Music reviews of Heart & Soul
Music Review: Heart and Soul= Ecstasy and Desolation.
Rating: 5 Stars
Since watching that most unbelievably bipolar film, "24 Hour Party People," (amazing first third- unwatchable later part. Christ how awful. The Happy Mondays make me shudder with revulsion, as does the whole disgusting Madchester scene: hippies + dance music... Anti Joy Division, makes me fight with my gag reflex, oh I digress...)
Anyway, this is a special group for me. Joy Division is something very, VERY close to my heart. Like most of the music I love, they were one of those extremes of human creation- they either pull you into the room or exorcise your presence, quickly. Ian Curtis is the only singer I've heard who can shout out, "dance, dance, dance to the radio!" And have the sentiment sound searching, betrayed, needful, desperate... In no short part because he was so ably backed by a group of supremely talented and visionary muthas... The songs. Ian's voice. Ian's LYRICS. Ian's legend... Language breaks down under the weight of describing this music, this power. It simply has to be heard to be believed.
First off: 'Heart And Soul' has damn near everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, a Joy Division fan of any caliber could want... And even if that isn't the case (the hardcore JD fans are known for their 30+ bootlegs, rarities, badges, LPS, unauthorized bios, etc...) it certainly has everything a neophyte could need.
4 CDs. Wow. You could get hurt lifting this. About 80 songs. Those who have been in the know for forever and a day (or at least since 1979) will (...)about some exclusions (some of those Warsaw demos) or the frivolous extras... Whatever... This is codeine for the soul. This is the answer. This is the proverbial file in the cake. Better than almost every drug I have ever tried (I'm lying). For about $60 you get: both studio albums (79's "Unknown Pleasures" and 80's "Closer") in their entirety and ALL their non-LP singles (and ALL b-sides)- in full!!!! And that's just the first two discs!!! Disc 3 contains the complete John Peel Sessions, parts of the RCA Sessions and Picadilly Radio Sessions, as well as the only (known) Joy Division recording of 'In A Lonely Place,' also there's some pre-Joy Division material, from Warsaw. Disc four is full of assorted soundboard recordings from a handful of live shows. The live stuff- you either love its unbelievable rawness (hey all you Todd Solondz, "Storytelling" fans: this is the rawness of truth! hahahaha!!!) (Oh, there is very little lack of fidelity in the live stuff- it sounds real good) or you can't stand the noise and go for the cold, 'atmospheric' studio recordings... I dunno. I dig both. Give me more.
Dive in. Buy this. It's true what they say, for all you Interpol fans- Joy Division were the real thing, fleshed out. Pick it up. And if you absolutely must have every single extant Joy Division track released (on cd), there's also the BBC sessions, 'Still', 'Les Baines Douches,' and 'Preston Warehouse' each of which has live material not present on this set, of high quality. If you get this you wno't need "Substance," or "Permanent" or either of the CD studio albums... BUT. I'd get Les Baines Douches first, if you really want to ge into the live element. Be warned, it's a short step to spending hours on Ebay, searching for that one next bootleg to complete your collection- a search that never ends...
...Great booklet too. The Savage piece is comprehensive and interesting... The Paul Morley piece is pompous and the Obnoxious Frog piece even more so (he compares Joy Division with BRENTANO and KLEIST and BATAILLES and he feels the need to CAPITALIZE their NAMES, as only a name-dropping frenchman can do...) Oh: ALL of Curtis' lyrics are accounted for which is a nice change. The photos are great- and there's a discography, a sessionography and all other kinds of 'ographies a fan could want. Fairly informative stuff, and interesting.
CAVEAT: The packaging falls apart quick, especially if (like me) you haul the set around with you everywhere.
Oh, Avoid the "24 Hour party people" schlock or- No. Don't. Just watch it up until Ian comes home and quietly faces the inevitable... After that the movie becomes some kind of dance-loving, creeping Lovecraftian Slime Horror. it becomes the Atrocity Exhibition... Ugh. And not at all in a good way.
Description of Heart & Soul
1997 release, a four disc set on London packaged in a 6 x 10in gatefold digibook with an 80 page illustrated book. 80 tracks total, including all cuts from the albums 'Unknown Pleasures', 'Closer' & 'Substance', seven of the nine studiorecordings on 'Still', plus Peel session versions of 'Love Will Tear Us Apart', 'Exercise One' & 'Colony', the version of 'As You Said' that appeared as the uncredited track on New Order's 'Video 586' 12 single and last --but certainly not least-- 35 previously unreleased gems comprised of live & rare versions of their absolute finest. Utterly brilliant.Though Joy Division's anxious, angular songs echoed time-honored art-school obsessions from the Doors through Eno, they never stooped to cheap nostalgia or pretentious condescension. Neither bridge nor battering ram, the band's music--haunting and hypnotic, with an emotionally naked core as bleak as it was compelling--has transcended disposable pop culture past and present; leader-vocalist Ian Curtis's 1980 suicide only underscored the notion that Joy Division was a band out of time, figuratively as well as literally. In just over two years, the Manchester, U.K., group constructed a legacy whose influences have surfaced with the surviving members' New Order through macabre, psychically-damaged Curtis/Cobain parallels to the sonic atmospherics of Radiohead. And if their recorded output was limited, it has long been ill served by the record industry's worst Cuisinart instincts. Thus, this artfully designed four-disc, 81-track box should reign as the band's definitive recorded history. Journalist Jon Savage collaborated with band members Bernard Sumner and Peter Hook to assemble Joy Division's legacy into four subtly different chapters. Discs one and two center around the band's albums, Unknown Pleasures and Closer respectively, culling singles, demos, and outtakes. Disc three gathers BBC and Peel sessions and more than a dozen previously unreleased outtakes. The final chapter may be the most artistically revealing: 17 live tracks that represent not only the best of the band's darkly compelling songs, but show their riveting stage presence during a performance peak that spanned but seven months. The accompanying booklet presents an almost Rashomon-like take on the band, from its spare, impressionistic imagery through its multiple essays and, crucially, the lyrics of Ian Curtis, starkly presented as the candid, disquieting poetry that was the essence of Joy Division's murmuring heart and troubled soul. --Jerry McCulley
