イアン・カーティスを失ったジョイ・ディヴィジョンからニュー・オーダーへ。新たな歴史を記し始めた彼らの記念すべき一枚。(1981年作品)

タワーレコード （2009/04/08）

After the tragic suicide of Joy Division's Ian Curtis, the band restructured. Guitarist Bernard Sumner, whose gift for combining the melodic with the hypnotic had been the band's cornerstone, stepped up to the microphone. The resulting debut MOVEMENT finds the group taking a brave step away from its unfortunate past. Preserved are Joy Division's dark edges--Sumner's guitar attack swerves deftly between funereal repetition and noisy bursts, while bassist Peter Hook continues to explore his instrument's upper registers.
