@@jkbezo1 The best band that "The New Wave " (of Rock music ) produced . Goth (Bauhaus) came after JD had recorded their debut album. Post Punk is an Ex Post facto term that was used a generation after the late 70's new wave explosion. it originally referred to a period in time eg the period after punk. But is now used as a genre by chiefly American people . Who call Pop bands like The Thompson Twins and Culture club New Wave. Utter nonsense and an insult to proper new wave bands like Magazine, The Only Ones, Simple Minds, The Cure and of course the greatest of the lot = JD.

About "She's Lost Control" from Wikipedia: "Curtis primarily drew the lyrical inspiration for "She's Lost Control" from a young woman with whom he had become acquainted through his employment as an Assistant Disablement Resettlement Officer at a Macclesfield occupational rehabilitation centre between 1978 and 1979. The woman had epilepsy and had been desperate to find employment, yet she suffered seizures whenever she came to the exchange, which would greatly disturb Curtis, who himself suffered from epilepsy. At one stage, this young woman ceased attending her appointments at the occupational rehabilitation centre. Initially, Curtis assumed she had found a job, but he would later discover she had died of an epileptic seizure. The woman's unexpected death and Curtis' subsequent awareness and experiences of the stigma endured by individuals suffering from neurological impairments formed the lyrical inspiration for the song."

Great reaction - love that album- one of the best debut albums of that era. They have been recently nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of fame- their next album, Closer, is darker (seen more as his suicide note before his tragic death) but is also considered a masterpiece of post-punk music.

She's Lost Control is basically about Ian's own epilepsy pushed onto a new person lyrically. But that was him, no doubt. I knew someone with. Every now and again she would slump over and vibrate entirely out of her control just randomly. Not that often. Often enough. She explained and coached me to get better at calming people. "It's okay. She's having a seizure. It's epilepsy. She's okay." Look people in the eye. Explain. Convince. As an introvert that was challenging, but absolutely necessary so I did it. You needed to make sure everybody else watching didn't freak out too hard. Calm the crowd. Spread peace. I admired her. I could not do what she did. Walk about. I would be terrified and withdraw from society entirely. Good on her!

That’s not true I’m afraid. Ian wrote it after seeing a girl have a seizure in front of him. Watch the biopic “Control” for a pretty realistic account of Ian and Joy Division.

Martin Hannet produced Unknown Pleasures, Closer and the first couple of Joy Division's next incarnation, New Order. Hannett is credited with creating the band's sound and really , the entire Post Punk sound. He was ahead of his time. One of the reasons the album is so unique, especially for 1979, is because he insisted on complete instrumental isolation. The members of Joy Division all had to play their particular bits in complete isolation and in the case of Stephen Morris, the drummer, he had to play ONE drum at a time with no timing track. There's a true story where Martin Hannet made Morris take his drum kit apart to find a phantom squeak which no one else but he could hear. Over forty years later and hundreds of albums which Unknown Pleasures inspired sound dated but Unknown Pleasures doesn't sound dated at all.

Woah, Joy division great start to the Post-Punk genre. I recommended reacting to Pere Ubu’s first album “The Modern Dance”. Post punk is broad genre of many sounds of punk, disco, funk, goth, electronic, free jazz, dub reggae, noise, and industrial. Pere Ubu heavily influenced the post punk genre and bands like: Joy division, Gang of Four, public image Ltd, Wire, Mission of Burma, Bauhaus, etc were influenced by them. Pere Ubu are more Avant garde, rock, art punk and sort of experimental rock. I thought after you reacted to King Crimson and Joy Division. Pere Ubu Maybe another react to. Thanks for the reaction and have a great one👍

Putting Blade Runner on mute, at the point Deckard reaches the roof, start Insight. The "lazer" sounds become Tears in Rain: Hannett's incidental factory sounds begin as windmills spin and hatch opens. Roy, seeing Deckard holding on, has "seen them all as they fall... yet we remember when we were young." Saving Deckard means "more upheaval... All God's angels beware!" Scene ends with rain (lazer sounds) subsiding, and dove fluttering among the warehouses.

Bit of a late comment but i always think its worth noting that originally, the band members didn't really liked this album when it came out, they felt like their producer had messed too much with the sound and sounded nothing like they originally wanted. Same thing happened with their second album later. Maybe because at the time part of the sounds they were influenced by was in the height of punk but they have since come around to appreciate what they did together as joy division .
