Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The rise and demise of idealist (and stoically ideological) Manchester independent label Factory Records and scene-setting "Madchester" nightclub the Hacienda is the subject of Michael Winterbottom's pop mockumentary 24 Hour Party People, the soundtrack of which naturally zooms in on the two bands whose sonic endeavours built the fragile empire brick-by-brick and beat-by-beat. Naturally, those bands are Joy Division--whose sombre granite majesty is represented by the three singles and the 12-inch version of "She's Lost Control"--and their liberated offspring New Order who, aside from the inevitable and financially Pyrrhric "Blue Monday", offer two previously unavailable tracks, a taut live version of "New Dawn Fades" with Moby (recorded in Los Angeles in August 2001) and their overdue collaboration with the Chemical Brothers on "Hear to Stay", a happy Technique-styled flashback of Ibizan beach-weather pop. Plenty, too, from those incorrigible substance-ingesting wastrels the Happy Mondays, the shambling soundtrack to that brief "baggy" age of acid, Es and aggro, Factory's last sunset before sweating over the sums and the Hacienda attracting unsavoury persons with machine guns. Pitted throughout are influential cultural reference points, the Sex Pistols' "Anarchy in the UK" (their Free Trade Hall gig in 1976, attended by many people who feature on this record, lit the punk fuse in England's northern provinces) and Chicago house innovator Marshall Jefferson's "Move Your Body", veritable stations of the cross on Factory Records road to Calvary. A tale of the head ruled by the heart, it was Factory's love for what they did that tore them apart. But the memories party on. --Kevin Maidment

5.0 out of 5 stars Hallelujah, 7 Mar 2004
This is one of the finest albums to grace my CD collection. Even though it is based entirely around the Madchester scene (and before) it is an excellent eclectic mix of some of the best tunes ever. It goes from early non-Manchester punk which kicked off the greatest period of mordern music. The Sex Pistols at the Free Trade Hall was the perfect catalyst. Anarchy in the UK, along with The Clash's Janie Jones show London's influence. The haunting melody of Atmosphere shows Ian Curtis at his best, with Transmission, She's Lost Control and the ubiquitous Love Will Tear Us Apart some of the best lyrics written by Curtis. Then the next generation of the scene came with the passing of Curtis, then came New Order beinging with them Blue Monday ( a must-have for any DJ). Computer generated music to shame traditionalists. Keeping in line with having the origins of the tunes on this album is Marshall Jefferson's Move Your Body of the world-renowned Trax record label, an excellant choice to shake your money maker with. The inclusion of 808 State & A Guy Called Gerald helps re-kindle those memories for those around at the time of The Hacienda, and makes mere youngsters like myself wonder what we missed. Buy this!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Magic Memories, 16 May 2005
By A Customer
This film is almost an all time classic story of the Madchester scene and The Hacienda. For those of us lucky enough to have been there it brings back a lot of the memories that certain substances may have made rather vague! Saying that the plot is not a 100% truth, it's mainly Anthony H Wilsons career story intermingled with sections of his personal life and the founding & ending of Factory Records with lots of bands and fantastic music thrown in. Keep your eyes open for some of the cameo appearances from members of the groups of the day, and other famous yet somewhat unexpected faces in roles (Peter Kay is in there for one!) Fans of Joy Division/New Order, Happy Mondays and those with memories of The Hacienda buy this film. Hell, buy it anyway, it'll show you what you missed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect slice of Madchester, 5 April 2003
By S. Thomas "kibethewalrus" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a fantastic album in it's own right, forgetting that it's the soundtrack to a film. There are no duff filler "inspired by" tracks here, all are relevant to the time which the film documents - starting late 70's with Joy Division through to the Hacienda days of 808 State and Happy Mondays. It was interesting to hear the Duretti Column track, which I hadn't heard of previously, I absolutely love it now. I'd recommend this album to any Indie fan, and anyone who wants to know where the Ecstacy/Clubbing thing started.
