The Durutti Column – Fidelity 2LP
Vini Reilly is joined here by vocalist Eley Rudge on a few tracks with the album mostly featuring synthesizers, drum machines, and samples alongside Reilly’s signature understated, but immensely beautiful guitar playing. Listen to “Future Perfect” and “Grace”!
Originally released on CD only 1996; ‘Fidelity’ featured 10 tracks written and performed by Vini Reilly, with occasional guest vocals by Eley Rudge. In addition to Vini’s trademark guitar stylings, the album showcased sleek electronic textures and programmed beats.
This 2019 vinyl re-master features two bonus tracks: My Only Love was originally released in 1995 on a covermount CD with a specialist guitar magazine, while experimental piece The New Fidelity was issued on a Portuguese compilation album from 1992 called Hare, Hunter, Field.
