I don't understand a word of this, but Anton... he's amazing. Gotta love that man.

@netherlands2 you're kidding me right? the decisive moment, met wie breng je dat automatisch in verband?

[julesath]

Off topic, but does anyone know what kind of record player Anton is using here? I'm looking for one with built in speakers but most seem really crappy.

@themoz3 you're dead wrong! corbijn is one the best rock photographers of his time! aside from that he made some great film work, not in the least 'control' a sort of biography of ian curtis, which is visually fantastic

sawa doco on this guy

sounded like a wanker

problem with this bloke is he thinks he is an important as the music artists...but he isnt, hes just support personnel..

On top of the list, well I didn't have a No. 1at first, as it changes from day to day, but it was a great time the late 70s, early 80s, a lot of great records were released, but the album from that period that was very important for me, and still is, is Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division, their first LP. It's the original cover from the 70s, with the original artwork which had barely any information on it, let me put it on. It's not my record player, so I hope it works

This is Side 2, She's lost control, first track on Side 2. I'm doing a film about Joy Division at the moment, entitled Control, and is partly because of this song

Let me put on Side 1

(Disorder plays)

The album starts very strong, the song Disorder. The album is now 27 years old, but if the album would be released today, it would still sound modern. They had a producer, Martin Hannett, who sort of invented sounds, and it sounds fantastic,

and the intensity of the vocals, but also the performance, very stripped-down, but very intense, the drummer almost being a drum-machine, it's not a normal drumsound. The grey Manchester is being translated to record in a very colourful way. I think it's great.

The sound off course doesn't come across well here at the airport; let's go to another song, New dawn fades, also a fantastic song

(NDF plays)

This is a typical Joy Division sound, a loud, low bass on all the albums
