Title: So that's why Ian used Ballard's Atrocity Exhibition for a song title, he meant this CD!
Product review: The late Tony Wilson said Hannett could hear the sounds of the rings around Saturn moving. Maybe so, but all I hear on this is the sound of the bottom of a barrel being scraped, and being such a huge fan of Joy Division, did I jump on it?Yup.Am I feeling really stupid for it?For all but the last few tracks.I'd hardly consider the sounds of elevators being worthy of track listings (unless they're the 13th Floor variety) and the alternate takes are interesting from an historical standpoint, especially if you have to have EVERY bit of Joy Division ephemera, which I do.In the end, if you are a completist, hey, it's cheaper to buy this than to get a life, even on import. If you aren't that deep into the band, stick with the albums or even Permanent. I'm just bitter because I spied a rare Kraftwerk CD after I shelled out for this, that's my own stupidity.Signed,epsteinsmutha
