Joy Division

Joy Division was like a door that opened to a new style of music that can be described as a form of electronic, Gothic kind of pop/rock music. It's difficult to say exactly where the line should be drawn but than again as this band was creating a new sound and new ways of playing, it's difficult to put their music in a particular style anyway. You can sort of feel similar ambiances in their songs as you may find with the Doors, the Cure or NIN etc. A sort of dark and even depressing sensation. The bass and the drums that play with the melody rather than creating a structured rhythm section that carries the melody, helps to enhance this sensation. A great musical find. Enjoy a collection of their music...
