Strange really.  The only band on the 24 Hour Party People soundtrack that I'd not heard of was The Durutti Column, yet The Guitar and Other Machines is now my most frequently played Factory album by quite some way.

Cerebral, ambient and moving I can't help thinking that The Durutti Column would be better placed on 4AD than Factory really.

The video above is live in 1981, and really epitomises their sound.  If you fancy something properly different, give it a go.
