Limited Edition Zune : Joy Division
Posted by David Tucker in "Zune News" @ 11:00 AM
“Microsoft is readying a Joy Division edition of its Zune MP3 player to coincide with the June 10 release of an eponymous DVD about the band. The Joy Division Zune will feature an adaptation of the cover art from the band's 1979 debut, Unknown Pleasures, which artist Peter Saville created using a graph of one hundred pulses from pulsar CP 1919 (apparently the first radio pulsar ever discovered).”
In case you weren’t sure, that’s the album cover from the 1979 album. I’ve actually never heard of Joy Division before so I went and found them in the marketplace to give a listen while I wrote this up. If you’re a fan of the band then this should be a great way to celebrate their upcoming 30th anniversary. And if you’ve never heard them before, go give them a listen!
