Music Reviews of Factory Records: Communications 1978-92
Music Review: a perfect imperfection...
Rating: 4 Stars
It's been pointed out elsewhere, but this shares far too many tracks with 'Palatine' to earn a fifth star. Personally, I would have loved to have seen a few more Benelux or other oddities (e.g. ACR's 'Brazilia'). Still, it's pretty hard to knock this compilation based on what it DOES include. If you don't already own 'Palatine' then this will give you a taste of what the label was all about, from the beer & skunk sounds of Joy Division's 'An Ideal for Living' ep through to the beer & ecstasy days of New Order' 'Fine Time' through to the beer & crack funky gasps of the Happy Mondays. The Factory 'sound' spiked simple pop and dance-rock with liberal doses of chaos and shambolic post-punk amateurism. Perfectly imperfect. Tony Wilson was a visionary. When you're done listening to this go out and buy Section 25's 'Always Now', ACR's 'To Each', the Durutti Column's 'Another Setting', New Order's 'Movement', the Happy Mondays' 'Thrills Pills & Bellyaches' and (no brainer) Joy Division's 'Closer'. The LTM label (UK) is doing a nice job of re-releases from the Factory catalogue...Music Review: Sound Quality is Great. Don't like a few of the selections

I have the Factory Story....the original box set.
I loved the song Moves Like You by Cath Carroll, but on this box set its a remix. Overall, I still think they left out some great songs that were on the 24 Hour Party People sound track.
The sound quality on this is EXCELLENT
Music Review: Great product Great service
