Free Music Notes for 24 Hour Party People [Music from the Motion Picture]
Free Music Review: R.I.P. Hacienda!
Hit: 4 Stars
While London-based guitar driven punk got most of the attention, the elctro/acid based music of the Mad-chester scene has probably had a greater influence on today's techno-based music. This soundtrack provides a great summary of the music of the Hacienda, the legendary club owned by Factory Records.Factory's most famous bands, Joy Division and its post-Ian Curtis remake, New Order, are represented by a few of their classic tracks (Love Will Tear Us Apart, the song that is rumored to have driven Ian to suicide, still sounds fresh, and New Order's Blue Monday, which would fit on any top 40 station 20 years after its release). Among the other great tracks by New Order is a live "New Dawn Fade" featuring Moby and Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins. Listening makes you wonder why this band was never a monster in America.
Fortunately, this CD also features a number of the other near-greats from the Manchester scene, and 808 state's Pacific State is easily the best of these tunes. It's use of saxophones and syhthesizers to drive the beat proves that electronic music can have a lot of heart.
Happy Mondays, The Buzzcocks and some other legendary bands also appear on this soundtrack which interstingly kicks off with the Sex Pistol's Anarchy in the U.K. - a bit of irony that this song, with its minimalistic attitude and scratchy vocals appears on a soundtrack for music that is the aural opposite of the punk flavor.
I'm looking forward to the release of this movie - the Factory sound was key (along with Giorgio Moroder) to the introduction of electronica/ambient/trip-hop music of today, and it serves a vital role in the bridging of musical genres.
Free Music Review: Good collection
Hit: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed this film â?" it made me want to go out and buy records that I wouldnâ??t normally buy. Joy Division, for example, have never really been my cup of tea. Same goes for Happy Mondays and A Certain Ratio. When seen in context, however, one suddenly begins to see it all in a very different light. As the film emphasises repeatedly, this is all about Factory Records and the city of Manchester â?" mainly in the 1980s, when that city was the Mecca of indie pop (Smiths, Fall, New Order). A superb collection of Factoryâ??s best moments and a must-have for fans of 80s English indie pop.Free Music Review: review for "24 Hour Party People"

Enjoyable movie about the events leading up to the second "Summer of Love" in Manchester, UK. While a docudrama, anyone interested in the events that lead up to and included the rave culture that started in the UK will want to watch this and get a sense of those events. Well done in the docudrama sense, there could have been a bit more explanation of the backstory as well as the front story although as seen, it is entertaining. Watch this with the movies "Control" and "Joy Division" to immerse yourself in another historical nexus that The Man tried to quash...Free Music Review: nice mix
Hit: 4 Stars
If you've seent this movie and/or are into the manchester music scene or any kind of retro/punk/new wave this is a great cd for you. Most of the best songs and artists featured in this movie are present on this cd. It is worth mentioning that 'A Certain Ratio' is conspicuously absent after being featured and mentioned repeatedly in the film. I would've liked to have hear 1 or 2 of tracks by ACR here.
Recommended!
