5.0 out of 5 stars post punk noise = bliss, 24 Sep 2003
By Jay Oh (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Joy Division were a band known for sounding somewhat bleak, and this live album captures that with astounding intensity. It's not easy listening or even enjoyable, per se, but something about the music grabs you by the throat and forces its way in to your affections. In terms of sound quality it isn't exactly perfect - at one point the band are, to quote one of Curtis's several bizarrely weighty stage utterances, "playing everything through the bass amp" - but that just adds to the atmosphere.

The band sound harsh and rough, as live albums from this period often do (Bauhaus's 'Press the Eject and Give Me the Tape' is an apt companion CD), but their playing is still very much together. The extended intro to 'The Eternal' perhaps prefigures later New Order instrumentals, with the use of electronics fitting rather than overbearing, as it is throughout the set (except for 'Transmission', which is rather spoiled by huge quantities of radio noise). 'Shadowplay' is vicious and agressive, which works perfectly, as does 'She's Lost Control'. These two tracks alone would make this CD worth buying, but this document of a band and an era works as a fantastic whole and strongly recommended.
