Hit: 5 Stars
Wow. Someone Else's Party just showed up on my doorstep today. I was captured by Requiem for Mother on Radio Paradise and bought this album on a whim (I trust RP's judgement immensely)...I am VERY happy...I can tell this is going to be one that just keeps spinning and spinning. I am new to Durutti Column/Vini Reilly but can tell that I will be listening to all I can find - this music just completely defies categorization...somebody called it offbeat and trippy - which definitely apply. The guitar playing is just sublime and masterful...and unlike ANYTHING I've heard come out of a chunk of wood and some steel strings before...classical, flamenco, rock influences all around, but blended with clearly virtuoso talent. Wow. This one is special.Free Music Review: Best album I've bought in a year.

I've always enjoyed Durutti Column's music but this album blew my socks off. It's offbeat and pleasant and very trippy. Most of all it is UNIQUE. If you love synth sounds, ambient, darkwave, trance or acid jazz but are sick of Enigma clones or Goth retreads then you owe it to yourself to check this out. Unlike many of the newer bands who sound like they were mixed in a shoebox, TDC is lushly produced and there's not a filler cut on the album. "Blue" sounds like Hendrix sailing on opium... "No More Hurt" has an uptempto club beat with intricate guitar riffs... my fave is "Woman," an addictive tapestry of psychedelic dub. Another stand-out is "Spanish Lament" which incorporates a sampled version of Rebekah Del Rio's vocal extravaganza from David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive" (remember that blessedly warped operatic stage performance?) The worst that can be said for TDC is that some of their riffs are "redundant" (in the same way that David Lynch's or Fellini's soundtracks were) and if you're looking for dancey groove tracks this is definitely not for you. It also is not very Orbity-spacy, more acoustic and lyrical. If you're a Moby or Eno fan, put this at the top of your list. And if you've never heard Durutti before, get ready for a breakthrough.Free Music Review: Great CD

Over the years, the name "Durutti Column" has popped up from time to time, but for whatever reason, I never went any further than to recognize the name. I was listening to KCRW "Best of 2003" recently, and among a lot of good stuff was an awesome song with incredible twin guitar interplay and a killer groove. As it turned out, it was "No more hurt" from this CD. After spinning it only a few times, I'm here to tell you this is, indeed one of the best CDs of 2003, and if any of their other CDs even comes close to the quality of this one, this will be the beginning of my Durutti Column collection. If you need any reference points, think Peter Gabriel mixed with "the wind cries Mary" style Jimi Hendrix. I went to pollstar to see if they might be on the road, and they weren't, but interestingly, pollstar cross referenced David Bowie, Bryan Ferry, The Cure and Radiohead. Durutti Column doesn't sound just like any one of these artists, but it's fair to lump them into this genre....whatever genre this is. Get this CD now.Free Music Review: A unique sound
