  • Summary: The soundtrack to the fictionalized account of the rise and fall of Manchester's Factory Records includes, somewhat obviously, a generous helping of New Order, Joy Division, and Happy Mondays songs (including the title track by the latter), as well as cuts from A Guy Called Gerald, Durutti Column, and the Buzzcocks. This is also the only album where you'll find the newest New Order single, "Here to Stay," a collaboration with the Chemical Brothers that failed to appear on either group's latest LP.… Expand

    Nearly every song here can be called seminal without the slightest flinch. [Oct 2002, p.102]

    It works well as a very basic introduction to Factory's better-known groups: Joy Division, New Order, Happy Mondays.

    The best party album ever!... Ok, that's an obnoxious and lazy over-exaggeration. It's a bloody good party album with not one duff track.

    I already had the songs as a consequence of apreciating the Manchester music scene of the 70s and 80s. Of course, not having the Stone Roses present is a major gap that shouldn´t exist. Hacienda forever.… Expand
