| Nadja (Movie Trailer) - 95 sec
Nadja (1994) is a great independent film that follows the death of Dracula and how his dysfunctional vampire family goes about coping, whether trying to find love or giving up the vampire lifestyle. A 35mm black and white film with segments shot with a Fisher Price PixelVision video camera, the atmospheres are dark and rich, probably the finest treatment of the vampire genre since Nosferatu.

| Liaisons Dangereuses "Los Niños Del Parque" (version 2) - 298 sec
Germany's Liaisons Dangereuses was a group that pioneered industrial dance music with their lone self-titled 1981 album. Beate Bartel (founding member of Einstürzende Neubauten, Mania D and Matador) and Chrislo Haas (founding member of DAF, member of Minus Delta T and Crime & the City Solution) formed the group in 1981 with vocalist Krishna Goineau; the group recorded a series of four ten-minute cassettes and then formed their only album from them. The group made several live appearances throughout the remainder of 1981 and 1982 and were occasionally joined by Anita Lane (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds) and Hideto Sasaki. Liaisons Dangereuses was originally issued by Teldec Import Services and was picked up by a couple other labels shortly thereafter. Once copies of a 1985 reissue on Roadrunner dried up, the album became an extremely sought-after collector's item, thanks in no small part to the number of prominent DJs -- primarily from Chicago's house and Detroit's techno scenes -- who frequently spun the album's "Los Niños del Parque." Hit Thing reissued the album on CD again in early 2003.

| Section 25 "Looking from a Hilltop" (Version 2) - 157 sec
This is an excellent track from the Section 25 ( http://www.section25.com and http://www.myspace.com/section25 ) album "From the Hip" (easily available via iTunes and good CD shops) and one of my favorites of all time. This track had been reworked by Bernard Sumner (New Order) and A Certain Ratio drummer Donald Johnson (aka DoJo) as the single on FAC 108 (Factory Records release). Other releases of this song, the much extended "Restructure" and "Megamix" versions met with considerable success, particularly on import in the US, where Hilltop broke as a club hit in New York. The single also received extensive airplay, and succeeded in crossing over to black and Hot Mix stations in the Chicago area (as well as being a big hit in clubs like Medusa's and Orbit Room). Hilltop was also sampled by both The Shamen (1992) and Orbital (1993).

| A Certain Ratio "Shack Up" - 188 sec
From Soul Jazz (UK):
A Certain Ratio was one of the first groups to sign to the legendary Factory Records in Manchester. Whilst many people credit New Order and The Happy Mondays as the groups who brought Dance music into the sound of Manchester (later Madchester!), it is in fact ACR who were there in the beginning.
Formed in 1978, the initial line-up comprised Simon Topping (vocals), Martin Moscrop (guitar and trumpet), Peter Terrell (tape loops) and Jeremy Kerr (bass). Their debut seven-inch "All Night Party" was Factory Records fifth release. Soon after this Donald Johnson joined on drums. After a cassette only release "The Graveyard and The Ballroom" containing early versions of future ACR classic tracks like "Do The Du" and "Flight".
After this came "Shack Up". This single originally came out in Belgium, on a new Belgium subsiduary, Factory Benelux, and consequently was only available on import. This release became an underground dance record in New York (Billboard chart position 52!). This would lead to their first gigs in New York at places like Danceteria and The Roxy. On their first gig in New York they were supported by a young Madonna!
"Shack Up" had originally been recorded by Banbarra in the US and had been a Northern Soul/Funk favourite in the UK. Unlike many bands of this period, ACR were happy to mix the two traditions of their collective Manchester upbringing (Punk and Northern Soul). "Shack Up" manages to be one of Punk's funkiest ever products dancefloor material, sly humour, and Northern post-industrial alienation all in one go!
ACR was the first UK band after Punk to record in America. This signified a shift in focus of many UK bands as they started to look towards American music and culture for inspiration. The album "To Each" was recorded in New Jersey in 1980. Produced by Martin Hannett, the sound was a mix of urban US Funk/Dance music rhythms with a cold, isolated Northern sound that made it sound unique. It was here that ACR came into closer contact with their influences.
After completing the LP they invited New York group ESG (who they had recently played with) to use their remaining free studio time to record some material. This resulted in the first ESG release, which came out on Factory in the UK and 99 Records in the US. These tracks were the revolutionary "Moody", "UFO" and "You're No Good".
It was while in New York that ACR first came across new musical styles. ACR first heard Nu Yorican Latin percussion Street music in Central Park. The following day ACR brought Bongos, Whistles, Congas and a Cuica and didn't look back!
By the time of their next album "Sextet", ACR had all the ingredients of their sound in place. "Gum", "Knife Slits Water" "Skipscada" are from this album. At this time ACR would end their live sets with a ten-minute percussion workout (that would become Si Firmo O Grido) and had also taken to wearing Brazilian Football gear on stage!
By the time their next album "I'd like To See You Again" was released, Factory Records had in a sense come round to ACR's musical philosophy. Rather than ACR falling in line with Factory's grey-trenchcoat set, the opposite was true. The front cover of "I'd Like To See You Again" showed the band standing in Factory's new pride and joy, the Hacienda night-club. Factory was re-inventing itself as purveyors of Dance culture, with Joy Division changed into the more dance-orientated New Order (after the death of singer Ian Curtis) and The Happy Mondays, Madchester and rave culture still to come. At this time ACR were still moving into new areas such as the arch Disco/Funk of tracks like "Touch".
Shortly after this Simon Topping decided to leave the group to study Congas in New York. Tony Quigley was brought in on Saxophone and Andy Connell on keyboards. Tony was also a member of Manchester Jazz/Funk group Kalima, and this led to many ACR members also moonlighting in Kalima. Many new Manchester dance bands sprang up at this time. Simon Topping went on to form T-Coy with Mike Pickering who would later find fame in M-People. Andy Connell would also later find worldwide success with his pop group Swing Out Sister!
At this period the once mighty Factory Records was beginning to fall apart. After ACR recording one more record for Factory (Force), Factory closed under the weight of crippling costs from The Hacienda and New Order and Happy Mondays recording costs (The Mondays ran up a bill of a quarter of a million pounds in the Bahamas!).
