Interview done by Mil for NewOrderOnline.com The punk movement of late 70s Manchester was infectious. Rebellion was the order of the day: and music was the weapon of choice. The ability to play an instrument was secondary when forming a band – above all you needed spirit. Joy Division were like everyone else, making it up as they were going along, learning how to play, write and perform. So how do you show that in film? Simple. Apply the same principle to the film – capture the spirit above all. "I hope the film will be emblematic of Joy Division’s approach to music," says Michael Shamberg, co-producer of the new Joy Division film Enigmatic. "The spirit should be there. To try to represent something your work has to reflect the essence of the source." "Punk was a reaction against the overproduced mainstream which becomes nothing more than an opiate to the masses. Rock music should be like good poetry – something which both celebrates and challenges. is like a friend’s response to being offered a tribute to his work: ‘Being celebrated in times like ours is like giving autographs on the deck of the Titanic.’ "
A new book has been released about Ian Curtis and it was written by Mick Middles and Lindsay Reade. The book is now available, and you can also buy it online: Buy it at Amazon UK Buy it at Amazon USA Synopsis Cloaked in mystique, Joy Division's extraordinary vocalist Ian Curtis tragically took his own life in 1980, leaving just two haunting albums and a depleted band that would famously evolve into New Order. 25 years later, the enigma of Ian Curtis has deepened to an unprecedented level. Devotees make regular pilgramages to both his hometown of Macclesfield and to Manchester, where the story of Joy Division and Factory Records has left a profound mark on the city. Examines his life, his work, his relationships and the cultural environment in which he lived and died.

Here's a chance to bid for the actual 12 string guitar used on New Order's Technique and by myself on Monaco's Music For Pleasure album. The guitar is not in mint condition. It looks great but like most old 12 strings, because of the string tension the neck and body has bowed slightly. There's a few scratches but it still plays and sounds lovely. You can hear 'I've got a feeling' or 'Run' as soon as the note's struck. So buy yourself a fairly usable guitar and great piece of musical history. It's up on Ebay now... Click on... eBay link for this item And... Here's a chance to bid for a near mint condition 3 channel 30th Anniversary Marshall Combo. Great clean, overdrive or dirty (very) loud sounds. Used (by myself David Potts and Peter Hook) on Monaco's albums. Not gigged. All new valves and handbook. Happy bidding.
