Possibly up there with the top 10 most iconic album covers EVER, it's a pretty seminal album too, if you're a fan of doom and gloom music (which I most certainly am).
Perfection. Love the music, and because of that, still found it uplifting, atmospheric, ground breaking.
Atmospheric and ground breaking are two phrases that go hand in hand with Unknown Pleasures. But uplifting?
The only track I find less uplifting is 'Angel, angel we go down together' by Morrissey. And to anyone who hasn't heard that track, the song title pretty much sums it up.
Only because I love them. I know it's the opposite ilk from the uplifting (not for me) Birdie Song or Katrina & The Waves.
But any gig like JD, New Order, Smiths, that we went to ... we were happy (no drugs other than beer!).
New Dawn Fades.
