Joy Division - Still (Factory, 1981)

Joy Division - Still
I, to DJ: "Silly vision!"

New Order - Power, Corruption and Lies (Factory, 1983)

New Order - Power, Corruption and Lies
Poor world-renowned peer Ian Curtis!



Notes

1. As most music lovers know, the surviving members of Joy Division formed New Order after their world-renowned peer Ian Curtis committed suicide.
2. Alternative anagram: Ian twirled upon rope's end. Record wore.
3. "Record wore": Don't Panic notes that Curtis "hung himself, with Iggy Pop’s The Idiot looping on the nearby turntable."
4. These anagrams are for an anonymous commenter who claimed that "this site will be like Superman without a cape until there is a review of any album by the very appropriately named band New Order."

Notes

1. Singer Ian Curtis hanged himself approximately one year after the release of this record.
