Unknown Pleasures

Πρωί.Ήλιος έξω από το παράθυρο.Σαν να είναι καλοκαίρι.Σαν να ετοιμάζεσαι να πας για καφέ σε .. τραπεζάκια έξω.Στον ήλιο.Η αλήθεια είναι ότι σήμερα είναι μια μέρα απόλυτα παραδομένη στο κέντρο της δίνης του γερό-χειμώνα.Επίσης,αλήθεια είναι ότι το unknown pleasures σήμερα "μίλησε".Χτύπησε κέντρο.

Παρακάτω παραθέτω δύο -χαρακτηριστικά- σχόλιο που βρήκα για το album στο amazon.com.

Rest in Peace dear Ian

"...with the late, sadly lamented Ian Curtis droning "We were
strangers" over and over again to the backdrop of breaking
glass. Quite possibly the MOST influential disc (see ZEN
ARCADE) ever recorded by the most revered band of all time.
Let's face it kids...Joy Division meant it. Period. If you
can take just one album/CD/cassette to the "afterlife"...well...
I know you've heard it before. This is THE band that would
be blowing up arenas/stadiums if Old Ian didn't hold his own
private necktie party. One of the most manic, possessed frontmen this planet has ever seen with a singing voice that
can be both lustrous and harrowing at the same time, who gave
it all up when he got dumped. IAN!!! As Mr. Costello so aptly
put it in "Accidents can Happen"-"There are so many fish in the
sea..." God! There had to be a better way." Thomas A. Corpino (Hartsdale, New York United States)


"Right now, i am currently 15 years old and i recently released my first solo album completely single-handedly. I believe that music is the essence for living. It is my true salvation in life. For me, music is all about letting go of your emotions through your heart and soul in a way that you couldn't otherwise, and Joy Division did so with 'Unknown Pleasures'. This record carries a very foreboding and cryptic vibe through its entirety. It is an ingenius work form the late poet of despair, Ian Curtis. It is so unfortunate he let the world slip out of his hands, he is still missed to this day. Joy Division changed the world of music forever, and if it wasn't for them, i would never have known the true beauty with which music can convey. The top cuts on this record are the chilling, but brilliant "Insight" and "New Dawn Fades." Rest in Peace Ian."By A Customer
