POST PUNK MASTERCLASS

I know everybody thinks they are an expert on music. In fact they are providing they have two ears. So what gives me the right to write about POST PUNK....Well I was there, I saw the good the bad and the downright nasty. Much of this music has stayed with me throughout my life. I still listen to JOY DIVISION in fact I would go as far to say they were the best POST PUNK group of the era. They only did two albums, I can here you say thats not enough, but the truth is they were perfect for their time. the first album. UNKNOWN PLEASURES is the perfect soundtrack to driving through the crumbling northern cities of the late 1970s. The production was excellent, as was the sleeve to the original LP. I used to listen to to it on my sony walkman(cutting edge back then) every day on my way to work on the train through manchester. It seemed very surreal sat in isolation in a crowded train, speeding through the decay of a once proud city, reduced to ruins there was dark satanic mills falling down everywhere. Yeah I really enjoyed going to work back then. If you dont have this wonderful album buy it...steal it...just get youre hands on it and enjoy it. 10/10
