Joy Division -- Unknown Pleasures

  One of the most dark, dismal and brilliant records ever made ... Eno meets Punk Rock!  Joy Division's short career produced some of the most game changing music.  There's a Kafkaesque bleak futuristic sound to their music, like a band from dystopia ... unfortunately Ian Curtis practiced what he preached, but fortunately their producer extraordinaire Martin Hannett, was able to capture the group at their best, whether they liked it or not!
