"Isolation" is a 1980 song appearing on the post-punk band Joy Division's second album, ''Closer''. The song is based upon an electronic drum beat by Stephen Morris, accompanied by a high-pitched keyboard line by Bernard Sumner. Midway through the song, a rushing drum and hi-hat motif come in, propelling the song toward its dramatic end in what resembles a compact disc skipping (though the song predates the format), followed by a sudden electronic crescendo. In his book "Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division", Peter Hook reveals the ending came as the serendipitous result of Martin Hannett's efforts to rescue the original master tape from a botched edit by a junior sound engineer. The song also appears on the ''Heart and Soul'' box set and on ''Permanent''. A live version from the band's last concert appears on ''Still''. The song is also used in the 2007 Joy Division biopic ''Control''. ==Covers== *New Order played an electronic-based cover in a Peel Session in 1998, released in the In Session compilation (2004). *German industrial band Die Krupps covered the song on 1996 compilation album ''Metalmorphosis of Die Krupps '81 - '92'', not to be confused with their own song ''Isolation'' on their album ''III - Odyssey of the Mind''.〔(Discography at diekrupps.de )〕 *Northern Irish alternative metal band Therapy? covered the song on their 1994 album ''Troublegum''. *In 1995, a cover by The Smashing Pumpkins spin-off band Starchildren appeared on the tribute album ''A Means to an End: The Music of Joy Division''. *Industrial band Dessau released the Al Jourgensen produced 12" single in late 1988. *Carissa's Wierd included a cover of the song on their 2003 album ''Scrapbook''. * Dessau leader John Elliott had worked with Joy Division producer Martin Hannett in 1982 as a member of Chicago new wave act Stations, and on the 1985 Dessau release Red Languages. Their version also appears on the Dessau LP ''Exercise in Tension''.
