Love In the Time of Recession [140g Translucent Amber Vinyl]

The Durutti Column's umpteenth album opens with one of Vini Reilly's most heartfelt songs, a tribute to his late Factory Records boss Tony Wilson called "In Memory Of Anthony." (As the biopic 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE showed, Wilson was the Durutti Column's biggest--seemingly at times only--fan.) LOVE IN THE TIME OF RECESSION continues in a similarly accessible vein, mixing a handful of vocal tracks with several of Reilly's trademark crystalline, near-new age instrumentals, like "Wild Beast Tamed" and "More Rainbows."
