Today marks the 35th anniversary of Joy Division's seminal album Unknown Pleasures. As announced previously, to commemorate the anniversay, several darkwave/post-punk/synth/alternative bands in Italy recorded a tribute album titled 3.5 Decades - A Joy Division Italian Tribute featuring 25 Joy Division covers. [Though the album is in celebration of Unknown Pleasures' anniversary, other tracks from Joy Division's career are also included, not just covers of songs from Unknown Pleasures.] The full album is now available to purchase for 1 Euro (~ $1.35 U.S.) here, or stream the whole thing below:
