New Order / Joy Division – Total (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
The thread connecting Joy Division's stark post-punk to New Order's synthesizer-driven dance music is one of the more remarkable pivots in rock history, the same Manchester musicians channeling grief into reinvention. Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, and Stephen Morris carried the weight of Curtis's legacy while building a sound that would influence club culture for decades. Collecting both bands on a single set puts that transformation in sharp relief.
Double vinyl LP pressing. Despite an incredibly short recording career Joy Division remarkably have stood the test of time in terms of influential British bands. Their dark, brooding sound has inspired more artists than could be listed and their continued adoration today is testament to the forward thinking yet inward projected music and lyricism of a young band on the brink of success yet unsure of how to deal with it. With the sad passing of Ian Curtis, from the ashes rose New Order; the same core band but with a new fresh approach to their chosen career path. Loud, colorful and full of life.
