Jane's Addiction: Ritual de lo habitual
11 apr 14
One of the most important and influential albums of the nineties; the compositional peak of the visionary mind of Perry Farrell. An album recorded with a band that was practically already split: but the quality is not affected at all. From the explosive metal-funk of the opener "Stop" to the masterpiece "Three Days," eleven minutes of mystical, lysergic extraordinary intensity, with the entranced voice of shaman Perry reaching sublime evocative levels.... A monumental work.

    I was waiting for your intervention like manna from heaven; just today I was listening to the vinyl again and I wrote down the definition. Side B contains one of the best song sequences I've ever heard: all tracks elongated in duration, led by that UNIQUE voice, and then Navarro on guitar made my hair stand on end. A wonderfully disturbing record.

    Oh yes... Perry Farrell was a legend, back when he was still Perry Farrell... Unfortunately, after the stunning "Good God's Urge" by Porno For Pyros, it seems he died of an overdose and was evidently replaced by his goofy cousin. Same goes for Dave Tamarro, after "One Hot Minute" by the RHCP...

    Anyway, a band that I loved very much and that I regularly listen to; of course, the first three albums. I have never been able to see them live, and that is a regret that has haunted me for years now. I know that what I'm about to say won't find you in agreement: after God Machine, they are the best band of the nineties for me... Primus excluded.

When I have to talk about such a beautiful album, I find it incredibly difficult to continue: and at the same time, it's all too easy to fall into rhetoric. It's too easy to lavish great words on the character, on his celestial voice, on his musical approach that is both intimate yet, at times, physical and aggressive; listening to him is accompanying me in these moments and the track is about to begin, that track, that cover of a Canadian poet... I pause, amid long chills, thinking... IN ECSTASY.

    Great interpreter and talented author, who knows what he could have done with subsequent works. Such a beautiful album anyway, it's been a while since I last listened to it.

A band I stumbled upon about ten years ago when they played in a small venue near my home; a trio completely immersed in the seventies, with a heavily fuzzed-out psychedelic sound that's absolutely mind-bending (after all, the album cover features mushrooms). Just mentioning the nearly ten minutes of "Black Maria" is enough: like slow Black Sabbath going wild and meeting deranged Monster Magnet fans, with stoner blasts where the imposing shadow of the masters Kyuss appears...SATURNALIA...

Joy Division: Still
18 dec 14
"Still": my double vinyl, listened to in the morning to warm up body, soul, mind. Once again, it has achieved its purpose; an album released in 1981, a year after what we all know, dramatically. A part of unreleased tracks, some shocking and stunning as only they could offer you: "Ice Age," "Dead Souls," "The Only Mistake"...tremendous. The second half is live, from the last concert in Birmingham: it was May 2, 1980; "Digital" annihilates you, breaks you in two...FOREVER...

    The live album is terrifying, the last concert... Chilling.

    You said it all with that terrible; a few days later, the irreparable.

Joy Division: Closer
7 oct 14
Closer is released just a few weeks after Ian's suicide; an album that becomes a symbol of death, starting from its white and funereal cover. Everything hints at the end of earthly existence: the sounds, the lyrics, the production; an album that devastates deeply. A sequence of dramatic, gloomy tracks… A music that will still torment us for a long time; eternal return… forever.

    In addition, I adopt, quoting him, a comment from my friend and producer Tony Wilson: "It's almost like writing that album had a profound effect on his state of mind: instead of just containing and expressing it, he completely immersed himself in it." An album recorded in just a few days, if I remember correctly, thirteen.

Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures

It's even more painful to talk about the debut of Joy Division a day before the fateful date of May 18th; those who know the band are well aware of the dramatic episode to which I am referring. It's the narcotic, cryptic voice of Ian that draws the listener into a record where music and words tell a story of discomfort and alienation; a chilling album that ends with the long, slow, and sorrowful litany of "I Remember Nothing." Nothing and no one has come close to their spectral sound...INTERZONE...

    In short, though... With these "I mean" definitions... there are works that should be listened to - just listened to, without useless words, empty of meaning and craving for consensus... I mean, everyone who passes by you every day dies, and we should be worried about the "sacrificial angel" Ian Curtis? I feel empathy for the human journey of the man, admiration for the music and lyrics, for goodness' sake and compassion... But let's not turn it into a "Moral" election campaign every time he didn't die for us and maybe he was also a huge egoist. Fragile and certainly ill, but (MAYBE) also a great EGOIST. And anyway, I prefer "Closer" and "Substance." The best thing about this is The Unknown Pleasures of the Title (and the grand musical/literary content, obviously).

    Undoubtedly a great track. Even though I prefer 'Closer'...

    I listened to "Disorder" again the other day after a long time. My first self-flagellations, the stale scent of old feelings, I won’t go back. I was also waiting for a guide to take me by the hand. It never came. Another one of my favorites was "The Eternal," but it was on the next album.

    @HOPELESS: you are mistaken about one thing. You will find my definition next week in "Novella 2000." Jokes aside, we are talking about JOY DIVISION; I listened to the album again this afternoon and honestly wrote those few lines without caring about appearances or seeking consensus: I can assure you of that. This is my opinion, obviously not universally shared, on one of the very few records that I feel I must listen to regularly, preferably alone... just like I did. Anyway, I too prefer "Closer" by a hair, especially for the two concluding tracks (I won’t add anything else to avoid the caudine forks).

    Some time ago, I got both of them on sale, this one and Closer, listened to them several times trying to understand them well but I couldn't do it, they’re not for me... hi Lurens, have a good evening!

    This is how Joy Division should be listened to, De Marga! With a certain devotion and Discipline. Perhaps the impulse was inappropriate. Respect for the person and their taste, which nevertheless brings us together with a certain sense of urgency for unknown pleasures. Pax et Amen. CLOSER.

    @hellraiser; these damned eighties that just won’t get into your head!!! And I’m sorry for your troubled relationship with such sounds; an opinion of yours that I must reluctantly respect.

    @HOPELESS; far from me any polemical vein or hostility towards you, it would be missing. My venerable age has allowed me to discover Joy Division in the mid-eighties, thanks to a high school friend who illuminated my musical path with all the post-punk etc... etc... I still remember vividly how we tried to translate Curtis's lyrics, struck by such "ferocity" of expression. Lyrics that I then somehow tried to forget; but the love remains, it will remain... She's (HE'S) lost control...

    I too tried to translate them. When I had translated them all, I couldn't believe my eyes and senses. I thought I had made a mistake. Then I got Touching from a Distance with the biography and translated lyrics. I hadn't been wrong. They really said those desperate things. I was amazed at how a barely twenty-year-old individual could feel and write as if they carried eighty years on their shoulders. It astonished me, moved me, and even made me feel unwell, considering these are feelings we can all experience but rarely manage to articulate in words. I mean, only Rimbaud perhaps was capable of writing things of such intensity at such a "tender age." De Marga, no hostility between you and me; on the contrary, I have sympathy for you and respect for the things you have written to me. They keep calling me (I don't understand how to dedicate pieces here, I'm still relatively new, but today, May 18th, I dedicate Transmission to you, listen to it for me, bye DeM.

    The lyrics of Joy Division; rather, the lyrics of Ian Curtis; I don’t know how old you are, but you can imagine my reaction when I painstakingly translated those phrases, those words so harsh, “bad,” written by a boy who found peace only through that act. For a few years, I harbored resentment towards the band I had listened to too much; a desire to abandon them and never listen to them again... but I couldn’t stay detached from their uniquely beautiful sound for long. One of my ABSOLUTE MUSTS in Music. What beautiful words you used, I completely agree. Hello, boy.
