2008 deluxe digitally remastered and expanded 2-CD edition. This 'best of' collection catalogues seminal Manchester post-punk band Joy Division's brief but influential career. Having only recorded two studio albums 'Unknown Pleasures' and 'Closer', the band have left a lasting legacy which continues to inspire musicians to this day. There is a brooding intensity and mesmerising beauty about the songs which makes them timeless. From 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' to 'She's Lost Control' all the well-known tracks are here which makes it perfect for newcomers. Also included are recordings from the band's famed Peel session and the iconic performance on Something Else which will please ardent fans. This compilation is enjoyable on a purely sonic level, as well as being food for thought. Curtis's lyrics leave you feeling slightly dazed and disillusioned, yet they're rendered with a sort of sad passion that there's a definate appeal here to fans of genres from New Wave to industrial. If you don't know Joy Division very well, Permanent is a very cohesive introduction. And if you really like the band, you'll end up buying the other albums.
