Factory

The Durutti Column is an iconic English music project founded in 1978 by Anthony H. Wilson and Alan Erasmus in Manchester, England. However, it quickly evolved into a solo endeavor led by Vini Reilly. The project was signed to Tony Wilson's renowned label Factory from 1978 to 1992.
With their unique blend of post-punk, new wave, and experimental sounds, The Durutti Column has left an indelible mark on the music scene. Led by the talented Vini Reilly, the project has consistently pushed boundaries and defied genre conventions throughout its extensive career.
From their early beginnings as a collaborative effort to becoming a solo venture under Reilly's guidance, The Durutti Column has consistently delivered innovative and captivating compositions that have garnered critical acclaim worldwide. With their distinct soundscapes and emotive melodies, they continue to captivate audiences with each release.

Factory Benelux presents the very first soundtrack album by The Durutti Column, the legendary ensemble fronted by virtuoso guitarist and composer Vini Reilly. 'Treatise on the Steppenwolf' is a soundtrack to the performance piece of the same name by experimental theatre group 12 Stars, written and directed by Gerard McInulty, first staged in Glasgow in May 2003. Freely adapted from the celebrated counter-culture novel by Hermann Hesse, the performance is a portrait a divided character in an ongoing state of conflict. The soundtrack album combines the studio recordings of the 12 pieces performed live by The Durutti Column during the Glasgow run, as well as two bonus live tracks recorded at the event, one featuring spoken-word narrative by cast member Carolyn Allen. The booklet includes background notes and images from the show.
