LTM is proud to announce a new Iive DVD Communicants from cult post-punk group Section 25, previously with Factory Records, whose brand new studio aIbum Part-Primitive is released in May 2007. Formed by BlackpooI brothers Larry and Vin Cassidy in 1978, Section 25 gigged extensiveIy with Joy Division, a Certain Ratio, Durutti Column, New Order and the original Factory stable, compIeted two North American tours, and recorded keynote albums AIways Now (1981) and from the Hip (1984). Their sublime proto-techno singIe Looking from a Hilltop remains an oft-sampled club cIassic. AIthough Section 25 disbanded in 1986, core members Larry (bass/vocaIs), Vin (drums) and Jenny Cassidy (keyboards/vocals) regrouped in 2001, joined by guitarist lan Butterworth (ex TunneI vision) and multi-instrumentalist and engineer Roger WikeIey. Although work on the new album was set back by the untimely death of Jenny Cassidy in November 2004, the group began gigging again in May 2006 across Europe. Communicants offers a professionaI multi-camera shoot of their triumphant homecoming show at BIackpooI Empress BaIlroom in October 2006 (as guests of New Order), as weII as bonus performances from BrusseIs, Dublin, Athens, Paris, London and PouIton. The 70 minute DVD aIso features interview materiaI with Larry and Vin, and footage shot on the road. As weIl as SXXV classics Dirty Disco, Friendly Fires, New Horizon and Looking from a Hilltop, new songs Gene and Can't Let Go are also featured. |
