Just got a 10 second snippet of this one's intro.

Can anyone identify this from the first opening bars alone?

Joy Division mp3

Any, yes, I do really know what is is! :nod:

Is it "I just called to say I love you"?

its the opening chords to Warsaw, looped, at a slightly slower bpm. judging from the electronic swoosh that comes in at the end of the clip, this is taken from some song created by someone with a bit from warsaw used as a sample.

thats my final answer

it doesn't sound like J.D. the synth sounds way too modern.

My money is on Colony too.

Unless of course it's a version of something we have not yet heard.

Bear in mind, I am listening on a PC case speaker in work, hardly Hi-Fi.

Think we might be looking in the wrong direction on this....
Could it be someone else doing a JD track, of just calling it Joy Division ????

_ nice ! Seperates the Men from the Boys so to speak. The looks or questions that you may get when on the Train etc.s.

Is it Warsaw. Has the crunchiness of the Preston February 1980 recording. But is it the MEN Arena Missing Link from the January 2006 Show. The recording is so Clean though. Last tunes being Warsaw, Love Will Tear Us Apart, Ceremony.

Ya know, this is just a riff, but it's highly addictive at that!

:skeptic: What do you know, Al? :evil4:

Got a little 31G, a little spacey 'Saville Soundtrack' feel to it... I dare to say it's an old track - that synthy bit sounds a little too neat and clean for anything back in time.

Yeah, this recording is peculiarly neat and clean. :skeptic:

Sounds like an extended intro to Warsaw to me...

But if somebody should know this, it's you!
