Is Joy Division goth or post-punk? When played by hitting bits of metal, you may wonder. Best cover of “Transmission” ever, by steel band Steel Harmony for Manchester Procession last Sunday.

Old-school industrial MP3s — obscure tapes and tiny pressings you’ve only ever heard of. Before drum machines ruined everything. I particularly recommend Rising From The Red Sand, volumes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Fodder for your late ’70s personal soundtrack device.

Also recommended: Brainwashed Radio. Just the background noise for an hour’s polite discussion over tea with religious salesmen.
