Performer: Joy Division
Distributor: Redeye Music Distribution Notes: LET THE MOVIE BEGIN is a collection of Joy Division live performances interspersed with audio interviews with band members, including several with the late Ian Curtis. A sonic companion to the documentary film about the band, LET THE MOVIE BEGIN captures the post-punk legends at various club gigs in Europe, providing a valuable snapshot of the band's thrilling, mercurial live energy. The sound quality is variable (for the interviews it is mostly poor), but Joy Division fans will find that a small price to pay for this treasure trove of rare, extraordinary material.
Joy Division virtually defined the term "post-punk." They combined punk's rawness and iconoclasm with an artier sensibility that encompassed poetic lyrics, existentialism, and a dark moody mix of guitars and keyboards that was a major influence on goth and industrial music. After singer Ian Curtis's suicide in 1980, the rest of the band went on to even greater success as the poppier, more electronic-oriented New Order. Although they burned brief, their indelible imprint revived over two decades later as inspiration for a whole movement of indie rock on both sides of the ocean.
