The song on PCL right before Ecstacy

Is Ultraviolence.

Krafty hints at Atmosphere and Isolation.

I also don't think anything after Low Life sounds much like Joy Division, in a typical sense.

Written by Joy Division, as is Ceremony.

Primitive Notion reminds me of 24 Hours.

Cannot come up with anything really.

I'd say Murder and that's it.

Or maybe Spooky (~Decades) and Run Wild (~Atmosphere)? :rofl:

Obviously a lot of the stuff on Movement, and some of the other early guitary stuff like Mesh, C&W, also maybe things like Ultraviolence, Ecstasy, Hurt, could be seen as one logical progression from Isolation... Primitive Notion definitely reminds me of 24 Hours. Also Sunrise... Avalanche has a little bit of Atmosphere about it?

When it came out a few people thought the working title Lordsy may have come about because the intro bassline follows a similar pattern to Day of the Lords. I think that's where any similarity with Joy Division ends.

"Angel Dust" sans synths/drum machines and "Ruined in a Day" again if it was stripped down. I guess one can argue they are distinct NO sounds but to me they both have a JD vibe.

If it were slower I think people would recall the general atmosphere of Unknown Pleasures. I don't know, I haven't listened to it for a while.
