jonnie u Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 You ever notice how the musicianship in Joy Division is so shabby but genious and intricate at the same time. they play some really interesting musical passages in a very unstudied genious sort of way,... peep it J.U

Yesterday I was listening to californication for the first time in a year or so, and remembering Flea's joy division influence I put substance in the cd player. I couldnt agree with you mroe J.U. I was thinking the exact same thing as I was listening to she's lost control. Even in comparison to new order, there is a chaotic naivete in Joy divisions music that is humbling, yet you realize that the music is really genius at the same time. Talk about a spooky coincidence.... www.myspace.com/movementwithoutmotion
cloclo Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 yeah the joy division craze is here and almost gone again in the meantime. no mp3 samples. but i can give you a site of some friends of mine that play in a joy division tribute band. tribute bands mostly suck, but they are okay i find. http://www.deadsouls.be/html/visuals.htm Marvelas Something
jonnie u Posted February 12, 2006 Author Posted February 12, 2006 "She lost control" is a brilliant song, Joy Division seem to re calibrate my musical sensibilties. Like the voice of Karen Carpenter

EddiePlaysBass Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Perosnally I like Joy Division. Ultimate proof that music doesn't need to be technically brilliant to be good. There's hope for me yet "I'm a work in progress." Micky Barnes The Ross Brown Shirt World Tour
ArwinH Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 I get the same feeling from some of the early beatle's stuff as well. I mean, I'm listening to no reply right now; it's not super tight but the way they use those sharp dynamic changes and the feel is just amazing. Also, don't let me down; it's got that same quality to it, it's not ground breaking or anything...but it's got that feel. www.myspace.com/movementwithoutmotion
Stackimo Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Thank you for bringing these guys up again. I pulled them up on my (legal) Napster and purchased the "Heart and Soul" tracks that were available. Listening to them I realized that many of the bass lines I have worked out in the past have been very simular to the ones I am hearing(when he plays something other than straight 8th notes). Joy Division provides a solid groove for dancing, which I would strive to do, if I were pumping out original music. I also enjoy the "80's" feel, but would like a little rougher edge to it. Anyway, I am enjoying it. Very addicting sound. "Some people are like "slinkies". They're not really good for anything; but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs."
espowari Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 I love Joy Division, but I like New Order better. Musically they had progressed, and Peter Hook was a driving force in the band for many years. I attribute my early playing style to him. If you like New Order, check out the 'next' incarnation of the band - Electronic. Great melodies and just good music.
