Joy Division 'Aerial' New Found Song Reviewed

As reported earlier, when Brit cook Jamie Oliver turned the earth for a new restaurant, a hunk of lost Joy Division master tapes were found.  Still one of the most odd events in rock and roll.

Welcome to the new tune "Aerial".  A very Joy Division sounding tune with the most haunting vocal ever.  Its an odd sort of yell from front man Ian Curtis.  The raw sound due to lack of production, I believe.

Again we get to look backward at a band who made a huge impact on the 'alternative music' world.  This is no masterpiece, this is stripped down JD from the "Unknown Pleasure" days.  Its like a hug from an old friend.

Ian Curtis even gives a nod to his fascination, Rudolph Hess, the infamous Nazi.  So this is a time capsule as well.  As expected, a new CD consisting of the rest of the unheard tracks a likely outcome for the future.
