• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The SUNDAY TIMES Top Ten Bestseller #1 Book of the Year, UNCUT #1 Book of the Year, ROUGH TRADE Book of the Year, MOJO Over the course of two albums and some legendary gigs, Joy Division became the most successful and exciting underground band of their generation. Then, on the brink of a tour to America, Ian Curtis took his own life. In This Searing Light, the Sun and Everything Else, Jon Savage has assembled three decades' worth of interviews with the principal players in the Joy Division story to create an intimate, candid and definitive account of the band. It is the story of how a group of young men can galvanise a generation of fans, artists and musicians with four chords and three-and-a-half minutes of music. And it is the story of how illness and inner demons can rob the world of a shamanic lead singer and visionary lyricist.

Rezensionen

Not only adds eye-witness intensity but brilliantly weaves together a parallel narrative in which a rubble-strewn, late '70s Manchester was revitalised by its discontented youth, with a little help from Factory impresario Tony Wilson. And even as the shadow of Curtis's personal tragedy deepens, Savage never loses sight of the band's rapid evolution as together they discovered a sound the would change modern music. Q 4****
