I think it might be somewhat connected to his epilepsy. If we can believe their accounts, some people who work in caring for disabled people have said that they've seen people with epilepsy dance just like Ian. It might be possible that something about epilepsy causes their brain to associate that movement with dancing. Of course that's all if we take those people's statements seriously and since this is the internet, I don't know how much we can do that.

Ian Curtis isn't trying to dance. Dance is trying to Ian Curtis.

Bernard's guitar absolutely slays in this and in so many other JD songs, like Shadowplay!

This is my favorite recording of this song because of Ian's delivery of the 3rd verse at 2:22. I think it really encapsulate the feeling you have when dealing with depression: The lyrics about no longer being enough with the delivery of the ugly cry scream at the end of the verse where he willingly lose control of his voice and just wants to scream. It really demonstrate the feeling of anger mixed with sadness, willingness to lose control and just giving in wishing for the pain to end. All those expressed feelings complements well into a song about being no longer in control of yourself and the media controlling your every toughts and movements.

This is the only and one TRUE version of Transmission, unique official video that was recorded live as is, raw and as you can see it.

I adore this performance. The way the instruments are layered with the prominent repetitive bass, the fast drumming, the phrases from the guitar responding to Ian as he sings, and of course Ian’s distinct dark voice. It goes from being a very controlled form of intensity to manic wild intensity so seamlessly and steadily. When Ian is screaming he looks like he’s about to collapse you can tell he’s giving all of himself to the music. I can’t gush about it enough, the whole thing is just genius and one of the greatest single performances ever.

Mad respect to all 🙌👏 all geniuses

In my early teens growing up in Manchester I never gave a hoot about Joy Divsion or any post-punk bands springing up around me at the time. Now in middle age I appreciate everything about them. The unique and clever atmospheric songs and sounds they conjured up often mirrors the darkness, confusion and struggles I had then and still have from time to time. 45 years later and the more I hear Joy Division the more they sound like the backing track to my young muddled up life that I never knew was there all along.

Your message truly resonated with me. Also a young teen in 70s Manchester, only recently recognising the genius that was JD.

I liked joy division when I was younger because of my brother but was never a huge fan, but when I revisited them in adulthood something clicked and they’ve since become one of my favorite artist. I’m from the states but it still hits over here

Everyone is impressive here. But the drummer... Good lord. What a song

I have never seen so much pain in a mans eyes.

I know a few people (musicians) that saw JD at their peak , they said they were mesmerised by Ian curtis and the music and felt weird for 4-5 days after they were so powerful!!

Early 80s. Joy Division was a HUGE part of college. I lived in the fraternity house and a brother had their albums. We'd listen to them (and other cool alt bands) almost daily.

The opening bass is still a hauntingly beautiful entity. The introduction of the drums sublime. Ian Curtis' vocals are mesmerising. The driving rhythm of the guitar takes this song to another level. They blend better than most of their era.

Few comments on here about the drummer Stephen Morris. I just want to say that without Stephen in that moment in time Joy Division would never have happened, and as I've played drums for 20 years I know that what he did with them was perfect for the other members of the band and the sound as a whole. For me he wasn't a guy in the background making noise, he really complimented the songs and laid down iconic drum tracks. I wish I could have done that!! Born too late!!

Joy Division are a classic example of how a good drummer with less technically skilled guitarist and bassist can result in excellent music. in Peter Hooks's book about New Order (Substance) he relates how when they were arranging the music for the Control film; initially it was decided that there would be no drumming, and Hook replied that the drums were the most important part of the Joy Division sound, so of course there had to be drumming.

Imagine if Stephen Brotherdale never left when they were Warsaw, this band would be very different, Stephen Morris is so underrated! and he does fit everything together so well, what I love about Joy Division is that there's no member drowned out, everyone has a part and they all play their part phenomenally.
