The 1981 Listening Post - Section 25 - Always Now

 Section 25 - Always Now



#411

September 1981

Section 25

Always Now

Genre: Wanna Be Joy Division

1.75 out of 5



Actually, it’s sort of simultaneous with Joy Division, no? It was produced by Martin Hannett and co-produced by Ian Curtis before he committed suicide. 

Thing is, if you strip Joy Division of Curtis’s humanity and depth, you are left with a pretty hollow impersonation. 

Section 25 makes me want to investigate all the other sections for something better.


The monotony, while perhaps a producing accomplishment, is an unwelcome experience to my afternoon. Looking at you, virtually ever track but, most notably, “Babies in the Bardo”. Ugh.
