・デザインの巨匠ピーターサヴィル作で、星が消滅する時の波長なのだという。
工業的なギターの音に無機質なドラム、そして押し殺したように低い故イアン・カーティスの歌声。それらは70sマンチェスターという寒い工業地帯が産んだ初期衝動のポストパンクである。Factory Records設立時からの主要人物マーティン・ハネットによりプロデュースされたサウンドは無慈悲なまでに暗く、Popさを排除した仕上がりとなっている。それは当時の流行りプログレッシヴ・ロックに辟易していた若者達によるスタイリッシュな反抗なのではないだろうか。(ushiro/ Tecchu Co.,Ltd.)

What is left to be written about the debut Joy Division album that hasn't been written already? Well, not much except to say if you've never heard it, you must. This is the more raw of the two studio albums, powered mainly by the foundations laid down by bassist Peter Hook and drummer Stephen Morris. But although the rudimentary electronic experimentalism of its successor Closer are missing - with the possible exception of 'She's Lost Control' - Martin Hannett's production job creates an uneasy world of magical reverbs and echoes that lure in the listener. From its iconic, Peter Saville sleeve to classic songs like 'Shadowplay' and 'Interzone' - which started life as a cover of Nolan Porter's Northern Soul cult hit 'Keep On Keeping On' - this is the template that effectively launched a thousand bands, from indie and post punk to goth and beyond.
