Free Music Notes for Unknown Pleasures
Free Music Review: one of a kind
Hit: 5 Stars
Many people reguard Closer as the best Joy Division album,but i find Unknown Pleasures to be the better of the two studio albums. In Rolling Stones top 500 albums of all time,Closer was ranked 157. Unknown Pleasures should of been in the top 25.They broke alot of ground with this offering;from Martin Hannett's legandary production to the first use of the energy of punk channeled into a deeper lyric and sublimely dark music. The way the album was recored by Hannett had only been done a few times before;isolating the drums,bass,guitar,and vocals on different channels and then mixed together. The first use of a digital delayer was used as well;a machine Martin Hannett helped design. It is well documented that besides Ian,all the other members of Joy Division didn't like the way Unknown Pleasures sounded,at the time,feeling like the recording lost the energy of their live sound;they also felt like the album was too dark and hard to listen to because of the blackness surrounding the tracks,but thirty years later they can all finally agree,the album is groundbreaking. The way it was recorded has made it timeless and impossible to be dated. Unknown Pleasures has inspired countless artists and producers since its release. Joy Divisions dark cavernous spaces and ever darker lyrics are deeply envoking and stir the heart and soul within the listener;sublimely dark,intimate,and very haunting. A message crafted by their legendary front-man,Ian Curtis.A man who was the bands eyes and ears;a man who used a public-artform,music,to air-out his worries,problems,inner demons,medical problems,and failing marriage. The courage that took,i still cant wrap my mind around. Their music defined a time and place and is still relevent today;it still sounds modern seeing it came from the 70s. Unknown Pleasures is my favorite album of all time. This collectors edition comes with a live show at the Factory,Joy Division's home turf,on July 13, 1979. A show in front of about 400 people to promote their new album,Unknown Pleasures,unknown pleasures it most diffenitely is. It's a fine show,but like most of Joy Division's live shows,the recording could of been better;but many live recordings from the 70s are like this,not as clear as we are use to in this day and age. Les Bains Douches is the best live Joy Division show that can be found on Amazon;a must have,since there are two stories to Joy Divisions'music;studio albums and live material. Joy Division is not for the faint of heart or the casual listener;they are reserved for those who have a dark streak in their soul that needs to be tamed or fed. "We knocked on the doors of Hells darker chamber,Pushed to the limit,we dragged ourselves in." Ian Curtis, Decades.
