New Order Joy Division: Dreams Never End

by Claude Flowers, Chris Charlesworth (Editor)

Formed from the erosion of Joy Division after the suicide of Ian Curtis, New Order were early pioneers of the synthesizer in dance music, coupled with deep bass lines. This book details the start of Factory Records and New Order's connections with Manchester's Hacienda Club, of which they were part owners. Also examined is the demise of Factory, the band's signing to Phonogram and the solo careers of Peter Hook, Barney Sumner, Julian Gilbert and Steve Morris.

[Adrienne · Rating 4 out of 5]

Maybe not quite as impressive today but this was a tome in a 90s, sans-internet world (or rather it became mainstream in the same year as its publication)
