Free Music Notes for CloserFree Music Review: Fantastic Album, worth all of your pennies.. Hit: 5 Stars
This is the better of the two Joy Division albums, though their first is an excellent album itself. This music is just so charged with the intense feelings of Ian Curtis, you can't possibly describe how heavy this album is. I won't say more. Just go and buy it. It is worth your money, it is worth your time, and if you can, go see the movie Control and enjoy Joy Division. Music this good cannot go unheard.
Free Music Review: "CLOSER", Joy Divison, two disc, collector's edition. Hit: 5 Stars
The overall sound quality, was quite good on the studio recording of "Closer". Although, since the band doesn't have a lot of material, you've probably heard, these songs before. The live record, was a good performance, but the sound wasn't exceptional.
Free Music Review: Another concert unearthed Hit: 4 Stars
A remastered version of Joy Division's second [and last] official album. The second disc features a live show from 1980--unfortunately there are few left in existence and sound quality is always an issue. Great to have another one however.
Recommendations for JD in studio, etc. still are the 'Heart and Soul' box [if you can afford it] and 'Substance' [if you can't]. 'Closer' is a great album, but I prefer JD without P. Hammett strangling their sound. You will get tracks from it on both of these compilations.
Speaking of a live disc, the best is still 'Les Bains Douches 18 December 1979'. Absolute classic that captures the amazing power of this band.
Free Music Review: Live CD is off speed, runs fast. Hit: 3 Stars
The live CD is recorded too fast. I have had to use editing software to slow it down, why couldn't the manufacturer do this?
