The Durutti Column – Another Setting 2LP
Beautiful, haunting, introspective post-punk from Vini Reilly’s Durutti Column. “Prayer”, “Bordeaux”, and “Dream Of A Child” are the favorites on this one!
Originally released in 1983; remastered vinyl of Durutti Column’s third album, Another Setting, which was recorded at Strawberry Studio in Stockport and produced by Chris Nagle, a favourite engineer of Martin Hannett. The 11 track album contains several acknowledged Durutti classics, notably haunting instrumental Prayer (burnished with cor anglais by Maunagh Fleming) and The Beggar, an unusually muscular vocal song and probably the closest Vini Reilly has edged to rock music. Elsewhere Smile in the Crowd would be covered by Depeche Mode mainman Martin Gore on his 1989 solo project Counterfeit.
