I liked the guitar playing a lot. It reminded me of the Edge trying to sound like Jimi Hendrix. I didn't likethe backing tracks so much.
It made me think that I ought to have some of the DC's music. What do you think I would like?
― the chimefox, Thursday, 9 September 2004 14:02 (nineteen years ago) link
If you were to choose a whole album I think you'd like 'The Return Of' (the debut), 'LC' (the second album), 'Without Mercy' or 'Vini Reilly'.
My fave is 'Obey The Time', but it may not be your cup of tea.

Great DC memory from 1985 - them doing half of Without Mercy live on the Tube 'Factory Special' one Friday night. Also on were Section 25 doing 'Hilltop' (a video - not live IIRC) and the Factory All-Stars fronted by Simon Topping, Beverly McDonald, Caesar amongst others doing various songs including LWTUA. On a FRIDAY TEA-TIME! Anyone else see this?

I used to have valuable passages on CD but lost it, then had it on vinyl, I'll have to check but did the double vinyl have more songs? Just LFO/MOD the difference?
I hadn't heard any newer stuff untill I got limewire and was able to dl some. I was suprised how good much of it is. Esp. a song called Drinking Time.

the reissues on factory once/london are grate. hilarious liner notes by tony wilson, lots of excellent bonus tracks which are sometimes better than the original album tracks. nice covers and different colours for each cd inside and on the edge of the cd. they are quite expensive though. but i guess i will try to get all the others i haven't yet. next one on my list: another setting ( unfortunately obey the time seems to be sold out at the german amazon already). the few albums on vini's site are at 15 pounds. that's quite a rip-off, isn't it?
― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Wednesday, 29 September 2004 10:08 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm actually listening to it for the first time right now and personally I think it sounds great -- one thing I've always enjoyed about the albums over time is how Reilly does play around with other sounds and styles while still sounding essentially himself. The more 'laptop' tracks actually make for a good blending to my ears.
Now, Tempis Fugit is the new album, correct? I've heard that as well, enjoyed it well enough.
― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 16:30 (nineteen years ago) link
Been listening to the 'Say What You Mean' mini-LP a lot recently. I really do think that this is the best DC. The Room, Silence & E.E are absolutely monumental.
Also I was talking bollocks on my previous post - the Amigos tracks are on the reissue of Another Setting, not Domo.

can confirm. source: my own music. it happens even when i'm not trying.
also enoch, not to be a total downer, but there is a possibility of that being the case because of vin's world view at that time. still a funny gag, especially if he was planning on making another record.

I was shocked to hear a Durutti Column song on THE BEAR a few weeks ago. I remember that he asked fans for financial help some years back when he was on the verge of becoming unhoused
― beamish13, Saturday, 22 July 2023 00:14 (nine months ago) link
That scene in The Bear was so perfect too, hope he gets/got a good wedge for that.
― MaresNest, Saturday, 22 July 2023 10:00 (nine months ago) link
According to Spotify he has 340,000 monthly listeners. Hopefully that’s enough to give him financial security.
But, yeah a poignant read. That line about gusts of wind blowing his words away is so vivid. Never knew about his early life on the streets or suicide attempts.
― Dan Worsley, Saturday, 22 July 2023 11:07 (nine months ago) link
Always wondered what he got paid for having his music in "Jerry Maguire." That was a pretty major film, Tom Cruise for pete's sake.

He should write a book. His instagram posts are great. Very political and very strongly worded. Doesn’t seem to have lost any energy on that front. And if this interview is any sign he has a lot to say.
