JOY DIVISION
joy division - In The Studio With Martin Hannett
There's probably a reasonably good case to be made that the billing of this album should be Martin Hannett - In The Studio With Joy Division, such is the dominance of the producer's presence on these recordings. In truth, this is less an album and more like a series of indispensible studio offcuts and engineering experiments by Hannett, using Joy Division as his source material. Largely taken from sessions at Cargo Studios in Rochdale recorded between 1978 and 1979, these tracks are based around Joy Division classics like 'Atmosphere', 'Digital', 'Dead Souls', 'Glass' and 'Ice Age', though not always recognisably so. There's a lot of material based on ambience, warm-ups and equipment tests in addition to full mixes, all of which provides a precious insight into the working methods of Hannett and the band, one of the most iconic creative partnerships of the post-punk era. Essential purchase.
