I consider myself a fan of JD/NO (saw JD twice and NO about a dozen times) but don't mix in the sort of circles that would allow me to have access to this material so I'm very grateful indeed to have to opportunity via this website. <br /><br />All those rumours about Steven being the best vocalist in the group turn out not to be true - Barney was the correct choice, even if he wouldn't survive one round of X Factor.<br /><br /> Homage is a revelation, "In This Room" is a great hook and they should have worked it up for Movement, but maybe the lyrics were just too personal. <br /><br />Are You Ready sound very Cabs to me; the bass is very Mallinder and the guitar very Richard Kirk so I'd be surprised if they didn't actually play on the track as well as do the "treatments".Andy Lyneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803821726494196869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155039173386175412.post-30096565120256941202009-09-12T16:44:32.847-04:002009-09-12T16:44:32.847-04:00I traveled to Manchester and Stockport in May of 1...I traveled to Manchester and Stockport in May of 1990 - the 10th aniversary of Ian's death for at least a look at this tape. I hijacked Peter Hook at Dry in Manchester as he opened it, child in arms, at 11 am one morning. Going there on a tip, I almost fainted when the bass master himself showed up to open the place. With the thought' "I traveled from the US for this, let's do this," I began to get my nerve up to start asking questions. This was a many purpose trip - one to write a screenplay about Joy Division, two to get some photos of 'times gone by' and three to investigate the geography of other bands I loved. I started asking him questions about everything JD/NO, one of them being about the Western Works Tapes, as I had known about them since purchasing a 45 of the session at Bleeker Bob's in NYC years earlier. Hooky hinted at their existence at the studio itself. I found my way to Strawberry Studios, but never got close to Western Works. Ironically, 1 year later I lived in East Orange, NJ a block away from EARS where Ceremony (original track) was recorded. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the tapes. 1980- 1982 was my favorite time in N.O. history, and Movement is still one of my favorites by them, even if they hate it. BTW, on that same trip, I met Debbie and Natalie, as well as Steven and Gillian, and Tony Wilson. It was amazing how accessible they were to all who inquired and how friendly they were once they got to know that you weren't an axe murderer.moffetcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794467154549984352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155039173386175412.post-91325780979473614662009-09-12T02:43:45.884-04:002009-09-12T02:43:45.884-04:00Thank you very much for this offer, I only had a L...Thank you very much for this offer, I only had a LQ mp3 bunch of it, now I will be able to hear it in its full glory!Jah Pasquerelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13821372320263193886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155039173386175412.post-3919686262937271372009-09-11T08:12:16.824-04:002009-09-11T08:12:16.824-04:00Simply stunning - to hear these tracks and in this...Simply stunning - to hear these tracks and in this quality after all these years, and to get the aadditional info ref Chris Watson!<br /><br />Does anyone have a pic of Western Works?
