About this product

Product Information

Two acclaimed albums and an upcoming US tour - Joy Division had the world at their feet. Then, on the eve of that tour and the beginning of what would surely have been an international success story, the band's troubled lead singer, Ian Curtis, killed himself. 'We didn't really think about it afterwards. It just sort of happened. One day we were Joy Division, then our lead singer killed himself and the next time we got together, we were a new band...'Peter Hook That band was New Order.Their distinctive sound - a fusion of post-punk and ground-breaking electronica - paved the way for the dance music explosion of the '80s and earned them the reputation as one of the most influential bands of their generation. Despite their success, the band has always been a collision the visionary and the volatile, and relationships have often been fraught with tensions. Peter Hook has written a no-holds-barred, comprehensive account of the band's entire history, packed with outrageous anecdotes and including every set list and tour itinerary and interspersed with 'geek facts' of every piece of electronic equipment used to forge the sound that changed the direction of popular music.

  • Insightful

    Well in depth account of the New Order era, full of anecdotes but also a good bit of geek information on songwriting and instrument programming. Well worth a read

  • Funny, fascinating and indiscreet

    A great book, this, detailing New Order's rise to fame and fortune from the ashes of Joy Division, with particular emphasis on tense relationships inside the band and increasing drug-fuelled misbehaviour, particularly but not only on Hook's part.

  • Substance ....

    funny....interesting ...honest....and perhaps a little boring at times with the sporadic explanations about instruments....predominantly keyboards and drum machines....other than that I loved it....well done hookey....!
