There is a version of "Dreams Never End" played in NYC on their first US tour. Pretty spectacular. - -And as always, any version of "Temptation" is always golden. I will have to check by movie gueue to see if this doc. is available. Thanks for the heads up. M. - ----- Original Message ---- From: Joseph M.

I haven't seen the Corbijn movie, though. Andy, have you seen? The Corbijn movie is very good. I never understood Joy Division until the scene where they're performing "Transmission" on TV. > Fact I found interesting: Bernard Sumner couldn't afford a synth, so he > bought a kit and built his own, which Joy Division used. They also used an ARP Omni, mostly for string sounds and, I'm guessing, at the insistance of Martin Hannett.

I haven't seen the Corbijn movie, though. Andy, have you seen? Sure did, Mark. It made my Top Ten Films 2007, number ten--you don't recall that post? I suggest renting it ASAP. I wasn't immediately aware of a documentary. Is this the one you mean? http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Joy_Division/70081106?trkid=222336 Regarding "Temptation," I've felt for a long time that the first studio version gave us a great song struggling to escape a horrible recording. They fixed everything that needed fixing for the SUBSTANCE version. Except that, oddly enough, I prefer the original verse order...

I *greatly* prefer the original version, ragged vocals, oversaturated drum track, muffed notes and all. -d.w. > > > Andy > > > "It keeps eternal whisperings around > Desolate shores, and with its mighty swell > Gluts twice ten thousand caverns." > > --John Keats, from "Sonnet on The Sea" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 20:28:08 -0700 (PDT) From: "Joseph M. Mallon" Subject: [loud-fans] Scott's new song is available! The 125 Records site has a new Scott song available: Scott has recorded a cover of Chris Stamey's "Cara Lee," and we're going to make it available here as a free MP3 download. But there's a catch. First, a project at DonorsChoose.org needs to be fulfilled. This is your chance to help kids, and once we've raised the money, everyone gets to hear the song! Thanks so much to Scott for doing this! Well, some generous soul at Emma Email Marketing donated enough to put us over the top, so thanks, Emma! You know what that means? The song is available and you can download it right this instant. http://www.125records.com/news.html Joe Mallon jmmallon@joescafe.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 00:13:40 EDT From: Markwstaples@aol.com Subject: Re: [loud-fans] Joy Division In a message dated 7/17/2008 5:49:09 P.M.
