Fac Dance 02 – Factory Records 12" Mixes & Rarities 1980 to 1987

Out Of Stock

A great little set – one that's even better than the first in the series! As with that one, this smashing package features great gems from the glory days of the Factory Records scene – the time when the Manchester label was also hosting its own Hacienda nightclub – and helping to change the sounds and styles of modern music around the globe! What we love about this set is the way they've gone even deeper than before – to pull out some of our favorite Factory artists who maybe didn't break as big as the others – including some that only issued 12" or 7" singles for the label, and other obscure artists from the Benelux scene. And although "dance" is part of the title, you should take that term very loosely – as many of the numbers here have more of an electronic or post-punk vibe – the kind of stuff that we loved to groove to many decades back – but which would be sure to clear the floor at an Ibiza party these days. 2CD version features 24 tracks that include "Can't Afford (unorganized mix)" by 52nd Street, "The Fox" by A Certain Ratio, "Blue Roses" by Minny Pops, "N'Sel Fix" by Fadela, "Fate" by Nyam Nyam, "Sakura" by Section 25, "Meat Mask Separatist" by Biting Tongues, "Sommadub" by Sir Horatio, "You Hurt Me" by Shark Vegas, "Host" by The Wake, "Babcock & Wilcox" by Thick Pigeon, "Softly Saying Goodbye" by Swamp Children, "Land Of Dreams" by Kalima, "Knew Noise" by Section 25, "Self Portrait" by Durutti Column, "Society" by X O Dus, "Telstar" by Ad Infinitum, and "Vaneigem Mix" by Royal Family & The Poor.  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
