Unknown Pleasures artwork, created by Peter Saville after being chosen by the band. The original can be found in the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Astronomy.
It is the first ever 100 successive pulses to be recieved from a pulsar (PSR B1919);a pulsating neutron star. It is detected by the lighthouse effect, when electro-magnetic radiation is beamed towards earth.
”Just as John Pasche’s design for the Rolling Stones encapsulates the mouth/the voice/the attitude, so does pulsar CP 1919 express the outer-worldly dimension of Joy Division’s sound and space and, by proxy, every other emotional/ psychic conundrum that has followed in its wake.”
