The Durutti Column
Vini Reilly
(Factory, 1989)
Factory guitarist mainstay takes “blind farmer” approach to sampling, produces gold.
At a time when fellow Factory acts New Order and the Happy Mondays were getting off their nuts at the Haçienda, Durutti Column’s Vini Reilly was going mental too – to the point where he cites the stabilizing role of psychiatrist Dr Sidney Gottlieb in getting his 11th LP finished. But rather than psychological fracture, Vini Reilly speaks of openness, peace and acceptance, possibly because of the classically-trained Reilly’s use of a cheapo Akai S500 sampler to place the voices of Otis Redding, opera singer Joan Sutherland, Tracy Chapman and Annie Lennox over his luminescent, mellifluous guitar pieces. Recorded in the summer of 1988 with Stephen Street, with whom he’d recently made Morrissey’s Viva Hate, this is Reilly at his most approachable; imagine Mozzer singing on Love No More, for example, or simply get absent in the kindly azure of Otis. The final proof of its serendipity: no sampling permission was ever sought, and to this day no one’s complained. Shhhh.
