Joy Division - In the Studio With Martin Hann ett [CD]

Signifying one of the most important Joy Division discoveries to date, Cargo Records is, with the approval of his family, releasing Martin Hannett's own mix tapes of the 1978 and 1979 Cargo Studios, Rochdale sessions plus Hannett's other mixes of songs and sound effects from Strawberry and Britannia Row. Hannett had a habit of running quarter-inch tape machines throughout all Joy Division recording sessions and had an agreement with the band to create his own versions of the recording sessions. He went with the band to various studios and continually remixed what he recorded and experimented feeding what he had recorded through his AMS delays while playing around with synthesizers. It is Hannett's use of these weird and wonderful sounds that makes Joy Division's records stand out above any other punk or post-punk band, and this CD provides unprecedented insight into the process of the man who made it all possible.
