The Durutti Column's 1981 effort, LC features the finest snow covered iceicle-laden music ever created by an eskimo in search of a place to lay down in and die in vain. The organic, blue-grey lushness of mist this album produces cannot be replicated by any other force of nature other than this creature. When your stereo is forced to play back this album, crispness will cut the air and send you into a swirling vortex of majestic and freeing harp like repetitive guitar motiffs with a sharp, biting, ever-present 80's drum machine pulsing through the mix like a warm heart being held under the ice of Antarctica. Vin Reilly's voice is a distant spirit whispering into your ear from the trees above the tundra. "The Act Committed" thrusts you into air-conditioned hallway of endless doors from which you must choose at your leisure and discover the riches within.
This album will take you places. Places in your mind that only the Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine in all of their splendor hinted at existing. If any of this sounds at all appealing I suggest find this album and
My word, look what just fell out of my pocket!
