New Order - Movement (Blu-Ray Audio)

Movement is the debut studio album by English rock band New Order, originally released on 13 November 1981 by Factory Records. Recorded following the suicide of Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis the previous year, the album is a continuation of Joy Division's dark post-punk sound, featuring increased use of synthesizers while remaining predominantly rooted in rock. In the decades since it's release, retrospective critical reception has been very positive, with reviewers praising the album as a middle ground between the band's work as Joy Division and their later alternative dance material. Slant Magazine placed the album at number 42 on it's list of "The Best Albums of the '80s", stating that it "sits almost exactly halfway between Joy Division's post-punk sound and the synth-pop style that would define New Order and influence pop music for decades."
