Joy Division
Factory, 1979
This amazing 1979 set was to jailbait what The Velvet Underground & Nico was to psychedelia – a acknowledge of the barmy aphotic base of a cultural movement. Produced by Martin Hannett, who makes the bandage complete like they're assuming in a meat cooler, it introduces Ian Curtis, who wails the Manchester existential dejection with a anguish so powerful, it somehow transcends abasement (when he sings "I've got the spirit," on the amazing Arctic-chunnel of an album-opener "Disorder," it's as blood-tingling as it is blood-chilling). A archetypal for endless absorption bedrock bands to come.
