Joy Division and New Order Discography Map - Every Album in Order

My Joy Division and New Order discography map is a music wall art print combining the two interconnected band discographies, designed as a gift for fans tracing one of the most important transformations in modern British music. From Unknown Pleasures in 1979 through to the most recent New Order studio release, each album sits on the map as a station, and every musician who played on a record runs as a tube line connecting the albums they appear on.

When I'm researching a Joy Division and New Order discography map this detailed, I work from album liner notes, verified session credit data and decades of music archives. The map traces the entire shared history of the two bands. Ian Curtis as the Joy Division vocal line through Unknown Pleasures and Closer, terminating in 1980. Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook and Stephen Morris running through both bands as a continuous three-line core, with Gillian Gilbert joining as the New Order keyboard line from Movement in 1981. Branch lines for the long arc of producers Martin Hannett on the Joy Division records, then Hannett again on early New Order, then John Robie, Quincy Jones, Stephen Hague, Arthur Baker and the various dance producers across the catalogue.

A Music Wall Art Print Gift for Joy Division and New Order Fans

This is the kind of art print that rewards a close look. Fans tracing the arc from the gothic intensity of Unknown Pleasures and Closer through the bridge of Movement, the electronic reinvention on Power, Corruption & Lies, Low-Life and Brotherhood, the dance-pop peaks of Technique, the long mid-career and the post-Hook records will see exactly which musicians shaped each record. It hangs as a music map on a feature wall, a lounge, a studio or a hallway, and works as a milestone gift for any long-term Joy Division or New Order fan.

I print every map on archival paper using a Giclée process, in A1 and A2 landscape formats, framed or unframed. You can browse the full Manchester Bands Art Prints Music Maps collection for related artists from the same scene.
