Summary
"Two acclaimed albums, an upcoming US tour - Joy Division had the world at their feet. Then, on the eve of that tour, in May 1980, lead singer, Ian Curtis, committed suicide. 'One day we were Joy Division, then our lead singer died, and the next time we got together, we were a new band, ' said Hooky. The band was New Order - their label was Factory Records, their club The Haçienda. Their distinctive sound - a fusion of post-punk and ground-breaking electronica - paved the way for the dance music explosion that followed. Despite their success, New Order was always a collision of the visionary and the volatile, forged in the maverick atmosphere that dominated the Manchester music scene at the time."--Back cover.
