Who Needs Babelfish? Primavera Band Profiles #2

The Durutti Column


Vini Reilly, survivor of the golden age of Factory Records and an anomaly appeared in the limits of mancunian post-punk, does not give up approaching the experimentation from every possible angle. The British guitar placer still amazes by adding new feel to his sound and improving those crystal clear Joy Division. The Manchester musician, with more than 20 published albums and a name inspired in the militia that tried to reconquer Zaragoza during the Spanish Civil War, gives a turn of screw to his career in "Keep Breathing" to come closer to traditional Jew music and African rhythms.

Don't worry. There are plenty more!

(I should probably explain: There was an official guide to all the bands, published in Catalan, Spanish, and English. The English translations are, from what we can tell, generated via a Hungarian-Turkish phrasebook.)
