  12. Guitarist and singular artist since the '80s, Vini Reilly, came back after a long gap with The Durutti Column's album "Renascent ", which leans atmospheric a bit, and pure gold, as usual. "Liars" is our #SongoftheDay.

  28. The Durutti Column โ€“ Vini Reilly (1989, UK)

    Continuing our journey through the epic Fedi-sourced catalogue of must-hear albums, our next spotlight is on number 184 on The List, submitted by thesweetcheat. Originally assembled by Alan Erasmus and Tony Wilson as a full band in the first days of the fabled Factory Records, The Durutti Column soon became the solo project of enigmatic (and prolific) guitar virtuoso Vini Reilly. This album, the seventh studio LP, continues the gorgeous guitar work found on his earlier ambient post-punk/dreamy art rock/experimental new wave/minimalist chamber/neoclassical releases but introduces a new toy: an Akai sampler, used to stunning effect to bring in a healthy dose of opera, soul, and pop vocal samples from the likes of Tracy Chapman, Mahalia Jackson, Annie Lennox, Otis Redding, soprano Joan Sutherland, and more (possibly even Sly Stone?). While the resulting mosaic may seem commonplace to us a quarter of a century after Mobyโ€™s Play was here, there, and every-f*cking-where, in 1989, Reilly's stitching of such disparate sounds together was ahead of its time.

    โ€œVini Reilly, by the way, is way overdue a revivalโ€ฆitโ€™s good music to chill out to.โ€ - God/Tony Wilson, in the film 24 Hour Party People (2002)

  29. CW: A spotlight on the brilliant seventh album from Manchester's The Durutti Column, i.e., guitar virtuoso Vini Reilly (CW'd for length)

    The Durutti Column โ€“ Vini Reilly (1989, UK)

    Our next spotlight is on number 184 on The List, submitted by thesweetcheat.

    The Durutti Column in the shape of a full band as assembled in 1978 by Alan Erasmus and Tony Wilson existed for only a fleeting moment, though long enough to be part of history by playing the opening โ€œFactoryโ€ nights at The Russell Club in Manchester (May 1978, alongside Joy Division and Cabaret Voltaire) and appearing on the first Factory Records release, A Factory Sample (aka FAC-2[1], 1979). And, thankfully, that fleeting moment also brought one of the finest guitarists of our time into the spotlight as, starting with the first studio LP, The Return of The Durutti Column (FACT 14, 1980), โ€œThe Durutti Columnโ€ has been the name of the (primarily) solo project of enigmatic guitar virtuoso Vini Reilly.

    By the time we get to the seventh Durutti album, Vini Reilly (FACT 244) โ€“ the title making it clear just who โ€˜the bandโ€™ was โ€“ Reilly already had a few great โ€œavant garde jazz classicalโ€[2] albums under his belt, all released by Factory Records and all very distinct from the rest of the labelโ€™s output, ranging from ambient post-punk, dreamy art rock, and experimental new wave to minimalist chamber music and neoclassical. While Reillyโ€™s usual gorgeous (acoustic and electric, often flamenco-inspired) guitar work remains the focus here โ€“ sometimes on a subtle bed of synths (introduced in full force in the previous Durutti album, The Guitar and Other Machines [FACT 204, 1987]), sometimes ever so softly punctuated by the โ€œReal Drums [by] Real Drummerโ€ Bruce Mitchell,[3] a frequent Durutti collaborator since LC (FACT 44, 1981) โ€“ this album adds something new to the Durutti bag of tricks, courtesy of an Akai sampler. Sprinkling in a healthy dose of opera,[4] soul, and pop samples, the layering of borrowed, looped, and sometimes rather obscured vocals plus some freshly recorded vocals (by guests and Reilly himself) over Reillyโ€™s otherwise largely unadorned guitar chords has a rather stunning effect.

    And while the whole album is incredible, I think the 3-song run on the vinyl version from the end of side A to beginning of side B is perfection, showcasing just how good an ear Reilly has for stitching seemingly disparate sounds together, resulting in something that would perhaps seem commonplace to us a quarter of a century after Mobyโ€™s Play (1999) was here, there, and every-f*cking-where, but in 1989 was quite possibly ahead of its time. โ€œFinding the Seaโ€ is a mini triptych piece that begins with Reilly playing a chamber-style piano section with guest vocals by Chinese librettist Liu Sola (also on previous track โ€œPeopleโ€™s Pleasure Parkโ€), then shifts to Reilly on guitar interspersed with a sample of Annie Lennox singing โ€œanother day is overโ€ (originally from โ€œBrand New Dayโ€ on Eurthymicsโ€™ Savage [1987]), and then back to the piano and Sola. โ€œThey Work Every Dayโ€ leans heavily on soul samples[5] plus guest vocals by Manchester busker Rob Gray. And in the middle of these two songs is the albumโ€™s crown jewel, the first track on side B. On โ€œOtisโ€, Reillyโ€™s calming, hopeful guitar is accompanied by three intertwining samples: Mahalia Jackson singing โ€œI walkโ€, from a recording of her take on the traditional Christian hymn โ€œThe Last Mile of the Wayโ€œ; a down-tuned Tracy Chapman singing โ€œanother sleepless night for meโ€, originally from โ€œBehind the Wallโ€ on her 1988 s/t; and, as the trackโ€™s title hinted, Otis Redding, singing โ€œcome back, come backโ€, originally from โ€œPain in My Heartโ€ on his 1964 debut album of the same name.

    My introduction to Durutti Column/Vini Reilly was via the soundtrack album for the 2002 film 24 Hour Party People (FAC 401), a faux documentary/dramatization of the Manchester music scene from 1976 to 1992, focusing on the whole Factory Records thing with Tony Wilson as the central character. Though not in the film, โ€œOtisโ€ to me is a really poignant part of the soundtrack, as I interpret its placement in the center of the album โ€“ between Joy Divisionโ€™s โ€œAtmosphereโ€ (played in the film following the funeral of Ian Curtis) and A Guy Called Geraldโ€™s โ€œVoodoo Rayโ€ โ€“ as a very gentle, delicate way to transition from the very sad end of the filmโ€™s first act to the second act that is primarily about Factory Recordโ€™s The Haรงienda nightclub (FAC 51), Happy Mondays, the birth of rave culture, and all the โ€˜Madchesterโ€™ raucousness that ensued.[6] While Reilly has a song commemorating Ian Curtis (โ€œThe Missing Boyโ€ on LC), due to the placement and vibe of โ€œOtisโ€, itโ€™s the Durutti song that is forever connected in my mind with Curtis. But I digress. As it is very easy to do when it comes to anything in the Tony Wilson/Factory Records world. I might as well also throw in here that the next Durutti album after Vini Reilly, Obey the Time (1990), sees Reilly bringing in the then-popular acid house sound, so the placement of โ€œOtisโ€ in the soundtrack kinda sorta also works as a look at where Durutti would go next.

    Anyway, the timing of this spotlight is brought to you by the fact that The Durutti Column has just released their 21st studio album, Renascent (2026) โ€“ their first in 16 years โ€“ and itโ€™s a great one. And, yes, I did say โ€œtheirโ€, as the current Durutti era sees Bruce Mitchell as a full-fledged member, as well as Keir Stewart, who has been a frequent collaborator I believe since Time Was GIGANTICโ€ฆ When We Were Kids (1998). I for one am quite pleased to see a lot of Durutti Column articles these days, as, tbh, I wouldnโ€™t have otherwise known Reilly was still active. Maybe weโ€™ll now even get a Wikipedia page for Vini Reilly and the rest of the albums no kind soul has yet volunteered their time for.

    As God (who looks like Tony Wilson) says to Tony Wilson at the end of 24 Hour Party People: โ€œVini Reilly, by the way, is way overdue a revivalโ€ฆitโ€™s good music to chill out to.โ€

    1. Factory Records assigned numbers to releases and other items (such as posters and Tony Wilsonโ€™s coffin) in roughly chronological order, with โ€˜FACโ€™ generally being used for non-albums, โ€˜FACTโ€™ generally (but not always exclusively) for albums, and the last digit often designating something specific, with those ending in a 4 generally (but not strictly) reserved for The Durutti Column. Only 2 other numbers were reserved for particular bands โ€“ 2 for Happy Mondays, 3 for Joy Division/New Order. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory_Records_discography. โ†ฉ๏ธŽ
    2. As per Reilly himself in a recent interview in The Guardian: โ€œโ€ฆI wanted to create something that wasnโ€™t a recognisable form. When we were trying to get into Canada, the customs guy asked what kind of music we played and I piped up: โ€˜Avant garde jazz classical.โ€™ It was a joke, but it stuck.โ€ Also, for a quick rundown of these earlier albums, check out this cool feature that was just recently published on Bandcamp โ€œThe Durutti Columnโ€™s Factory Years, Reconstructedโ€: https://daily.bandcamp.com/lists/durutti-column-factory-album-guide. โ†ฉ๏ธŽ
    3. Mitchell was also on A Factory Sample, playing on John Dowieโ€™s tracks. โ†ฉ๏ธŽ
    4. Bits of soprano singer Joan Sutherland probably makes up the bulk of the vocal samples throughout the album, starting from the first track, though from what works I have no idea. โ†ฉ๏ธŽ
    5. I canโ€™t find credits or even guesses on the samples used in โ€œThey Work Every Dayโ€ but methinks the โ€œmake me blow my coolโ€ line *might* be a sample from Sly & The Family Stoneโ€™s โ€œDogโ€ on A Whole New Thing (1967)??? I have no clue for the โ€œjust another working dayโ€ line. Let me know if you know! โ†ฉ๏ธŽ
    6. Full disclosure: this interpretation was largely due to my belief right up until the writing of this spotlight that โ€œOtisโ€ was actually in the film, the result of both watching the film and listening to the soundtrack dozens of times over the last 20 years and my brain syncing up the two artifacts so well that I thought the soundtrack album was a faithful mirror of the filmโ€™s actual soundtrack. What can I say. I now know the song isnโ€™t in the film, but my interpretation of why it shows up in the middle of the soundtrack still stands. โ†ฉ๏ธŽ

And even though I've listened to this song literally half my life, I didn't know until today that that "come back, come back" sample in "Otis" comes from this Otis Redding song (written by Allen Toussaint but credited under pseudonym Naomi Neville, Toussaint's mom's name), the title track of Redding's debut album.

  32. Did you know The Durutti Column was still around?! This album was released just a couple weeks ago, wtf, and recently featured on Bandcamp (link also below). That incredible guitar work is still unmistakable.

  42. I'm currently bingeing Durutti Column albums and getting ready for the new one next month, which I thought would not happen due to Vini Reilly's health issues.

  44. Hearing #TheDuruttiColumn on #Bbc6Music is weird because I really associate it with #NTSLive

    I was surprised that NTS didn't play them last month: nts.live/find?q=Durutti%20Colu

  45. Gorgeous Sunday listening from The Durutti Column - a find from last February from Want Listโ€™s lovingly presented selection of Tim Haslettโ€™s collection.

    The Durutti Column - Vini Reilly (1989/2024)

    I first bought this album on tape from Our Price in 1989; it blew my mind with its pristine guitar and sampled voices.

    This new 4CD/DVD boxset is the ninth version I've bought over the years, it still sounds so bright and fresh, like petrichor.
