The end result turned up in 1988, and as a listen easily demonstrated that the same sheer sweep and energy that applied to the band over a full-length album similarly worked, even more so, with the focus of a 7\" or 12\" release. Though the earliest tracks like \"Warsaw\" and \"Leaders of Men\" were a strange sort of art punk, there was already something distinct about the group, and by the time of \"Digital\" and \"Autosuggestion,\" it was perfectly apparent. The former centered around Curtis' circular declarations of repetition and angst, while \"Autosuggestion\" builds up slowly, carefully, before an invigorating final rush. After that, \"Transmission,\" a cold blue laser light of power, sneaking on an echo of synth and Hook's commanding bass before Morris, recorded brilliantly by Hannett, simply takes control. And from there, up and up, the whole band reaching a peak with Curtis' anguished scream \"And we could dance!\" As gripping as that is, by the time of its final singles, Joy Division outstripped even that -- \"Atmosphere\" and \"Dead Souls\" arguably make some of the best singles ever, the former a haunting, minimal call, the latter an ever more wired and explosive portrait of demand on a soul, from some inescapable outside force. Then, of course, \"Love Will Tear Us Apart,\" Joy Division's eternal calling card, the inadvertent final bow, the blueprint for endless cover versions, a portrait of love and connection endlessly turning in on itself to destruction, set to a beautiful melody and one of the band's warmest performances ever. ~ Ned Raggett\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paladin Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55539718553899,"sku":"2NLFZP-0SQK-00","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/0261\/5851\/files\/Joy-Division-SUBSTANCE_APaLc.jpg?v=1789143669"},{"product_id":"ramones-subterranean-jungle-violet-vinyl-syeor-i-vinyl","title":"Ramones - Subterranean Jungle (Violet Vinyl)","description":"RAMONES - RAMONES - SUBTERRANEAN JUNGLE (VIOLET VINYL) (SYEOR) (I) [Vinyl] \u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 603497837854 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Punk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paladin Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55539790184747,"sku":"UMSUVK-4XPP-00","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/0261\/5851\/files\/ramones-subterranean-jungle-violet-vinyl-syeor-i_XDWo7.jpg?v=1789143955"},{"product_id":"talking-heads-true-stories-vinyl","title":"Talking Heads - True Stories","description":"Talking Heads - Talking Heads - True Stories [Vinyl] \u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 603497830893 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paladin Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55539815973163,"sku":"PVFLQO-5VB8-00","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/0261\/5851\/files\/talking-heads-true-stories_zzy4j.jpg?v=1789144288"},{"product_id":"talking-heads-speaking-in-tongues-vinyl","title":"Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues","description":"Talking Heads - Talking Heads - SPEAKING IN TONGUES [Vinyl] \u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 081227966652 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTalking Heads: David Byrne (vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, percussion); Tina Weymouth (guitar, keyboards, bass, background vocals); Jerry Harrison (guitar, keyboards, background vocals); Chris Frantz (drums, keyboards, background vocals).\u003cbr\u003eAdditional personnel: Alex Weir (guitar); Shankar (violin); Richard Landry (saxophone); Wally Badarou, Bernie Worrell (synthesizer); Steve Scales, David Van Tieghem (percussion); Dolette MacDonald, Nona Hendryx (background vocals).\u003cbr\u003eOn REMAIN IN LIGHT, the Heads fused their twitchy, intellectual geek-rock sensibilities with an organic, spiritual funkiness that catapulted them into a new artistic realm, virtually unfettered by the shackles of their \"new wave\" past. SPEAKING IN TONGUES picks up where that album left off, expanding on the band's newfound funk aesthetic and even upping the danceability quotient a notch or two. The Heads let their hair down a bit more here than on REMAIN IN LIGHT, but while the tone is a bit less serious (as on the party-starting \"Burning Down The House,\") the highly developed conceptual sensibilites of Byrne and company are still at work, even without the assistance of former producer Brian Eno.\u003cbr\u003eSome of the previous album's airy abstractions are stripped away here, to make more room on the dance floor. Tunes like \"Girlfriend is Better\" attack both the feet and the mind, in typically quirky Talking Heads style. \"This Must Be the Place\/Naive Melody\" stands out as a pretty, affecting ballad about finding a sense of belonging (it's melodic charms were so pervasive it was eventually covered by folk-rocker Shawn Colvin).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 06\/04\/2013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paladin Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55540207616299,"sku":"T75VTD-0M2K-00","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/0261\/5851\/files\/Talking-Heads-SPEAKING-IN-TONGUES_nwUqa.jpg?v=1789147877"}],"url":"https:\/\/greenmangobooks.com\/collections\/gmm-1980s.oembed","provider":"Green Mango Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
