This documentary isn't half as good as the Factory docu. Paul Morley talks some serious shit: talk about exaggeration and artiste adulation. As for the old hippie talking shit about Thatcher and punk being a reaction to teh shit at the time, he has clearly taken too many drugs to recall punk was pretty much over by 1979 when Thatcher came to power. A clothes line of idiots.
@AtlanteanDoubleEP Yeah ...Vini Reilly was never considered a hippie btw . He not an idiot either . Not my cup of tea musically however, just pointing out
married, with a young child not married to a young child the english language is incredably complex and also he wasnt a substace abuser he did it when he was a kid but who didnt then he tryed to kill himself with them thats different
Not to mention the constant bullshit that seems to pour out of Morely's mouth on a regular basis. Is he talking about Jesus or a singer from the late seventies?
I don't believe this hogwash was ever allowed to be made. Uninformed, cliched comments from noted buffoons like Alan McGee and the American. "Vibe". "I guess he was a dark guy". There's so much more to the Joy Division/Ian Curtis story than this, they deserve more.
Atrocity Exhibition - total genius. The planets aligned in the most perfect aspect to not only bring the members of Joy Division together - but also to bring the group together with Martin Hannett. Hannett really deserves to have a much higher profile than he seems to. RIP Martin and Ian.
These black and white photos go along perfect with the music

Never mind- misunderstood the interviewer. He was married with a young child, not married to a young child.

I agree in a way... I got a lot more out of the Factory/Manchester documentary (and of course books and articles)!
