We resented it.\"\n\nEveryone else loved it though, so, according to Sumner, \"We swallowed our pride and went with it.\"\n\n\"Unknown Pleasures once sounded like the future – its genius is that, four decades later, it still sounds like the future,\" says John Robb, Manchester musician, rock journalist and author of The North Will Rise Again: Manchester Music City 1976–1996.\n\n\"It is a remarkable and astonishing record made by a band who had no idea how good they were, with a singer who didn’t live long enough to see how important they would become. Its bass-driven soundscapes utilise space, emotion and melancholy in ways the generations of bands are still trying to unravel.\" https://bit.ly/40pt0EM", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
