From the Hip - Expanded
Factory Benelux presents an expanded 4xCD box set remaster of From The Hip, the
pioneering 1984 electro album by cult Factory Records group Section 25, produced
by Bernard Sumner of New Order.
Recorded at Rockfield Studio during the summer of 1983, From The Hip was the
bandâs third album for Factory, and the first to pursue a more accessible musical
direction, thanks largely to new members Jenny Cassidy and Angela Flowers joining
Larry and Vin Cassidy and Lee Shallcross. It marks the only time that Bernard Sumner
agreed to produce an entire album for another artist, falling between the classic
New Order albums Power Corruption and Lies and Low-Life.
Adopting state of the art Roland electronics, on From the Hip Section 25 graduated
from barbed post-punk to smooth electronic pop, much of which prefigured techno
and house styles, and spawned an enduring club/dance hit in the blistering Megamix
version of Looking From a Hilltop, remixed for 12â by Sumner and Donald Johnson of
A Certain Ratio.
The original 1984 album appears on Disc 1, newly remastered by Peter Beckmann,
along with the Megamix and Restructure versions of Hilltop, along with non-album
singles Beating Heart and Dirty Disco II. Disc 2 features newer Hilltop remixes by Stephen Morris, Wrangler and Outernationale, as well as a BBC radio Kid Jensen session and the original 1983 album demos for From the Hip. Disc 3 collects together various electronic sketches and demo tracks from 1983 and 1984, plus several more remixes, while Disc 4
captures desk-recorded highlights from shows in Baton Rouge and Los Angeles
during their North American tour in 1985, showcasing the hard sequencer patterns
and TB-303 âbass squiggleâ later adopted as a signature sound of acid house.
The box and inner wallets reproduce the original iconic cover art by Peter Saville and
Trevor Key, which features the cryptic colour-coding favoured by Saville at that time.
The 16 page booklet contains liner notes by Jon Savage, Bernard Sumner, Vin Cassidy
and Angela Cassidy.
