Welcome is Ott's appreciation of Unknown Pleasures, Joy Division's debut album (a work of "unparalleled drama and scope," Ott raves). The short-lived Joy Division's career has often been shrouded by myths. But the truth is surprisingly simple: over a period of several months, Joy Division transformed themselves from run-of-the-mill punk wannabes into the creators of one of the most atmospheric, disturbing, and influential debut albums ever recorded. Chris Ott carefully picks apart fact from fiction to show how Unknown Pleasures came into being, and how it still resonates so strongly today.

Abstract There is a dark mythology surrounding the post-punk band Joy Division that tends to foreground the personal history of lead singer Ian Curtis. However, when evaluating the construction of Joy Division’s public image, the contributions of several other important figures must be addressed. This thesis shifts focus onto the peripheral figures who played key roles in the construction and perpetuation of Joy Division’s image. The roles of graphic designer Peter Saville, of television presenter and Factory Records founder Tony Wilson, and of photographers Kevin Cummins and Anton Corbijn will stand as examples in this discussion of cultural intermediaries and collaborators in popular music.

De La Música, Lo Bello Y Las Sombras. La Compleja Relación De Joy Division Con La Estética De Lo Oscuro
149 De la música, lo bello y las sombras. La compleja relación de Joy Division con la estética de lo oscuro Dr. Pompeyo Pérez Díaz Universidad de La Laguna Resumen El papel de Joy Division como uno de los grupos impulsores del rock gótico es difícilmente discutible. Sin embargo, los rasgos sono- ros y estéticos de su propuesta presentan notables diferencias con otras bandas referenciales de dicha corriente, como Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Cure o Bauhaus. Los seguidores de estas, sin embar- go, siempre se mostraron receptivos hacia sus letras, su música y sus austeros conciertos. Hay algo extremo y/o radical en su plantea- miento que es percibido como oscuro por naturaleza. Este vínculo entre Joy Division y una estética gótica más canónica se vio refor- zado por un suceso inesperado, la muerte de Ian Curtis. Su suicidio consolidó el proceso de conversión de Joy Division en una banda de culto al tiempo que otorgó una “credibilidad” excepcional a la carga poética de las letras y al sonido descarnado de su música.

How Joy Division Came to Sound Like Manchester: Myth and Ways of Listening in the Neoliberal City
Journal of Popular Music Studies, Volume 25, Issue 1, Pages 56–76 How Joy Division Came to Sound Like Manchester: Myth and Ways of Listening in the Neoliberal City Leonard Nevarez Vassar College Manchester, England, is among the most well-known cities today for the creation and celebration of popular music, thanks in no small part to the group Joy Division. Among the first bands to be associated with a postpunk aesthetic, Joy Division eschewed punk’syouthful rage and unrelenting din for an expansive, anthemic sound distinguished by its dynamic scope, machinic pulses, and by singer Ian Curtis’ssonorous baritone and existential lyrics. As the first significant band to sustain a career in Manchester, thus bypassing the music industry headquartered in London, Joy Division is also recognized as pioneering the DIY tradition that has famously characterized Manchester’s musical economy over the last four decades. The group didn’t achieve this alone; the role of Manchester label Factory Records is well documented, as, increasingly, is the foundation laid by the city’s networks of musicians, scene participants, and cultural institutions (see Crossley; Botta).´ Yet these local facts don’t quite explain the contemporary resonance of Joy Division’s Manchester roots for music fans and city boosters today. Perhaps more than any other Mancunian band, Joy Division are claimed to sound like Manchester, at least the Manchester of a certain era. That is, the group did not just originate from the late 1970s Manchester of deindustrialization, carceral housing estates, Thatcherism, and punk’s youthful refusal; nor do they simply illustrate a recurring Mancunian ethos of creative pluck and insouciant disregard for London’s cultural hegemony (Haslam, Manchester, England).

Understanding Joy Division Martin J. Power, Aileen Dillane and Eoin
This is the way, Step inside: Understanding Joy Division Martin J. Power, Aileen Dillane and Eoin Devereux Joy Division On the 30th of July 1980, three musicians - Peter Hook, Steven Morris and Bernard Sumner - took to the small stage of The Beach Club at Oozits Bar in Shudehill, Manchester. With what might be best described as ‘gallows humour’, Sumner introduced the band as being the last surviving members of Crawling Chaos (New Order Net 2018).1 Their short set consisted of five songs. It must have been a particularly difficult gig for the musicians to play, as just eleven week’s earlier their close friend and Joy Division band-mate Ian Curtis had committed suicide on the eve of their first tour of the United States. Curtis’s unexpected death marked the premature end of one of the most important and most influential post-punk bands. Joy Division was no more. Strictly speaking, Joy Division existed for only two and a half years. Formed in Salford, over twenty-nine months the band wrote and recorded forty-three songs and played one hundred and twenty gigs (see Joy Division Official 2018). The 1976 punk explosion served as an initial catalyst for Sumner and Hook to form a band - temporarily called Stiff Kittens. This was soon followed by the adoption of the name Warsaw, inspired by David Bowie’s ‘Warszawa’ and further changes in membership. The final line up of Curtis (vocals); Hook (bass); Sumner (guitar, keys) and Morris (drums) performed and recorded as Warsaw in the second half of 1977. However, the existence of a punk band called Warsaw Pakt convinced them to change their name to avoid any confusion and in January 1978 they played their first ever gig under the name Joy Division.

Don Dombowsky IAN CURTIS and the GERMAN AUTUMN1
Don Dombowsky IAN CURTIS AND THE GERMAN AUTUMN1 he lyrics of Ian Curtis have typically been interpreted in two ways: either as a somber illustration of his psychological struggles (including his struggle with epilepsy) emphasizing his personal, ‘inner world’ T 2 and recognizing ‘his words as a literal cry for help’; or as a social and political reﬂ ection of Manchester’s desolate, post-industrial spaces and of the economic and political transformations attending the emergence of the Thatcher era and its ‘authoritarian populism’,3 capturing the frustration and despair of the British working class and their ‘winter of discontent’. This concluding perspective is expressed in a most evocative way by Jon Savage who wrote in a Melody Maker review of Unknown Pleasures in 1979— explaining both Joy Division’s sonic idiom and the sensibility infusing the lyrics of Ian Curtis— that Joy Division’s spatial, circular themes’ [were a] ‘perfect reﬂ ection of Manchester’s dark spaces and empty places: endless sodium lights... vacant industrial sites— the endless detritus of the 19th century... [communicating] the reactions of individuals caught in a trap they dimly perceive— anger, paranoia, alienation, feelings of thwarted power... [and] control everywhere. 4 And by Chris Ott as well, by the time of his writing expressing the by then standard view that as personal and emotional as Curtis’s lyrics were, the sense of despair and frustration that they conveyed had broad implications in the England of the late 1970s, where hopelessness was a very real sensation. The economic downturn resulted in labor strikes ranging from garbage workers to nurses to gravediggers.5 1 This essay appeared in the form of a didactic poem in: Epizootics! Online Literary Journal for the Contemporary Animal.

“I Exist on the Best Terms I Can” Joy Division's Closer and Hauntology
“I Exist on the Best Terms I Can” Joy Division's Closer and Hauntology Ian Mathers I haven't really been paying much attention to the various discussions about hauntology, but this chimes with what I like about people like <a href=http://k- punk.abstractdynamics.org/archives/007666.html>Burial</a>; the eeriness that time adds to what would previously have been a trivial part of the everyday background.1 The problem with ghosts is not that they won't shut up, but rather that it took death to get them to speak up in the first place.2 1. “The gaps are enormous, we stare from each side” When we talk about hauntology, the study not of being but of absence and the perception of that absence, the recorded must be of urgent concern to us. It might sound trivial, but there is a very real sense in which Derrida could not have had his insight about the need for a study of ghosts if he lived in a pre-recorded world – if, indeed, such a world has ever been real for us. From cave paintings onwards humankind has always doubled and re-doubled reality, existing as much on the level of our own reflections of reality as the level of that reality itself.3 We deal at least as much in the not-actual as the actual; in a very tangible sense we exist there. Note the persistent rumour that when the Lumière Brothers first showed a film of an oncoming train the audience ran for their lives,4 or the way people tend to accept photos non-critically as “real,” although this is changing in the age of Photoshop.

Making Rock History out of Ian Curtis and Joy Division
Liminalities: A Journal of Performance Studies Vol. 9, No. 4, November 2013 When Performance Lost Control: Making Rock History out of Ian Curtis and Joy Division J. Rubén Valdés Miyares 1. “Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now”1 This is a case study of the continuities between living, performing and writing. When Ian Curtis hanged himself at the age of 23, tortured by epilepsy, medication, fear and remorse; having just started a promising career as singer and songwriter for the band Joy Division, after releasing two intriguing long plays and a hit single called “Love Will Tear Us Apart”, and about to embark on their first American tour, he was stag- ing his ultimate performance. The act turned him into a cult figure, as it gave an eerie resonance to the increasingly gloomy lyrics he had written for his band. Music journalists began to write about Joy Division in a more vivid, dramatic way. People who had never seen the band perform live, or even heard of them while Curtis was alive, became fans. Joy Division was hailed in their native Manchester, England, as youthful symbols of the postmodern city, and in the rest of the world as founders of the gothic rock scene. They were subsequently the subject of biographies, biopics and documentaries which focused particularly on Curtis’s personality, and the main webpage devoted to the band (joydivisioncentral.com) lists about twenty Joy Division tribute bands performing their songs, while Youtube enables fans and critics to watch the band perform at several gigs on very low quality footage, and much more visually appealing clips of actor Sam Riley performing as Ian Curtis in the biopic about him, Control (2007).

Black Metal and Satanism
chapter 12 Satan the Musician: Black Metal and Satanism The Gothic Milieu The Gothic milieu, occasionally called the Dark Wave, as a sub-milieu of the 1970s’ New Wave, was largely created by rock music, although fiction, comics, movies, and role-playing games also had a relevant influence. Although the term “Gothic” was created by outsiders, it was quickly accepted by the move- ment. Gothic music should not be confused with Heavy Metal. Metal played on the power of extreme human emotions and feelings. Gothic concentrated on human reactions to particular emotions associated with death, corpses, blood, the macabre, and vampires. The Devil was often mentioned but he was not always a key player in the Gothic scene. Besides, Satan was mentioned in many brands of rock music that were not Gothic. Sympathy for the Devil, a 1968 song by the Rolling Stones where the Devil tells his story in the first person as a “man of wealth and taste” is just one among many examples. Music critic Peter Bebergal argued that occult and Satanic themes in fact revitalized rock music in the late 1960s and early 1970s, offering the Rolling Stones as an example.1 The reverse is also true: music, and other forms of popular culture, somewhat revitalized Satanism.2 The origins of Gothic came from many different sources. Gothic themes emerged in the late 1960s in England and the United States with artists and groups like Alice Cooper (pseud. of Vincent Damon Furnier), Coven, and Black Widow. Almost simultaneously, the most ancient significant references to Satan were introduced to rock music by Coven, an American psychedelic rock band founded in Chicago in 1967, which explicitly sought the patronage of the Church of Satan,3 and Black Widow, a British group in the progressive rock cur- rent that debuted in Leicester in 1970 as the new version of a band active from 1 Peter Bebergal, Season of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll, New York: Jeremy P.
