What their label says...
LTM is proud to announce the release of the very first soundtrack recording by The Durutti Column, the legendary Factory Records ensemble formed and fronted by virtuoso guitarist/composer Vini Reilly.
lTreatise on the Steppenwolf is the soundtrack to the performance piece of the same name by experimental theatre group 12 Stars, written and directed by Gerard McInulty, first staged in Glasgow in May 2003. Freely adapted from the celebrated counter-culture novel by Hermann Hesse, the performance is a portrait a divided character in a state of ongoing conflict.
lPreviously unreleased, the soundtrack CD combines the original studio recordings of the 12 pieces performed by The Durutti Column during the Glasgow run, as well as two bonus live tracks recorded at the event, one featuring spoken-word narrative by cast member Carolyn Allen.
lThe attractive booklet for this 60 minute digital re-master includes background notes, and images from the Glasgow performance in May 2003.
lArtist biography: Manchester native Vini Reilly formed The Durutti Column in 1978, recording his debut album The Return of the Durutti Column the following year with producer Martin Hannett, a set of delicate instrumental tracks housed in an abrasive sandpaper sleeve. Subsequent landmark albums include LC (1981), Without Mercy (1984), The Guitar & Other Machines (1987), Sex & Death (1993), Fidelity (1996) and Someone Else’s Party (2003). A prolific
recording artist in his own right (usually with drummer Bruce Mitchell), Reilly has also guested on records by Morrissey, Olive and Holly Johnson. For many years the group were managed by the late Anthony H. Wilson, founder of Factory Records.
