Years ago, I was standing in a record store, getting ready to purchase what would become one of my favourite records of all time. The good news is that I bought a copy of

• Mar 15, 2012 Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures. If that were all Unknown Pleasures was, it wouldn't be discussed so much, but the ten songs inside, quite simply, are stone-cold.

Mar 14, 2014 Joy Division 1: Unknown Pleasures While not every punk band was ignorant musically, the genre did inspire many to pick up instruments and learn as they go. That’s pretty much what happened with Joy Division, a band that literally self-destructed on the eve of their arrival in America. No this blog post is not about how nice JavaScript can be, instead it’s just another one of my attempts at reproducing modern art with procedural generation and the HTML5 element. This time I randomly generated images resembling the cover of the album by Joy Division called “Unknown Pleasures”.

Unknown Pleasures. The bad news is that I bought a cassette copy instead of the vinyl! That was an epic mistake. I remember listening to a Doctor Deadwax video on Youtube where he reported a similar experience. If I remember correctly, he had a copy of a Flock of Seagulls LP in one hand and a vinyl copy of Unknown Pleasures in the other, and he walked out with the former. That was another epic mistake.
So, my first copy of this record was on cassette. I later picked up an early-80s pressing of this on vinyl. As much as I'd like to have an original pressing, it's not critical. I think the recent 180 gram reissues (from the original master tapes) are good quality too, and those can be had for under $25.
When I purchased the cassette tape, I had only heard She's Lost Control, but I was immediately enamored with Disorder, which may still be my favourite Joy Division track. This record may well be the greatest debut record of all time.
Allmisic says this: '...the ten songs inside, quite simply, are stone-cold landmarks, the whole album a monument to passion, energy, and cathartic despair.'
And then there is this statement, none of which can be argued against by any serious music fan: 'Pick any song: the nervous death dance of 'She's Lost Control'; the harrowing call for release 'New Dawn Fades,' all four members in perfect sync; the romance in hell of 'Shadowplay'; 'Insight' and its nervous drive toward some sort of apocalypse. All visceral, all emotional, all theatrical, all perfect -- one of the best albums ever.' [source] I couldn't agree more and I couldn't have said it better.
Unknown Pleasures deserves praise for the jacket as well. It's a brilliant example of minimal, understated design. This record is simply fantastic, a real classic, a true desert island disc.
Some time ago, I watched this live show by Peter Hook and the Light. Man, did they ever nail the sound. But, I have to say that I am not in love with Peter's vocals. Still, you should watch it.
