All, incredibly, by men who were only in their early 20s at the time. Taking a further interest in Joy Division might be the sort of thing that might cause loved ones to keep a concerned eye on you, and doesn’t exactly mark you out as the life and soul of party (particularly not one hosted by Russ Abbott), but I’ve found there is so much more to discover some dazzling, innovative, intense, moving music that I never dreamed would be waiting for me.

You’d heard of the band, you’re aware of their influence and Curtis’s suicide, but your knowledge of their music tended to begin and end one song, the epic, anthemic Love Will Tear Us Apart, which is the closest they even came to having a hit. I’m guessing that if you’ve got this far already, you have a reasonable interest in Joy Division, so I’ll take the cop-out middle ground. The answer must differ from reader to reader, particularly in a newspaper like the EADT. Should I start right from the “beat-combo” beginning? To be honest, I don’t know. From that starting point, I’ve bought both their albums, checked out singles, B-sides (of which Atmosphere, incredibly, was one) taken in the film-length documentary about the band read everything I can find.Īnd so to the conumdrum I face every week writing this column: who exactly am I writing to? If I’m talking Joy Division, should I presume you know the backstory: the music, the tragedy, the legacy? Or have you even heard of them at all? My wife hadn’t. Watching Control, in fact, was a key point in my journey into Joy Division.

It’s one of the most powerful movie moments I can recall. Hook himself said he felt like he was going to throw up when the song’s glorious gloom wafted into the scene. When it comes in at the end of the film biopic Control, just after a desperate Curtis commits suicide, it’s like a punch in the stomach. It was dear old John Peel’s top song of the last millennium (“The Peelenium”) and there hasn’t been much in the first 10 years of this one to top it, I don’t think. The song has been used to soundtrack documentaries, dramas and England being knocked out of the World Cup. I don’t know whether it offers hope or desperation, although the lines “Your confusion/My illusion/Worn like a mask of self-hate” make me fear the latter. You might recognise it simply from Stephen Morris’s signature beat or Peter Hook’s restless bassline let alone tragic singer Ian Curtis’s less-is-more, heartbreaking, yet oddly uplifting lyric and haunted vocal. It’s perfectly titled it seems to have an atmosphere all of its own. The more I discovered Atmosphere (the Joy Division version) the less I chortled about beaches and bronzed lifeguards and the more I realised it was a work of genius: a slow-burning, dark piece of mood music that somehow glistens and soars.
