Album info
Classic period Durutti Column recorded in 1983 but finally released in 2012 as the intended full album. Many of the tracks will sound family from the various Factory Once reissues in the mid-late 90’s and all have been available in some form or another, but never sounding as good and obviously as a complete album here. Even the “Factory Benelux” name was revamped for the release ultimately done by LTM. Full band commissioned I believe by Tony Wilson and most notably includes Tuxedomoon man Blaine L. Reininger on viola throughout. While it sounds like Metcalfe on drums, it’s not, but sounds great and moves things along along quite nicely like Vini’s upbeat early single and EP tracks. A brilliant and long over due release that hopefully keeps the interest in the Durutti Column high. One of the greatest guitarists to ever play.
Boomkat:
Nearly three decades since it was created, The Durutti Column’s “lost” fourth album is finally issued – with Factory Benelux catalogue number 36, and all. According to legend, the original album was scheduled for release on Factory’s Belgian subsidiary but an executive decision from Tony Wilson shelved it in favour of 1984’s ‘Without Mercy’. Darla Records have picked up the thread in reverent fashion, commissioning a prime remaster, and new artwork from Crepuscule designer Benoit Henneber. Some tracks have appeared on Crepuscule’s beautifully curated compilations over the years, but ultimately this is a real missing gem from the early Factory era: those skeletal drums, the sparse daubs of synth and violin, or Vini’s iconoclastic virtuosity, and just the feel of the pieces, all transporting us to some high-ceilinged apartment in Brussels or Didsbury with the hum of hash in the air. For Manchester old-timers, Balearic types and dream pop lovers, this record is hugely recommended.
