I wouldn't call Vini a virtuoso from a strict technical ability point of view, but he is quite exceptional at what he does regardless.

Of the original Factory LPs not yet mentioned, "Another Setting" and "Without Mercy" are both strong, if not quite as good as the first two ("Return of..." and "LC"). "Without Mercy" was an attempt to write pieces with a wider palette of instrumental textures - viola, trumpet etc. - so there's less guitar on this one.

It has a ragga MC and a version of The Fields Of Athenry. Not that its intrinsically bad (Though "Fields .." is) but it sure as hell isn’t a satisfying Durruti column listen.
Most of the early factory albums are probably the way to go

thanks, dj. he introduces a piece by "this is not a happy song" ashamedly. classic. i don't know any happy songs by vini reilly. great theory on ugly bad weather places (like manchester) with good music (people have to escape the dullness by being creative) and beautiful good weather places like barcelona where the music is shite.

Anyone ever seen the Sex and Death Cd-rom (PC Version) for sale?

Or would like to hazard a guess at how much it would cost?
