The album has been newly remastered by Peter Beckmann at TechnologyWorks and is pressed on 180gsm black vinyl. The outer sleeve is printed in black with a silver pantone. The inner bag includes detailed liner notes by Steve Hopkins, as well as archive TIG and Strawberry images. Martin ‘Zero’ Hannett is the legendary Manchester producer famous for his work with Joy Division, Buzzcocks, New Order, Magazine and Happy Mondays. Steve Hopkins was his musical partner in The Invisible Girls, a floating studio collective which shaped epochal records by John Cooper Clarke, Pauline Murray, Nico and several others. The first five tracks on the album are a selection of previously unreleased demos (‘moods’) recorded at the famous Strawberry Studios between 1980 and 1987. “These were the beginnings of Martin’s Invisible Girls world domination plan,” ace arranger Hopkins explains. “The idea was to assemble a roster of key instrumental players, produce tracks to be fronted by different singers/stars – and get some hits!” Also included are 3 Hannett solo pieces recorded in 1978 and 1979, with the deluxe package rounded off by a DVD featuring a remarkable 13 minute trio improvisation by Hannett, Hopkins and Vini Reilly of The Durutti Column, recorded for television in January 1980. Praise for FBN 65: ‘This store room grab conjures Manchester’s scarred wastelands, jazz-funky library music and ambient disquiet. Blade Runner via the Arndale Centre. A strange wayward collection, just like the thought processes of Hannett’s brain’ (Mojo) ‘Lovingly annotated, these effortlessly melodic backdrops offer a glimpse into what could have been as a post-punk one-stop-shop Chic’ (Q); ‘Captivating’ (Classic Pop); ‘The Nelson Riddle of narcotic rock’ (The Wire) Artist Martin Hannett & Steve Hopkins Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Factory Benelux Buying Options 180g 1LP Includes DVD Format 180g , 1LP , Includes DVD Condition New Country UK Track Listings Scandinavian Wastes Huddersfield Wastes Toy of a Toy Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Time Is Slipping Space Music First Aspect of the Same Thing The Music Room Second Aspect of the Same Thing + Celebration/Test Card live DVD Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View P.S.Eliot Introverted Romance in Our Troubled Minds Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Salinas Records | 1LP Released 11th August 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders P.S.Eliot Introverted Romance in Our Troubled Minds £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Salinas Records SKU: SAL033 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Architects Holy Hell Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Epitaph | 1LP Released 1st December 2023 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Architects Holy Hell £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Epitaph SKU: 876001 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sweeping Promises Good Living Is Coming For You Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Sub Pop | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 30th June 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sweeping Promises Good Living Is Coming For You £20.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1476X Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 30th June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tidal Sleep, The Be Water Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Holy Roar | 1LP Released 7th July 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tidal Sleep, The Be Water £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Holy Roar SKU: HRR188V Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th July 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Starmarket Starmarket Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Thirty Something Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd May 2024 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Starmarket Starmarket £24.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Thirty Something Records SKU: TSR041 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd May 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Now Now Saved Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Trans-Records | 1LP Released 18th May 2018 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Now Now Saved £26.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Trans-Records SKU: LAB159LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Aluminum Fully Beat Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Felte | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 24th May 2024 £24.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Aluminum Fully Beat £24.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Felte SKU: FLT103LPC1 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 24th May 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Departures Death Touches Us, From The Moment We Begin To Love Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Holy Roar | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 29th July 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Departures Death Touches Us, From The Moment We Begin To Love £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Holy Roar SKU: HRR161V Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 29th July 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Therapy?
