's first phase of existence had long been plagued by bad luck amid many musical triumphs, and the band's incipient reunion in 2000 was undercut by the tragic early death of due to cancer some years later. But the eventual appearance of in 2007, drawing partially on some of her last tracks but mostly consisting of newer ones done by the core of brothers and plus former member and, was well worth the wait. A vibrant, fierce collection of songs played with all the intense, live-wire energy one could want from, looks coolly around at the modern post-punk-derived musical landscape and blasts it into the next room.
Bookended by two versions of the appropriately chilly though still sprightly 'Winterland,' the album shifts easily between electronic-derived tension and mean-as-hell rock arrangements. The rhythm section of and shines on songs like 'Poppy Fields,' a kind of war tribute from hell, and the beyond-aggro 'Roma.' 's fierce, angry singing on such pieces as 'Can't Let Go' and the nervous, Krautrock-tinged sprawl of 'Ludus Cantus' matches the feeling of the album to a T, while 's ear for sudden uplift amid the tense energy, especially notable on 'She's So Pretty,' caps things perfectly. Meanwhile, 's two vocal leads - on the big, open arrangement of 'Dream' and the deft, coolly sweet 'Better Make Your Mind Up' - serve as a fine final contribution from a talent sadly cut off too soon.
Is dedicated to her memory, and it's a worthy way to be remembered.
Section 25 Part-Primitiv CD ltmcd 25 00 Section 25 Part-Primitiv Brand new studio album from cult post-punk group Section 25, who previously recorded four studio albums with the celebrated Factory Records label. Although Section 25 disbanded in 1988, core members Larry (bass/ vocals), Vin (drums) and Jenny Cassidy (keyboards/vocals) regrouped in 2001, joined by guitarist Ian Butterworth (ex Tunnelvision) and multi-instrumentalist and engineer Roger Wikeley.
While work on the new album was set back by the untimely death of Jenny Cassidy in November 2004, the group began gigging again in May 2006 and have since visited France, Belgium, Italy, Greece, Dublin, London and Poulton. Part-Primitiv was produced by the band at West Orange Studio, Preston, in 2007. Stand-out tracks include Can't Let Go, Dream, Carbon and You Never Make Your Mind Up. As the title suggests, the new album combines raw post-punk power with retro-futurist electronics, including two tracks written and sung by Jenny. Section 25 will be promoting Part-Primitiv with further live shows, including an American tour later in 2007, and will also be following their memorable appearance in the 2006 LTM documentary Shadowplayers with spots in upcoming documentaries on Factory (BBC4) and Joy Division.
