Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally packaged in an abrasive sandpaper sleeve, Vini Reilly's debut project for Factory Records is a breathtakingly delicate, largely instrumental guitar album. 'The Return of The Durutti Column' relies on highly intricate, delay-soaked fretwork and Martin Hannett's atmospheric production to create a deeply peaceful, meditative, and beautifully ethereal precursor to post-rock.

Genres

Descriptors: avant-garde, atmospheric, instrumental, minimal, delicate
