I like literature and poetry

Fan of Joy Division since 1984, I discovered NO in 1986 with "Ceremony" and immediately thought these guys could nothing but keep on playing the best music I ever heard : across the seas of Happiness and Melancholy, the stream of notes flowing out of Hook's bass carries me to unknown shores ; the voice of Sumner (he sings better and better !) turning around me makes me feel sometimes so dizzy... is he joking ? is he sad ? how could you know in songs written like pictures in a light and shade manner ; the drums and the keyboards - as inseparable as the "two Morris" - make my blood pressure increase until "I lose control". Now, you can understand why I'm a NO fan : it's the only band to bring me in such a state of CONFUSION !
