Return Of... is completely instrumental, and is mostly guitar and drum machine, with a couple of tracks featuring live drums. It's quite short and sweet - only about half an hour (CD bonus tracks aside). I've never read an actual explanation of why Side 2 of the original LP was half the length of Side 1 - the label credits Guy Debord for inspiration, so I assumed it was some form of Situationist prank. Anyway, the CD is definitely worth owning even if only for the added bonus of "Lips That Would Kiss" and "Madeleine". There are few better arguments for bonus tracks than the re-issues of Return Of..., and, better yet, LC.
That what you wanted to know? :)

-- Bimble (grippledybu...), September 8th, 2004.
This includes Sleep Will Come! Which was (you're right) from that Brussels comp. Life is a beautiful thing. Are you going to make me pull those bonus tracks out HMMM?
Well why not, any excuse, really.
My friend is doing a DJ night in New York at this very moment, he does a night that is totally Manchester music. It's named Resurrection after the Stone Roses tune. He is spinning records right at this very moment. It's hard to believe.
I could talk for thousands and thousands of years about bands from Manchester exclusively, it is ridiculous. If that isn't the center of the musical universe I don't know what is.

"No Communication" is very a snapshot of the times. Very sub-Magazine. Mind you, Joy Div didn't arf crib the lyrics off for "Transmission".

So the LTM Durutti reissues are out -- four total: an expanded Lips That Would Kiss, Circuses and Bread and Fidelity, plus a 1981 live album from Brussels taken from a soundboard. The latter was the most interesting to me by default since I hadn't heard it before -- nice performance, one of the first times Bruce Russell had been part of the band and it's interesting hearing how he's testing the limits of the songs at points, more fills and other things, while Vini's singing is flatter and rougher given the mix. The interview at the end is a nice bonus as well -- plenty of complaints about the PA!

anybody else get a weird feeling hearing Vini's music in the film Jerry Maguire?...

not really. i hope they paid through the nose to use it though

I haven't heard that much DC, but if all those tracks on Best Of are better than "Future Perfect" well good christ.

why has allmusic.com failed to review the otherwise wonderful Time Was Gigantic...When We Were Kids LP?...
(it's true, what he said about time)...

It occurs me to me how much I wish there was a full length DVD of Durutti available. I don't think there's ever been one, has there? All I've got is a the Factory VHS "A Factory Outing" that has "The Beggar" on it, and the Umbrellas Under the Sun comp.
I found some clips on You Tube and MySpaceTV but unfortunately I'm having problems with my internet and sound right now so I can't vouch for specific clips too well.

The Japanese live album, Domo Arigato, came out on vhs years and years ago, there must be a conversion of it floating around. I also have seen a few files on torrent sites before, Fado Music Festival 1991 is one of them.

Durutti mania up in here. I'm listening to LC and actually enjoying it quite a bit, which is weird. I was always kinda disappointed in this album. I remember a local television station that sampled a bit of this for their in between breaks. Brilliant.
― Bimble, Friday, 7 March 2008 05:32 (sixteen years ago) link
disappointed by LC? does not compute
― electricsound, Friday, 7 March 2008 05:33 (sixteen years ago) link
Song they sampled was "Jaqueline", I mean.

Yeah I'm not understanding why I was disappointed in it yet, either. Maybe it will become clear later.
