“Isolation” is a 1980 song appearing on the post-punk band Joy Division’s second album, Closer. The song is based upon an industrial 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, followed by a sudden electronic crescendo.
